USES FOR TEDDY BEAR APPLIQUE

This applique is a really fun little item to make. You can use it to adorn lots of different projects such as hats, sweaters, cardigans and baby blankets.

I sewed my applique onto the Little Logan Romper (pictured above and below). I think you’ll agree that it makes this crochet baby outfit even cuter!

YARN USED

I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 to make my bear applique.

Although advertised as a #1 superfine yarn, I consider it to be more of a #2 sport / 4 ply yarn.

This 100% cotton yarn is so soft to work with and has great stitch definition. There’s also no splitting so it’s really easy to work with.

To embroider the nose and eyes, I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8, which is a thicker yarn and is more akin to a #4 worsted / aran weight yarn.

Round 1. Ch2 (counts as your 1st dc here and throughout), 11dc in the circle, sl st to top of beg ch2 to join [12 sts].

FINISHING
  1. With colour C, embroider the nose onto the snout.
  2. Sew the snout to the bottom centre of the head, just above the round of sl sts.
  3. Using colour C, embroider the eyes just above the snout, on either side of the nose (make sure that they are tightly secured at the back of the head so they cannot be pulled out from the front).
