A cardigan and sweater in an easy fair isle with sheep motifs around the yoke, - ideal for build a bears made in double knit yarn.

The cardigan and sweater are knit in rows, but the sweater yoke can easily be adjusted for use with a circular needle. the sweater also has a wide neck band that fits over the bears head without the need for fasteners

Materials used are approx 75g in main for both items with oddments of dark blue, pale blue and white.

I used Stylecraft special dk yarn which is great budget yarn for crafts. However other budget yarns can be thicker which would make the items larger.

To make them for a smaller bear 12/14” i suggest using smaller needles.
