Teddy bear pattern"Knitted toy patterns"
This cute teddy bear pattern is perfect for the new baby and would be just as adorable in blue as it is in pink. I think this would be ideal to add to a baby blanket for a baby shower gift. Babies don’t need hard items or toys with parts, this little teddy will be soft and cuddly. Also think about the charities that could use these teddy bears this pattern. The neonatal units could put one in each bassinet during the holidays.
