Teddies for Tragedies
Knitting Project
Teddies for Tragedies began in 1986 in Somerset, “Superted”, a washable knitted teddy, was added to a consignment of medicines going to a refugee camp in Sudan. The doctor replied “ For some children, these teddies do more good than medicines, giving them hope”. The teddy knitting began, and a bag was added, increasing the play value. In 1991, when the pattern came to Guildford, Surrey, “Teddies for Tragedies” began. Now there are a number of branches around the country.
We are now looking to support the scheme and our Teddies will be used by Alder Hey doctors when operating abroad.
Please click on the following links to view the knitting and crochet patterns - we request that no white teddies are knitted.
