How do I make a teddy bear?

[CAPTAIN Plixy[Stix]]

I've always wanted to make a teddy bear for myself or even for my cousin's soon to come baby. (She is pregnant right now)

Anyone know how to make a bear or a stuffed animal?

Any particular style you like? There are a number of good books available through interlibrary loan, if you let me know what type you prefer I can try and find a book you'd like.

I believe www.knitty.com has a simple free one, if it's one you like.

Well... I don't really have a style I'm looking for. I'm just open to anything! As long as it's child/infant friendly!

sewn or knitted?

sewn or knitted?

Sewn because the only thing I can knit is a scarf. XD
