Inspired by everyone’s favorite teddy bear, this sweater is warm, cuddly, and soft as a cloud.

Your fingers will delight in the luscious feel, reminiscent of the thickest bath blankets, and you won’t be able to keep your hands off your adorable munchkin.

Baby Bear knits up quickly on size 9 needles, in a simple raglan design. The only seaming is along the face edge of the hood, with the sleeves knit in the round on double-pointed needles. Button holes are not needed, as the yarn is stretchy enough to accommodate, and likewise thick enough to forgive the occasional errant stitch.

The 6-12 month size has a 20” chest, and the 12-18 month size has a 22” chest, with approximately 2” of positive ease.
