Knitted Teddies

Join Sandra Polley and learn to knit your own classic bear!

From miniature teddies to teddies reminiscent of collector's items of the 1940s and 50s, Knitted Teddies has patterns to knit more than fifteen gorgeous bears, ranging in style and size.

Dress your bear in style with wardrobes including jackets, vests, cardigans, dresses, dungarees, scarves and hats. Learn how to build on the patterns given to create many other variations, including 'old' bears that have been loved and left in the attic, character teddies and mascots. Making an heirloom for your loved ones to cherish for years to come has never been so easy!
