Crochet Teddy Amigurumi

Little Teddy Bear is the perfect friend for your child, sweet and charming. This bear is approximately 6-8 inches tall in a sitting position depending what on yarn weight and hook size.

My friend had asked me to make for a cute little boy and girl teddy bear. I have used the pattern on ravelry and adjusted the hook size.

All the parts of teddy bear are worked parts and then they are sewn together.
