For those who think Ysolda Teague’s Otto bear is adorable, but would look even cuter clothed, here’s a quick-to-knit, top-down raglan cardigan for him knit in the same gauge as the bear himself. Little fingers can practice buttoning and unbuttoning his sweater and dressing him themselves (but hopefully not choking on the buttons--not for use with very little children!). Otto the bear appears with the kind permission of Ysolda Teague: www.ysolda.com.

ERRATA: Row 2 of button band instructions should read “…(k1, p1) six times…” instead of “…k12…” The current version of the pattern, 080910_1, includes this correction; you may download it into your pattern library if you have an earlier or undated version!
