Percy the Polar Bear
by Alan Dart
This pattern is
available from alandart.co.uk
for £3.50.
Note: Simply Knitting version is only the Polar Bear; Alan Dart website version is Polar Bear, Seal, and Penguin
Now you can make your very own chilly Polar Bear, wrapped up in a festive jacket that wouldn’t look out of place hanging in Father Christmas’s wardrobe.
This little fellow is a great place to start if you’re new to knitting toys. The design is worked in easy garter and stocking stitch, in only four different colours, and there aren’t too many pieces to keep track of.
Though poles apart they’re friends at heart
