This is a knitting pattern for a tiny stuffed toy Teddy in a coat. All parts of the toy, except for the ears, are knitted in the round and then sewn onto the body. Knitting in the round helps reduce the number of seams, giving the toy a smooth, seamless appearance. The coat is knitted flat on 2 needles, but the sleeves are worked in the round. Teal edge on the hood is worked with a crochet hook.

NOTE: Please note that knitting this toy can be a bit challenging due to its small size. Working with a small number of sts can be fiddly at times, so some knitting experience is recommended for this project.

MATERIALS: brown DK yarn approximately: 10 - 15 g
Light blue DK yarn approximately: 5 - 10 g
Handful beige DK yarn for the muzzle
Handful teal DK yarn for the sleeves and the
hood

KNITTING GAUGE:
24 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 2.5 mm needles.
Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tight enough to make sure the stuffing would not show through the stitches.
