This pattern is available for free. August #freebeefridayknits - can you feel the chill!? Yes, an ice cold bear - a Polar ‘Spirit’ Bear - And I know that at time of writing some of you are probably witnessing extreme high heat… but also some of you are being thrown into the depths of Winter - so this bear is for both - cold - to cool you down; furry and warm - to warm you up… (like I really went through all this reasoning when I designed this furry chap!) He’s knitted in one piece - you just add the ears at the end, in beautiful faux fur yarn - feeling is believing - and if you can be brave (fur yarn is not the easiest to knit with) I’d suggest you do use this yarn - I bought mine from Woolwarehouse and I believe it’s widely available - for maximum effect… it’s divinely soft. As you may already know I do offer up a free pattern once ever other month - details are given in my Instagram account @dotpebbles_knits dotpebbles Or you can subscribe to my newsletter so that you never miss a freebee! Thanks for reading, download and happy knitting!
