Diddy the Teddy Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern
Created by ©BeejuiCreations 2018-2022
Diddy the Teddy Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern. My inspiration for this pattern was a request for table place settings/favours for babies that were attending a wedding. These were made to match the wedding colours with their names embroidered on, but these can be made in any colour with or without the name.

- Aran yarn in Light Grey (main body colour) approx. 100g
- Aran yarn in Plum (or whichever contrasting colour you like) approx. 100g
- Soft toy filling
- Darning needle to sew it all together
Stitches / Abbreviations: (US Crochet Terms)
- MR – Magic Ring
- SC – Single Crochet
