So, without further ado, here is the pattern for the Soft Brown Teddy Bear:
Soft Brown Teddy Bear
This teddy bear is made in flat knitting and is for the beginning knitter. It uses two kinds of yarn and one set of needles. It just uses knit and purl stitches, as well as decreasing with knitting 2 together (k2tog). This is a great one to knit up for a quick present. It took me about 18 hours to complete.
