From the pattern description:

This traditional teddy couldn’t be easier to make. From nose to toes, he’s worked in one basic stitch. Simple shaping gives him his soft round shape and there is little sewing up to do too. Full him with bean bag-beads for even more cuddle appeal.

Worked throughout in garter stitch with easy increasing and decreasing for shaping.
