Knitted Teddy Bears: Dressed with Handknits, Paperback

It is fun to knit teddy bears and comforting to think that the bear can become a beloved friend for the child who receives it. In this book, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for knitting teddy bears that are constructed somewhat differently than usual. The patterns for the garments are basic templates you can easily adapt to create your own styles. Most of the bear outfits are very easy to knit. All the measurements in the patterns are given in stitches and rows, instead of gauge and inches/centimeters. That frees you to choose the yarns you want to knit with.
