Sleepy Bobby Bear is a sweet sleepy knitted teddy bear who is ready for a nice long nap. He is ready to stretch out on your bed and get lots of cuddles! I used self-striping yarn so there is no need to change colours! Bobby can be made for any age - just leave out the safety eyes and nose for little ones.

Sleepy Bobby Bear is 43cm or 17 inches long
