This little cardigan was designed for the bears given away at Christmas 2015 by the Cincinnati Area Salvation Army Auxiliary Toy Shop. Although the cardigan will fit a Build-A-Bear, it was made for a bear with a larger back/chest circumference so it will be a bit larger in the back.

I don’t have an official bear so my Build-A-Bear is modeling the sweaters.

Measurements of the bear:

10.5” sitting height
14” from top of head to foot
12” neck circumference
16” chest measured at the underarms
17.5-18” hips measured at the top of the legs

The pattern is a great stash-buster.
