## Knitting Pattern: Baby Blanket Polar Bear Rug (Mat) Welcome to our delightful knitting pattern for the Baby Blanket Polar Bear Rug! This charming mat measures 26 inches (65 cm) from nose to tail and features a width of 23 inches (58 cm) between the tips of its paws. At its narrowest point, the rug measures 13 inches (32 cm), making it the perfect size for a cozy addition to your child's nursery or playroom. ### Materials Needed To create this adorable polar bear rug, you will need the following knitting supplies: - **Knitting Needles**: Use a pair of US 10 (6mm) knitting needles for the blanket portion. For the toy aspect, you'll need 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. We recommend selecting needles a size or two smaller than the yarn's recommendation for a firmer fabric. For the toy, I used US 6 (4 mm) needles. - **Yarns**: - **Main Yarn**: 300 grams of light beige yarn for both the bear and the rug. We recommend Nako Sport Wool, which features a delightful blend of 25% wool and 75% acrylic (100g = 120m). - **Accent Yarn**: Light blue yarn for the nose and mouth, also using Nako Sport Wool for consistency in texture and quality. - **Additional Supplies**: - Toy stuffing to give your bear its cuddly shape. - A yarn needle for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together. - A stitch holder for managing stitches during the design process. - Black yarn for adding charming eyes to your polar bear. ### Perfect for All Skill Levels This knitting pattern is suitable for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to experts.
