Lion Brand® Lion® Chenille

GAUGE:

15 sc = 4", working back and forth in rows. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

To inc Work 2 sc in one sc.
To dec Draw up lp in each of 2 sc, yo and draw through all 3 lps on hook.

Rnds 5-11 Continue to inc 6 sc on each rnd, having 1 more sc between inc on each rnd (66 sc on Rnd 11). Please note: this is a fairly standard form to tell how to make the increases. It sets up the first few rounds, then tells you to continue increasing in the same way, adding that this means there will be one additional stitch between increases in each round:
Rnds 12-16 Sc in each sc.

Back: Rnd 17 *Sc in next 9 sc, dec 1; repeat from * around (60 sc). Rnd 18: *Sc in ext 8 sc, dec 1; repeat (6 dec made-54 sc).

FINISHING:
(Note: For sewing, use only short lengths of chenille to prevent frayed yarn.) Sew muzzle to lower front of head as shown in photograph. Sew base of ears to top of head, cupping ears slightly. Sew eyes to head. For nose, embroider inverted triangle with satin stitches. Embroider mouth with straight stitches. Sew head securely to body. Stuff arms and legs; sew to bear as shown so bear is balanced in sitting position. Tie ribbon bow around neck.

Teddy Bear Reviewed by Lauren on 2009-07-22 ****
I had a hard time with the size of the crochet needle and the yarn, it was hard to see the what you did, but i guess that makes it more forgiving! it did take me awhile to do because i had to keep starting over on some pieces because i would lose track of how many stitches there were in the round because it was hard to see. i also found it hard to see which stitches i had to work with and which ones i didnt. but it was a great pattern and result despite that...Thanks lionbrand!!
