Alfie the Bear wears a fair isle sweater, a removable beanie, a removable cowl, and carries a fish snack. He is knit using worsted weight yarn (14 wpi) and measures approximately 8”/20 cm from his feet to the top of his ears.

Techniques used in this pattern include knitting in the round, increasing and decreasing, ribbing, working with multiple colors, i-cord, and making buttonholes.
