Knitted Bears: All Dressed Up! (Twenty to Make) - DIY Knitting Patterns for Adorable Dressed Teddy Bears - Perfect for Gifts, Home Decor & Craft Projects

The directions for the basic bear are simple and straightforward. If you can cast on, knit in garter stitch, cast off, increase, decrease and stitch knitted pieces together, you can make a delightful 8- inch bear! The clothes are adorable. They require a bit more skill, but you can learn anything you need from a good beginner's knitting guide. This is a wonderful way to practice new techniques without using a lot of yarn. There are excellent photos of the finished products. I would recommend this book to bear-loving knitters of any skill level.
