CONSTRUCTION
The Teddy Jacket is constructed by crocheting one large square back panel, working from the bottom up. We will then crochet the two front panels directly into the back. Both sleeves are worked from the bottom up and later seamed to the body of the jacket. Next we will seam along the sides of the jacket before we begin crocheting the collar separately and seaming to the neckline of the jacket.
Lastly we will make two simple pockets and attach to the body of the jacket.
The jacket can be easily customized to be longer or shorter by simply making more or less rows.
YARN
Our crochet Teddy Jacket uses Sirdar Touch, a super bulky faux fur yarn made from a mix of nylon and polyester. Since crocheting this jacket this yarn has sadly been discontinued but other good substitutes include Sirdar Alpine or Knit Picks Fable Fur.
Of course you can also make this jacket using just regular yarn if the Teddy style is not up your street. Just make sure you match gauge listed in the pattern.

Whip stitch along the sides of the jacket making sure to leave holes for the arms.
Turn jacket right side out.
Whip stitch the collar to the neckline. Use interlocking stitch markers to hold the collar in place while you stitch to together.
Next stitch pockets to your jacket. I stitched all the way around the pocket leaving one side open. You can leave the top open like a regular pocket if you prefer.
Weave in all your ends.
Thank you for sharing the adorable TEDDY and, of course, all your patterns.
You are very generous 🙂
This looks so cosy. Must get some yarn to try it in the new year. Thankyou. I love your patterns as it’s not very often you get patterns in plus sizes. Thank you 😊
I keep getting these great free patterns and have requested in the past for just the pattern alone to download but no response. How can I get the pattern to print?
