River the Bear in Blue is a traditional teddy bear character, a knitted toy bear dressed in blue. It appeals to children because of its friendly appearance and the comforting, soft texture typical of knitted toys. Children often enjoy the bright, inviting colour of the bear’s blue outfit, which can be soothing and attractive to them.
This bear is special because it can represent a child’s first friend or companion. Knitted toys like River the Bear are unique, giving a sense of security and friendship to children. They can carry sentimental value, becoming a cherished part of childhood.
We love them because they remind us of the care and skill that goes into making them. Each stitch represents time and affection, making the bear not just a toy but a keepsake. They embody the warmth and love of the person who made or gifted them.
You might want to knit one because it allows you to create a personal and meaningful gift. Knitting River the Bear offers a way to express your creativity and love. It’s an opportunity to make a special, handmade present that can be treasured for years to come.

I have made 4 of these bears, 2 as gifts and the others I am donating to South East Coast ambulance service for children that maybe in distress whilst being in their care. I am making many more for this cause and wanted to say thanks for such a lovely, easy pattern
