Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a teddy bear afghan square or washcloth square! This square would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth, or you could put it together with some of the other squares to make an afghan or blanket (all my squares are the same size). Finished square approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)

Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used – with DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.

Thank you for these beautiful printed squares; the are great for charity blankets.
I love these patterns, thank you! I’m making an alphabet blanket for my friend who’s pregnant and I’m going to have a teddy in one corner! I’m making it 5×6 squares, so each corner will have a fun square and the middle will be all letters. I’m planning on using the teddy, sun, heart and 2020 squares for the corners!
That’s an awesome idea for a blanket design! Glad you enjoy the patterns 🙂
I have knitted this bear in pink and with the heart knitted in red, I have made a blanket for charity. 6 red hearts and 6 pink bears in total.
That sounds amazing! And so happy to hear it’s for charity too 😊
Thank you for these great instructions! I’ve done the elephant one and I’m now starting this one. They are ends for a scarf I’m donating for the children’s hospital here in Brazil.
Thanks Diana! I never thought of using them on a scarf – what a great idea! And thank you for knitting for charity 😊
