“We have been asked to publish directions for making a really large Bear. They are very expensive indeed to buy, and are as easy to knit at home as an ordinary jumper or other garment. Should a smaller Teddy be preferred, several others are illustrated in this issue. Or if this Teddy on finer needles with finer wool the size of the toy will be smaller accordingly.”
