In Need Of A Teddy Bear Pattern
 

I'm looking for a teddy bear pattern for an 8-10" bear that does not require joint mechanisms (such as cotter pins and discs). I've looked into some patterns, but after three days of searching the web, I just keep finding patterns for larger bears or for bears that are jointed, so they're sewn differently. Are there any patterns you recommend?

How dimensional do you want it? This simple pattern could be downsized:

This one could also be printed out and then copied so it is smaller:

This is a more complicated pattern:

Got all of the above (and there are more) from this website:

Quilt in a day has a nice pattern for a teddy in her Christmas at Bear's Paw Ranch Book I have that book and there are a lot of nice things in it to make.

simplicity has one that's just 2 pieces it's #9524

I've made one similar to the one above linked to Bev...it works up quickly and the good thing is they are a safe toy for the very youngest. No eyes or embroidered eyes and nose...perfect!

Thanks to all of you being so very helpful! I wasn't looking for a pattern, but saved the sites.
I make quilts for families in need or homeless. So now I could make some teddies that go with it too.

Thank you,

I have a couple of these patterns and they are so easy to make just 2 pattern pieces and they make adorable bears http://carolszoo.com/store.html

I was trying to send a pic of what we call Me Dolls....only uses two cutouts sewn together except for a small area where you can stuff it...very popular with hospitals. I have the cardboard pattern if you want this one.

Me dolls....
 

Finally a pic....not teddy bears but an doll in reference to one asking for bears pattern which is easy/quick to make

Oh, I like the little tab on the doll pattern; makes closing up the stuffing hole so much easier because of the extra tuck-in!
