What you need to know

Meet Mrs Paws! This delightful teddy is full of both seasonal cheer and charming details, from her little pinny to sweet collar.

She mostly uses simple double crochet stitches, with traditional shaping methods, while the pinny uses half treble stitches. Make sure you stuff your bear when the pattern tells you to as it will be really tricky later on. Head to your local yarn shop to buy all your supplies!

Top Crochet Tips

Crochet Clever Tip!
MAGIC RING - this is a useful technique which means you can completely close the hole at the start of your work. Here’s how you do it. Make a loop of yarn with the tail hanging down and the working yarn overlapping in front. Holding the loop in place, insert your crochet hook through the centre of the loop and pull the working yarn through this loop. Make 1ch as normal, then work into the loop as instructed in your Foundation round, making sure you work over top of tail for the first few stitches. When your first round is complete, you can pull the yarn tail to close the centre hole
