Teddy in a Tee – With pattern!
Last week I found some really nice thick acrylic yarn in a local bargain store, and thought it would be perfect for making amigurumi. Then I got it home and couldn’t find the perfect pattern. So I just started crocheting and making it up as a went along! Don’t worry, I remembered to take notes so I could share with you all! ^_^
If you have never made an amigurumi before, don’t worry it’s easy. This pattern is worked in continuous spirals. Use stitch markers to mark the start of each round in case you lose count.
The pattern is in american terms.
And one last note before I start, please do not reproduce this pattern without my permission, claim it as your own, sell it etc.
Ok…
My yarn was DK, and I used a 3.5mm hook.
Start with your main colour, and make a magic loop. Now you are ready to start your head.

I was wondering if I could make it to sell on my friends baby website, http://www.madisoncreations.biz and in my Etsy Shop, http://www.sewfunbek.etsy.com. I would give you credit for your pattern. OH I love it!!

hi tara
i had a go at your teddy, my first attempt at amigurumi and it was fantastic! the pattern is great, you have a real knack for making it easy to understand – nothing worse than not being able to read a pattern! i changed mine to have a pink tee but my daughters have named ‘him’ clive so he’s a bit of a snab – sensative new age bear! thanks again!
