About the Design:
This pullover and hat were designed for 12-13″ tall bears.

These arans are worked circularly to the armholes, then front and back are worked flat. Sleeves are worked circularly from the cuff, then the saddle portion of the sleeve is worked flat, joining the front and back as you go (or you can work the saddles flat then sew them on.)

The only finishing involved is pulling the live underarm stitches through the body fabric and tacking down – thanks to Susan Guagliumi and Kurt Fowler for this great sleeve-joining tip!

The teddy hat is the ideal small project to practise the saddle joining technique, and how perfect its rectangular shape fits around the teddy head with large ears!
