Step into a world of elegance and nostalgia with the “Vintage High Tea” Teddy Bear. This sophisticated amigurumi character is designed for those who love the finer things in life—antique lace, warm Earl Grey, and the company of a good friend. The centerpiece of this pattern is a classic Chocolate Brown Teddy Bear, featuring a sweet, embroidered expression and deep, soulful eyes.

She is dressed to impress for her afternoon engagement in a stunning Victorian-inspired ensemble. Her dress is a lovely Dusty Rose color, featuring a modest high-neck collar and intricate ruffle details across the chest and cuffs. On her feet, she wears shiny black Mary Jane flats. To shield her from the afternoon breeze, she dons a cream-colored beret adorned with delicate faux pearls. No tea party is complete without accessories; she carries a structured dark brown satchel with a tiny macaron charm and holds a miniature teacup and saucer, ready for her first sip.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
