Crochet Applique Teddy Bear / Teddy Bear Rakhi

Hi,
As I said in my last post, I made this another Rakhi for kids and no need to say that it is Teddy Bear Rakhi. Every one knows and specially kids love this Teddy. In fig 1, it is written Rakhi type 10 because since last year till date I made 9 crochet rakhi and this is 10th. Many of them which are simple I have not posted on my blog, but if any body wants to see all of them, he/she can start the video below and in the description box of that you can find web address of all 10 rakhi, I made.
