This pattern is easy to knit, and suitable for beginner knitters. - if you can do simple increase and decrease stitches you should be just fine.

Doctor Bears head and body, knitted in a single piece with simple shaping. His tunic and trousers are removable, and his hat is sewn in place.
His clothes are knitted flat in single pieces from the top down and seamed.
