IMPORTANTUse only the Robin yarn specified. We cannot accept responsibility for an imperfect project if any other brand is used. It is essential to work to the tension stated. The quantities of yarn stated are based on average requirements and are therefore approximate.

ABBREVIATIONSK - Knit; P - Purl; st(s) - stitch(es); st st - stocking stitch (1 row knit, 1 row purl); beg - beginning; rept - repeat; inc - increase; dec - decrease; rem - remain(ing); cm - centimetres; ins - inches; tog - together; ws - wrong side; rs - right side; sl - slip; rev st st - reverse stocking stitch.

TENSIONIt is important to check your tension before commencing the Teddy. 12 sts and 20 rows to 10cm, 4ins over rev st st on 5½mm needles. If there are too many stitches to 10cm, then your tension is tight and you will need to change your needle to a larger size. If there are too few stitches to 10cm, then your tension is loose and you will need to change your needle to a smaller size.
