Over a dozen years back, long before I had a blog, and during my bear-making phase, I designed a simple little knit sweater to fit a Teddy Bear. I made it in 3 sizes. I wanted to share it with other knitters, and uploaded it to a free knitting pattern website. I forgot all about it until a lovely knitter from San Fran contacted me with a question. I'm glad she contacted me and I remember how much I loved making those Teddy Bears. I recall telling the story of the Three Bears to all my grandkids at one time or another... We always told the story in bed because I had three home made bears on a shelf in my bedroom and they would ask about them. Seems so long ago now...
Anyway, I thought I'd share my Teddy Bear Sweaters with my knitting buddies.
This sweater is short so Teddy's tummy won't be squeezed. And the sleeves are a generous size for Teddy's pudgy arms. You can add stripes, or maybe a simple cable like I did.

Gail - did you really make the bear? I so love the pink sweater against the white bear. Adorable. Can't wait to have time for knitting again. Lucy
I SO loved making bears with you at the cottages we went to so long ago now! I still have mine - so cute!
My motto is...if you can make the bear then you can make teddy wear. Making it yourself is actually more fun,
