This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

This pattern is designed specifically for beginners as I couldn’t find a suitable pattern in UK terms to teach my group so I wrote my own.
I’ve published the pattern in both UK and US terms - please download the one you need.

This pattern is really adaptable using different parts you can make at least 7 different toys:
Teddy, flat face
Teddy with muzzle
Dog with floppy ears
Dog with pointed ears
Cat
Rabbit
Mouse
Use your imagination and see what other animals you could make from these parts.

The whole pattern is made using just UK DC / US SC but you will also need to know how to increase, decrease and start off with either a magic circle or chain 2 method - I have not done tutorials as there are so many really good ones online already.

The finished size will depend on your yarn, hook size and personal tension but it should be 5 or 6 inches in height using #3 DK or #4 aran you could even make it from plush yarn or blanket yarn for a much larger toy

This pattern is offered for free please only share a link not the entire pattern
