Teddy bear needlepoint patterns

A teddy bear sitting and facing front: the stuffed toy and not the animal, with a large round head and round ears; one holds a little teddy.

It is drawn in several styles. In the whimsical teddy bear and little teddy, a tan bear in a coral bow tie holds a small light blue teddy in its lap, on a checked blanket of blues and cream under a navy night sky with a crescent moon and stars. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and most can be made as a round ornament. It suits a nursery or a first Christmas; if the piece is a gift with a date, allow time for finishing as well as stitching.
