Teddy is a hood with bear ears, worked in bulky weight yarn. Children loves the ears and moms love the cute look.

This hood is worked in a seamless construction and is shaped by increases and decreases. It can be worn either open or closed by a button. The construction is similar to that of my other design Bilby.

Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
