Ready for a little bit of Coronation crafting? This Great British Bear is simple to make and sew, and is a very cuddly handmade memento.

As featured in Woman’s Weekly’s ‘Best Of British’ issue.

“One of the cutest bears we’ve ever laid eyes on…” Let’s Get Crafting Magazine.

To make your teddy bear you will need: chunky red wool (We used Rico Designs Essentials Mega Wool Chunky 100g in Red, but you can use any you like), 4mm straight knitting needles, thread, felt, darning needle, sewing needle and stuffing. You will also need to purchase a paper flag of the type used to decorate cupcakes if you wish to have your ted holding a flag.
