A cute black bear with a lot of personality that will be sure to be the keeper of many of your little one’s secrets as they play countless hours together.

Measurements:
Height: 14.5 inches (standing), 9 inches (sitting)
Width: 14 inches from paw to paw
Leg length: 5.5 inches from paw to hip
Arm length: 5.5 inches from paw to shoulder

Gauge or tension is not too important with this pattern. However, when knitting toys, it’s best to have a tighter tension so the fiberfill does not show through the stitches too much. If your tension tends to be loose, I recommend going down a needle size.

This pattern was made with Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn. You may substitute it with any #4 medium/worsted weight yarn. You will need 1 skein in each color (you won’t use it all).
Body and nose: Black (#30)
Snout and Paw Pads: Terra Cotta (#152)
Eyes: Coffee (#220) and Terra Cotta (#152)
