Teddy bears are always popular! This bear is soft and characterful and is easy to make, with separate legs, arms, ears and muzzle. The body and head are made in one piece. The eyes and nose are stitched and are very easy to do. This makes the bear suitable for babies and young children with no removable bits.

Make sure you buy a safe filling. I used Habico multi-purpose non allergenic filling. The ruffle is crocheted on to the main body of the bear. This pattern is suitable for confident beginners. the finished size of the bear is 12”.
