Description from designer’s website:
Jean’s Teddy Bears have been designed to look like the teddies from days gone by. The arms and legs are sewn into place yet they have an old-fashioned jointed appearance. But although the teddies are traditional in appearance the design itself is ingenious because each individual part of the teddy - head, body, arm, leg, is knitted in one piece.

Patterns for knitted teddies used to be designed in the same way as fur fabric bears, with awkward gussets and many separate flat pieces. Or they were made like dolls, with a separately knitted snout piece sewn into the face. But with Jean’s bears the three dimensional shaping is knitted-in because the increases and decreases are worked at intervals along the rows, not at the edges of the pieces as was usual in the past. There are no ‘flat’ pieces or gussets in Jean’s Teddies and this is what gives her bears the unique three-dimensional look. This is a complete innovation - never achieved before which took Jean several months to perfect.
