Little Doctor Bear

Introducing the Little Doctor Bear knitting pattern by Claire Fairall Designs! This adorable bear is ready to play doctor and bring joy to your little ones. The pattern is easy to knit, making it perfect for beginner knitters who can handle simple increase and decrease stitches.

Doctor Bear’s head and body are knitted in a single piece with easy shaping, making the process enjoyable and quick. The best part? His tunic and trousers are removable, and his hat is sewn in place for a touch of versatility.

With clear instructions to knit his clothes flat in single pieces from the top down, you’ll have no trouble bringing this charming character to life. The finished Doctor Bear stands at 21cm/8.5″ tall, making him the ideal size for cuddles and adventures.

For this delightful project, use a 3.5mm (UK 10/US 4) needle size, and check the recommended needle size for your yarn, using a needle 1 size smaller for a close textured stocking stitch that holds its shape well when stuffed.

Doctor Bear comes to life with 20g of Golden Yellow DK/Light Worsted yarn for his body and 30g of Spearmint Green for his adorable removable clothes. Additionally, have small amounts of black and white yarn for the final touches.

To bring him to life, stuff him with toy stuffing and sew him up with a sewing needle. Finish him off with a 5mm button to complete his charming appearance.

Create your very own Little Doctor Bear with Stylecraft Special DK yarn or any Double Knit/Light Worsted yarn, and watch as he brings smiles and imaginative play to your child’s world!
