Tutorial: how to make an amigurumi bear

The first tutorial is the cutest out of them all and is primarily for children. It’s two teddy bears that are made using the amigurumi technique. So soft wearing a stripy scarf, they’re the ideal cuddling companions. What’s more, they’re really easy to make! The yarns, Piuma, a 100% wool and Cyrcus, an Alpaca mix have been used to make them.
