Notes

Teddy bear no-timeframe weavealong! Jeen is genius.

50” warp, ish. 190 ends. 10 epi. Ranco Solid as the warp. Weft is Blue Steel held with two strands of the mohair, plain weave. A bit at the end without mohair, for the paw pads.

Pattern: Ludo at half size.

Block-fused the interfacing, traced pattern pieces, then zig-zag stitched each piece with the sewing machine before cutting.

His legs are a little far back I think, but I didn’t determine that til after the pins were bent and his tummy was stuffed, so they’ll stay this way. Fine for sitting, certainly!
