This baby bear hat and mitts pattern was designed for a new baby coming into the family. The entire project can be done in a single afternoon if you’re fast, and makes a simple quick gift for a baby shower. While the construction is simple, duplicate stitch is used on the mitts to create paws and short rows are used on the ears to create a plush structure. Use acrylic yarn for washability and to reduce the possibility of allergic reactions to natural fibers.

Images shown are for the newborn baby size, but instructions are given for both newborn and 2-4 month sizes.
