Classic teddy bear knitting pattern, designed by Adrienne Fauser

Here he is sporting a rather fetching garter stitch bow tie. He’s knitted using simple stocking stitch with moss stitch details on the inner ears and paw pads. Tease out your stuffing when filling your toy to get a nice, smooth finish.
