“One of the cutest bears we’ve ever laid eyes on…” raved Let’s Get Crafting Magazine, and we couldn't agree more! This easy-to-follow pattern ensures that you'll enjoy every step of creating your very own patriotic teddy bear.

Knit and craft a uniquely British teddy bear that stands out as a heartwarming gift or a cozy companion. This pattern is designed for ease of understanding, making it ideal for both novice and experienced knitters alike.

Originally crafted to commemorate the Jubilee, this cuddly teddy bear is not only simple to knit but also quick to sew, making it a wonderful project to showcase your knitting skills. The finished teddy measures approximately 20cm tall, making it the perfect size for hugging!

To create your lovable bear, you will need the following supplies: chunky red wool— we recommend Rico Essentials Mega Merino 100g in Red, but feel free to choose any yarn that inspires you—along with 4mm straight knitting needles, thread, felt, a darning needle, a sewing needle, and soft stuffing. For an extra touch of whimsy, you may wish to purchase a paper flag, similar to those used for cupcake decoration, to have your teddy proudly hold.

This knitting pattern not only allows you to hone your crafting skills but also results in a sweet, patriotic bear that can be cherished for years to come. Join the crafting community today and bring this charming teddy bear to life!
