Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This original teddy design is knitted in pure, hand wash wool and then transformed by a ride in a washing machine into soft strong felt.
His arms and legs are jointed so he can sit, stand or cuddle and his traditional button eyes twinkle above his embroidered nose and mouth.

My clear and detailed pattern and 8 pages of fully illustrated instructions guide you step by step, through knitting, sewing up, felting, assembling and creating the face of your teddy.
