I used a scrappy ball of DK yarn and a 3.5mm hook

            Do Not cut off the yarn ~

③       Continue across first leg then second leg to join the body

            Continue on these 16sts until a further 6cm have been worked

④       Add on a further 8sts at each side to make the arms (by making a chain at each side)

            Continue on these 32sts until a further 4cm have been worked

⑤       Work 24sts, turn,

Join the Teddy all around (right sides together) using a length of yarn and a sewing needle, leaving a gap to use for stuffing

Turn right side out

Add features to the face using a length of dark coloured yarn
