Introducing our adorable knitted bear pattern, perfect for knitters of all skill levels! This cute little bear measures 8 inches (21 cm) tall and is crafted from delightful DK yarn using 3.25mm needles. Not only is this project a joy to create, but it's also an excellent opportunity to use up your leftover yarn scrap—making it a sustainable choice for your crafting needs.
The bear features charming removable play overalls, skillfully knitted in soft 4ply yarn with 3mm needles. These overalls are designed with crossover straps that fasten with two cute buttons, adding a whimsical touch to your bear's outfit.

To complete the ensemble, our bear comes with its own cozy bed, entirely knitted in DK yarn as a single piece. The bed showcases a classic check pattern for the top cover, achieved through stranded colorwork, adding an extra layer of charm to your knit project.
All components of this knitted bear are crafted flat on two needles and hand-sewn together for a polished finish. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter, this pattern is straightforward and enjoyable to follow.
