Teddy bear
Brown knitted teddy bear. Torso and head made together with seam at neck, constructed of 4 pieces for the torso (seams at front, back and sides) and 3 pieces for the head with seams at CF up to nose, and 2 seams up from nose, and over the head, in line with the ears. All four limbs, as well as ears, made and stuffed separately before joining onto body/head. The ears are not as tightly stuffed as the rest of the teddy. Inner paws and soles of feet knitted from a darker, reddy brown coloured yarn. Facial features, and claws on paws embroidered with reddy coloured thread. Brown plastic buttons with metal centres used as eyes. The knitting pattern used is seed stitch which alternates knit and purl stitches in both rows. The teddy is wearing a green synthetic ribbon wound twice around his neck and fastened with a double-knot.
