looking for a knitting pattern for build-a-bear teddy

jap200

Hi all, I'm hoping to save a little money by making some clothes for my niece's build-a-bear teddy for her birthday in Feb. I have a ball of fluffy pink yarn and would like to make this into a little jumper. Anyone know of any free patterns anywhere?

In case you don't know build-a-bears, they are plumpish bears about 16" (40 cm) tall.

The teddy sweater is for a 16" bear.

Thanks - it's a start. The build-a-bear teddies are much fatter than the one shown in that pattern so I don't think it would be any good.

I much just have a go at doing it without the pattern and see what happens!

If you use larger needles and a thicker wool then it will knit up bigger.

There are lots of free patterns if you have a google.

ETA:
This site has a pattern generator where you put in the size of your bear!! I googled build a bear knitting patterns.
