Tooty bear is a replica of someone’s childhood teddy bear. It was made with as much love as its original.

Tooty bear was knit with two strands of yarn held together. The body and head are made in one piece and knit bottom-up. The body and limbs are knitted flat, the snout and ears are knitted in the round. You could also just knit them flat and sew them together. After assembly bear Tooty will be approximately 28cm / 11inch.
Use a needle with a big hole to embroider on the eyes, nose and mouth and Tooty will be ready to give you a big hug.
