Sledging Polar Bears
All parts of this charming knitting pattern are created flat, ensuring an easy and enjoyable experience for every knitter. There’s no need for circular knitting, making it perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike. The adorable jumpers are permanently sewn onto the bodies of the plush figures, adding a delightful touch. Please note that the baby bear is designed without separate legs, enhancing its cuddly nature. The sledge, crafted from sturdy card, is a playful accessory to complete this adorable scene. While the mummy bear doesn’t stand independently, she can maintain her balance while holding onto the sledge string, creating an engaging display for your little ones.
