In the dead of the Arctic night a sleepy polar bear is meandering through the icy stillness, his black footpads showing up starkly against the snow. Knitted in the fittingly named Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake this bear is taking extra precautions against the wind with a fetching scarf and matching earmuffs.

When finished he’ll measure 8” tall and 14” wide.
