A doudou is simply an easy French name for a comfort blanket. I had an idea to make a teddy comfort blanket, using my chubby teddy pattern for the head, and adding some little arms for baby to grab too. I made it out of lovely soft organic cotton, so safe for baby to suck and easy to wash by hand or machine. For extra safety, I lined the head before stuffing it, and embroidered the face with contrasting organic cotton yarn.

I used one ball of organic cotton in pink and less than half a ball in cream. Of course you can choose the colour you wish.

I used a 3mm hook for the head and the arms, and a 4mm hook for the blanket part, but you should use the hook that corresponds to the yarn you have chosen.
