Does anyone know where I can get some free patterns for knitted and crochet teddy sweaters?
I only found one on the internet , it is knit with a shoulder closure. ...Winney
Hi Winney,
I have a book called Knitting for Teddies by Catherine Bouquerel
ISBN 1-870586-50-6 Let me know what you need and if it is in the book I can copy it and email it to you. The pattern fit bears 13 1/2...9 1/2...and also a child 3/6 months and are knitted in 4ply.

Hi Winney.
I have a book: The Designer Collection (for Bears) edited by Judith Shangold which was conceived with Vogue Knitting to raise funds for children's issues. There are many unusual I would say projects in the book in addition to sweaters. They are designed to fit 10 inch bears.
I could scan and send a photo of the projects to see if any are of interest to you.
Many of my bears wear hand knit sweaters and hats but I make up my own patterns. They are also for small bears with very fine yarn ( 4 &5 inches ) so I don't think you would be interested. But I have found as an expert knitter than I can adapt many childrens knitting patterns to bears so this may be another way you can find free patterns.

Oh my...you girls have it ...yeah !
I need a long sleeve pull over for small bears like a 6" and a 10" and 14" .
I have one pattern for a turtle neck long sleeve sweater, fits a 3 to 5" bear.Yes, I will be making some tiny bears too.
I can size them up or down by changing the type of yarn or needle size.Little jackets or cartigans and hats would be nice too....really anything that's cute... I am not an expert knitter but can bumble thru a pattern if it's not too complicated... I sure appreciated anything you gals can send me via e-mail. See my profile for my address...Winney
These are not free books but Betty Lampen has a few books out for knitted bear sweaters. I think they are about $12.00. She has a website that you can order from. http://www.bettylampenknitbooks.com. The sweaters are all different styles and are adorable. Hope this helps.
Happy Mother's Day to you all!:D

They are very sweet.

At the local doll & bear show, there is a woman who always has a stand. She knits outfits for dolls & babies, but sometimes you can find the right size things for your bears. I have the beautiful olive green dressing gown, with a pink border. Now have to make a teddy up for it:lol::lol:
My step mom makes them for me :dance: - I can't crochet or knit, although I am working on attempting another scarf... try lion brand yarn's website... they have tons of free patterns.. i posted the link in another topic yesterday or the day before ... :hug:
Thanks all you gals for the offers... I since have found a few patterns...now I will need to make some samples for the different sizes and go from there....Winey

Jane, Janet, Marion...I can use patterns for bears about 8 to 10", 12" ...love the Nowegin sweater... I would love for you gals to e-mail me with patterns...
Kim Bee...I think I did look at Lion Yarns site..got some kids hat patterns off there and googles for some Premi patterns which may fit my small bears.
I have tons of yarn so want to start using that up...It is sooo hard to find any crochet patterns for bears...I have a few, Chrochet uses up more yarn that knitting and works up twice as fast..he, he....Winney
Winney,
There is a knitted sweater pattern in the current Teddy Bear Review. Maybe someone on here could scan it for you. I would but we can't get the scanner to install.
