Winter Teddy

"Winter Teddy"

Here we have a very special teddy gang. While other bears think about their hibernation, these ones just start to get active.
It’s high season for winter bears! That means that they have to wrap the presents, make children eyes light up and also to hoarse around.... when everything is done, they like to cuddle copious with you...

This teddy is a nice eyecatcher, no matter which yarn you use… You can use smooth yarn for the smallest, or fluffy to get them really cuddly..

All of the shown teddies are crocheted with the same pattern, just the yarn is different.
Depending on the yarn and the hook size the teddy will be between 22 and 29 cm (8,7 to 11,5 inch) high. The used materials for each teddy is are listed in the pattern.

Materials:

• Crochet hook size 2,00 or 2,50 mm US A/B UK 14/12,
• 1 Teddy nose or black embroidery yarn to embroider the nose,
• teddy glass eyes 15 mm diameter,
• toy stuffing, cat brush to fluff up,

• silk ribbon in different width approx. 30 cm long – this applies to all teddies :-)

  I used the following kinds of yarn:

• "Maya" from Buttinette (50g/130meter) – a little experience should be there
• Acrylic yarn "Carola" (50g/133meter)
• Beginners: Katia "Chantilly" (50g/150meter) – with this one you should have a lot of experience for the vintage effect

Techniques:

• chain(s),
• single crochet,
• increase,
• decrease,
• change colour,
• magic ring
