• sts = stitches

Instructions

Front

Make a 16 ch.

htr in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch to end = 14 htr, 2ch turn.

Continue until work measures 3 1/2 inches, break yarn.

Arms

Ch 9 and htr across the body of bear.

ch 11 at the end of the row.

Continue until arms measure 1 inch, break yarn.

Neck

Rejoin yarn to 11th htr, 2ch (counts as 1st st), and work 11 htr for neck, 2ch turn.

Head

Inc in 1st and last st = 14 sts. Continue until head measures 2 1/2 inches from the beginning of the neck.

So there you have it, one side of your Ted is done. Now you can just continue down the back of your puppet reversing shapings or break your yarn and make another piece exactly the same.

Make your bear's features before you sew the two sides together; it's much easier that way.
To make the ears, just back stitch across the two corners of the head.
