I designed this sweater right after I crocheted my first wooly Benji the Bear. This sweater as seen in the pictures was knitted in cotton as well as in a DK wool and designed to fit Benji crocheted with 4ply Cotton (sport weight) as well as with a fingering weight wool. Please feel free to play with any yarn you have in stash. This can make a cute little chici sweater for many other soft toys or dall and create a great gift for 0 - 99 years loved heart.

Benji The Bear as seen in the pictures was knitted in La Bien Aimee x Mondim in colour Grellow with a 2.5 mm crochet hook. Please find Bear Patterns here.
