Each of the Bear Necessities Patterns, designed in-house by Judy, are created with rapt attention to detail.

Bear Necessities Bear, provides instructions for knitting one ‘naked’ bear. The following 8 Bear Necessities patterns are all outfits that fit the bear.

Instructions are written row by row with lots of photos. The legs, body, arms, head, and ears are knit separately, then sewn together.

The bear can easily be knit larger or smaller by adjusting the weight of yarn used and needle size. Please note, if the weight of yarn is changed, the amount needed will also change.
