Handmade crochet gold teddy bear

A seriously cute little chappie! I am really pleased with this teddy - when I saw the gold biscuity coloured yarn I thought it would make a perfect teddy bear. It's a traditional colour and being an acrylic / wool mix, it is lovely and soft. I enjoy making toys - all the counting in rounds is a bit tricky sometimes but I always have a pen and paper to hand to mark off the rounds as I go. Teddys features are all made from felt or embroidery, sewn securely in place so are safe for children of all ages. For me, the stuffing of toys is always the most difficult - when is 'enough'? I wanted a soft 'huggable finish so didn't stuff too firmly. Available in my Etsy shop now!
