This pattern also includes detailed instructions for creating a cozy hat and stylish beret for your snowman, adding even more character to your knitted creations.

Materials Needed:

• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. It is recommended to use needles a size or two smaller than the yarn suggests, to produce a firm and durable fabric. For this pattern, size 5 (3.5 mm) or size 6 (4 mm) needles work well.
• White yarn for the polar bear body. You can use Ecolana Boucle by Alize, which is made of 88% wool and 12% nylon, with a length of 114 meters (50 grams), or Kartopu "Flora," a 100% acrylic yarn with 230 meters (100 grams). Both yarns are perfect for creating a plush, two-ply texture.
• Red yarn for the hat and scarf. Mohair Spiry by Ice Yarns is a bulky yarn (12 ply) that is composed of 75% acrylic and 25% mohair, offering a soft and warm finish with 135 meters (100 grams).
• Additional red yarn is needed for the nose and eyebrows to give your polar bear a lovely, cheerful expression.
• Plastic eyes or 2 pins for added character and charm.
• A stitch holder to keep your stitches secure while working on various parts of your knitted bear.
