Hi, I was looking for knitted teddy bear patterns and came across your two matching teddy bears. I am knitting for a charity in South Africa and was wondering how I would be able to get this pattern.
This teddy bear pattern is sold by a company called Build-a-Bear. You would have to e-mail them at colorfulhearts@buildabear.com to ask if they have knitting patterns that they make available to others.
