What you need to know

Follow our handy step-by-step tutorials to create a classic teddy bear pattern.

Our Beginner Knit School pack is filled with photo tutorials to help you master the basics - you’ll be getting to grips with the basics including how to stuff toys, weaving in ends and mastering mattress stitch. Once you've finished following each step, it's time to put your new skills into practice by making two classic teddy bears. The pattern is the same for both so they’re quick to create and use simple shaping. Why not make a whole team of teddies? Try bright colours, a mix of ribbons, and you could even adjust the height for a taller bear by adding an even couple of rows for the main body.
