Free Pattern for Folk Art Mohair Teddy Bear
FINALLY! Can you believe it! I typed up the pattern directions and scanned in the template for you to use! These little bears are really super easy and fun to make. Mohair can be really super expensive, so if you want to make them, but don't want to use mohair, use wool felt (the good stuff... it's worth it.) fleece, or calico cottons... even gingham would be adorable! I jokingly call these little guys really expensive dog toys... because that is what they remind me of... but seriously tho... they just add the perfect touch of whimsy to a shelf! If you make one, take a picture and add it to my Crafty Carnival tutorials Flickr group!
The pattern directions are here Download folk_art_teddy_bear.pdf
and the template is here Download folkartbeartemplate.pdf
Have fun!
I'll have to try this, thank you for sharing it

I saw you in the Parent's magazine and thought I'd check your blog out.Very cool, especially when I saw the pattern for the silly doll! I can't wait to make a Silly for my "Silly Millie" She loves the stuff I make her and I know she'll love this doll! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern! I can't wait for her to wake up from her nap so we can run to JoAnns!Thanks again!

HI! I stumbled on your teddy bear blog. I am going to try to make a teddy bear very soon and am doing research on patterns. Your pattern is very basic, but cute. The kind a small child can hold. Did you find different materials worked better than others?
