Leggy Teddy

Free version of this pattern (without photo references) is viewable on my blog: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2024/06/leggy-teddy.html

The Leggy Teddy is an adorable no-sew bear pattern that works up quickly and easily. This portable, pocket-sized friend is 5.5 inches tall and perfect for children to take on the go. This mini amigurumi is designed with super bulky velvet chenille yarn, but can be made using medium weight 4 or DK yarn to create a smaller, keychain version. It’s a gender neutral and unisex toy that can be gifted to boys and girls, and make great presents for kids birthdays, Christmas holiday, as party favors, or as craft fair products. They can also be “worry dolls” to ease nerves and anxiety. Make them for children with autism, sensory needs, or other special needs to calm down and self-regulate by holding onto it and practicing breathing. The PDF pattern includes progress photos to help guide you through the doll making process.
