Design by Bev Galeskas. Baby bears are quick to knit and fun to felt. Each bear will be an individual and, since personality is developed during felting and finishing, it is suggested that you wait until then to name them. Bears made in DK or worsted weight yarn will measure from 7 to 12 inches (18 to 30 cm) tall. Since bears are happy at any size, other weights of yarn may be substituted. Choose a yarn that will felt easily and firmly.
