My teddy bear Wally is not a Vera bear, so I didn’t know how this pattern would fit. I ended up making the coat’s length and sleeve length longer to fit him. I then dyed both the coat and the hat a teal blue.
While this pattern is cleverly constructed, it could have benefited from clearer directions: namely; identification of RS and WS rows, stitch counts, and more standardized symbols. The photos did help. It was not hard to knit, but I agree with several others who have said that, while it’s very cute, it’s really a lot of work and time for a teddy bear outfit.
