Hi. My name is Tetiana Skalozub. I am a professional toy and teddy bear designer.
I constructed this pattern specially for beginners and parents who want to make a gift for their kids.
I show the whole process of toy creating in video tutorial step-by-step not missing any detail. So to start the sewing you just have to know how to make "ladder stitch" and "back stitch". All the rest is shown in video and described in PDF pattern instructions.
As the result you will get the toy of 8 cm. You can enlarge the pattern if you need the toy to be bigger.
