Introduction: Crochet Teddy Amigurumi
Little Teddy Bear is the perfect friend for your child, sweet and charming. This bear is approximately 6-8 inches tall in a sitting position depending what on yarn weight and hook size.
My friend had asked me to make for a cute little boy and girl teddy bear. I have used the pattern on ravelry and adjusted the hook size.

All the parts of teddy bear are worked parts and then they are sewn together.

28) 1sc in each st for 1 row
29) 1sc in next 5st then sc2tog (36)

You can use the color change of yarn as you like. I added white yarn in the body.
30) 1sc in next 4st then sc2tog (30)
31) 1sc in next 3st then sc2tog (24)
32) 1sc in next 2st then sc2tog (18) *stuff and shape body. By this time you can start stuffing the body.
33) 1sc then sc2tog (12)
