approximately 12-15 stitches

per inch. If you are using

backstitch, make sure you use

very small stitches and pull up

tightly as you go. Cut out the

pattern pieces and stick onto

thin card. With mohair pile

side down, mark the direction

of the pile with an arrow on

the backing. Draw around all

the pattern pieces, aligning

arrows and transferring all

markings such as openings and

joint holes.

nown as Ludo,

from alpaca. A kit

containing all the materials

and instructions that you

need to make Ludo is

available from Oakley

pieces together down centre

fronts all the way around,

leaving the neck edge open.

to hand-sew them first, then

legs right sides out.

needle and re-thread on the

remaining loose ends. Push

the needle back through the

same eye-hole but out 2-3mm

from the looped ends. Tie off

with a right-over-left and

another right-over-left, pull

tight and check that the eye

doesn’t wobble in its socket.

Tie a reef knot to secure

tightly and then lose the

threads in the head. Repeat

with the other eye.

have the correct number

of pieces and that they

have been reversed as

necessary before you cut them

out! Draw around paw and

sole pieces on ultrasuede and

cut out. Trim pile off seam

allowances. This means you

stitch backing to backing,

giving a more professional

finish. Pin or tack pieces with

right sides together unless

otherwise specified. Pick out

any trapped fur on the insides

after stitching before turning

right side out, then repeat on

the right side.

6 Stuff the head very

firmly, particularly the

snout area - it makes it

so much easier when

embroidering the nose. Insert

the cotter pin joint in the

opening. Gather around the

neck opening with a strong

doubled thread and pull up

the stitches tightly so that

only the cotter pin is

protruding, then tie off

securely. Place glass-headed

pins where you want to

position the eyes. Adjust so

that they look symmetrical.

Remove pin, make a small hole

with the point of the scissors

(do not snip) and trim fur

away from the hole area. Take

a long piece of strong thread,

double it and then tie the wire

loop on the eye in the middle.

4 Gather neck edge and tie

off securely. Check that

you’ve marked the joint

positions and then turn the

body right side out. Stitch

paws to inner arms. Sew the

inner arm to the outer arm,

leaving an opening where

marked. Check the joint

markings on the inner arm,

then turn right side out.

Repeat with the other arm.

8 Pin the ears to the head,

then sew in place up and

down both sides of the

ear using ladder stitch. This is

the most secure way of

attaching the ears. Bears don’t

have handles so they

sometimes get picked up by

the ear - ouch! Taking about a

metre of perle cotton, thread

onto long needle and

embroider nose and mouth.

Try outlining the nose with a

few horizontal stitches, then

use two or three layers of

vertical stitches over the top,

adding the mouth at the

centre.

3 Sew nose to chin seam

5 Stitch the legs together

twice. Stitch in head

gusset, matching A at

the nose and B at the back of

the neck. It is important that

this gusset is stitched in

evenly otherwise Ludo could

end up with an uneven nose!

Turn head right side out.

Stitch ears together in pairs

and turn right side out.

Oversew raw edges together.

Sew front body pieces

in pairs from the heel

around to the toe,

leaving the foot open and an

opening where marked,

making sure there is a joint

hole on one side of each pair,

only giving you a right and a

left leg. Ludo is a good dancer

and does not have two left

legs! Stitch the foot pads in

place evenly. The easiest way is

7 Using the long needle,

thread the loop and push

the needle into the eye-

hole and out under the

opposite chin. Remove the

9 Insert cotter pin from

head into gathered neck

area of the body, add

another hardboard disc and

metal washer, then finish joint

off by curling the ends of the

cotter pin with a cotter key or

needle-nosed pliers. Insert the

cotter pin joint into each limb

where marked (again checking

that you have one right and

one left arm, one right and

one left leg!). Stuff limbs

firmly, making sure there is

plenty of filling around the

top of the legs and arms over

the joint. It helps to keep the

joints firm. Ladder stitch the

openings together, securing

the ends by adding 5-6 very

small backstitches and losing

the thread through the limb.

10 Check hole

placements on the

body (particularly

for the arms) as they may

need lowering down a bit if

you have used a different

sized joint or taken in mohair

where you have gathered at

the neck. Attach limbs to the

body in the same way as the

head. Stuff body firmly,

particularly around the upper

chest and joint areas - this

stops Ludo from sagging

prematurely. Add a growler if

you like. Close the opening

with ladder stitch as

before, then enjoy your

finished creation!
