Sammy the Sleepy Teddy Bear

Say hello to Sammy. Sammy is always sleepy because he never wants to settle down and go to bed, he pops on his nightcap and then goes for a midnight wander around the house, just to check that everything is ok.

Sammy’s body is made as one piece from his feet to his shoulders, so there is minimal sewing required to make the body shape. The nightcap is removable and has little holes for his ears to poke through to keep it securely in place.

Some crochet knowledge of basic stitches is required. Step by step photographs are provided throughout the pattern.

Using the materials suggested this teddy measures 24cm (9½in) tall. Any yarn can be used with this pattern with an appropriate size crochet hook to create a tight tension, although other yarns may affect the size of the finished bear. Suggested materials: DK yarn (100% cotton), 2.75mm crochet hook, toy stuffing, small pompom maker, 9mm safety eyes and two small buttons.
