Today is Day 5 of the Mini Amigurumi Advent, and the project for today is a tiny stuffed Teddy Bear, a classic toy that Santa may have in his bag to bring to little girls and boys on Christmas Eve.
I made this tiny teddy to be in a sitting position with short little legs permanently sticking out in front. Sitting he is about 4" tall. The body and head are made in one pieces with the arms, legs, muzzle, and ears sewn on separately. I used safety eyes and a safety nose for the face, but those could be embroidered on as an alternative.
I tied a little bow around his neck with a piece of yarn as a finishing touch, you could use a ribbon instead, add a little scarf like the snowman, or just leave it plain.
