Free Pattern! TED!

Free pattern time again! Yay! I give you... Ted!

Is he a bear? Is he a bunny? Is he a dog?! He's whatever you want him to be!!

Ted is a replica of my favourite childhood toy Ted. I was given Ted by my Nan and Grandad the day after I was born, and he has been with me everywhere. I loves Ted! My Ted's fur has fallen off over the years I've had him, so he wears clothes lol! Here he is with my version.


I'm putting this pattern up for free instead of in my Etsy shop because I wouldn't feel comfy making money from his pattern. I think everyone should have a Ted, so that's why he's on here!

This pattern hasn't been tested (apart from by me) so if you find any problems please let me know :)

I hope you love Ted!


Ted

You Will Need:
. Crochet Hook (I used 3.25mm, D)
. Double Knit/ Light WW yarn In Beige
. 12mm Safety Eyes
. Stitch Markers Or Piece Of Scrap Yarn
. Yarn/Embroidery Needle
. Poly-fil Or Other Stuffing
. Curved Needle (Optional)
. Heart Button

Abbreviations
. Ch - Chain Stitch
. Sc - Single Crochet
. St/Sts - Stitch/Stitches
. Slst - Slip Stitch
. Inc (Increase) - 2 Sc into 1 St
. Dec (Decrease) - 1 Sc over 2 Sts
. ** - Marks a group of stitches to be repeated until the round is completed

Gauge
. No gauge, just keep your stitches nice and tight to avoid gaps in your work

Finished Size
. 21cm’s (approx.) using a 3.25mm (D) hook and Double Knit yarn

Other Info
. As this is amigurumi, work in a continuous spiral. Don’t join at the end of a row; just keep going
. Use stitch markers or a piece of scrap yarn to mark the start of every round. Replace at the start of the next round as you go along. This will help you keep track of where you started, and saves a lot of time if things go wrong!
. Although I am English, I write my patterns in American terms, so Sc means Single Crochet; Dc means Double Crochet ect.
. The number at the end of each round is the number of stitches you should now have
. Although I have used certain colours for this ami Please feel free to use which ever colours you like!
. Using a thicker yarn than DK/bigger hook than 3.25mm (D) will result in the toy being a considerably different size to that shown.
