A few months ago I published Polar Pete as a mystery knit along. He turned out to be a huge hit, so I thought he deserved a friend to spend his time with. I believe Miss Patty Polar Bear is just the girl for him.

Life in the Arctic can sometimes be quite lonely. Luckily for Patty she’s found a friend for life in her little adopted seal pup, with who she spends many days strolling around the snowy landscapes and building snow men.

This pattern is ideal for intermediate toy makes as it requires some sewing. The stitches used in this pattern are k2tog, p2tog, kfb, pfb, make bobble (instructions included), sl1, psso.
