About

This teddy can be crocheted in just a few hours (less if you are fast), and he is just the perfect size for cuddles with Kelly!

The ball, which is actually teddy's body, can easily be crocheted in just a few minutes, and would be so much fun to make in a rainbow of colours.

Kelly just loves snuggling with her teddy bear, and playing with her ball!

Size with cotton thread #10 and 1.05mm hook:
Teddy is about 4.5 cm (1.75") tall, and the ball is about 1.25 cm (0.5") in diameter.
