Other Pattern Info:
- The polar bear is constructed from separate pieces worked in flat rows and then joined together, following the style of Ragdoll patterns.
- Finished Size: Approximately 35cm/14″ from top to bottom.
- The pattern includes details for making a foreleg, body panels, tail, ear, hat, and scarf. The body panels feature a small amount of color work for the nose.
- When changing colours, the method involves inserting the hook into the last stitch of color ‘A’, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over with color ‘B’ to finish the stitch with ‘B’, then proceeding with ‘B’ as required. Always drop the yarn to the back/wrong side of the work.
