Trauma Teddies are knitted and then donated to the Red Cross who distribute them to the emergency services. They can be knitted in any colours, I like to use bright colours but you can use pastels or any other combination. Football club colours are good to use too.
Trauma Teddies are made in 8 ply wool (no angora) and need to be filled with Hobby Fill, not old stockings, cut up rags or bean bag filling. Also for safety reasons no buttons, plastic eyes, plastic noses or beads.
The eyes, nose and mouth need to be embroidered on with wool.
