About this pattern
Ginger is a teddy bear in gingerbread brown, with a cream muzzle, white buttons and a red bow tie. After assembly you embroider white zigzag "icing" lines on the arms and legs, so he looks like a cookie fresh from the oven. 9 parts and 76 rounds, about 5.25 in (13 cm) tall.
A handmade holiday gift that kids love, and at about 5.25 in (13 cm) tall it is small enough to make a few before Christmas.
