Adorable and cosy — this sweet Teddy Bear Sweater is perfect for little ones who love a cuddle! Knitted seamless from the top down with raglan increases and a charming embroidered teddy face on the front.
Why You'll Love It:
This delightful pattern is worked seamless from the top down, beginning with the yoke and raglan increases that shape the shoulders beautifully. Short rows at the neckline ensure a comfortable fit, and once you've finished knitting, you'll embroider a sweet teddy bear face onto the front — making each sweater truly special.
Yarn Recommendation:
We suggest pairing Sesia Scotland Merino 4 Ply held together with Sesia Oliver Suri Alpaca lace weight for a beautifully soft, warm finish that's gentle on delicate skin. Both yarns are from Sesia and work perfectly together.
