ML075 Bear Tones

Cranley: "Perhaps you still have your first teddy bear. I have mine. It is curious how this toy holds a magic that can transport us back to a time of which we really have no distinct memory. Perhaps that is the charm. This little stuffed bear represents a time in our lives when we didn't have a care in the world. So now that we knit, a knitted bear is a must, whether for ourselves or a sweet little someone just beginning to make memories."
This teddy bear pattern can be knit in different yarn weights - sport, worsted, or chunky - to result in Baby, Mama, and Papa bear sizes ranging from 16"/40cm to 25½"/65cm. Toy pieces are knit separately then sewn together. Make one in a bright color and pass along the magic of a first teddy bear.
