THE BEAR BABY JACKET – FREE crochet pattern

THERE IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS POST HERE.

This pattern is a remake of one of the first patterns i ever designed.

I redesigned this pattern in collaboration with a yarn shop from my country and i must say i smiply love how it turned out. Its pretty for both boys and girls.

I decided to add a size to the pattern: size 0-3 months, i got the cutest reborn doll since my kids are too big to model these types of patterns for me (ugly crying face) and i just had to make a newborn size!

I would so love it if you could take the time to share this post or pin it to your pinterest – doing so goes a long way towards helping me provide more free patterns!

The pattern is available at the end of this blog post for free and supported by the ads shown on my website

I also have a premium version of this pattern that can be found below. The premium pattern includes helpful pictures when putting your pieces togheter.

Whether or not you simply pin this post on pinterest, shared it with a friend or bought my premium pattern – i am so greatful – its people like you that allow me to do what i love! Thank you, you are amazing!

Pattern info:

The number of sts for each row is written in ( * )
When a row ends with: ch 1, turn, the ch 1 does not count as a stitch
When a series of stitches are repeated those are written within *-* and the total number of time that series is repeated is written behind.
The pattern is made in 5 pieces that are then sewn or croched together, and the hood is added at the end.
The sts are divided by, for example 2sc, 1sc, 2sc, means that you make 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next st and 2 sc in the following st.
The pattern is crochet from top of neckline, the hood is crochet from the neckline and up.
When you have crocheted all the pieces you will find the assembly instructions at the end of the pattern.
