Description
Polar Bear Santas, made of two-color stranded colorwork and finished with embroidery, ring this hat. Each polar bear wears its own Santa hat with ribbing to match. A single large pop pom is shared by each bear and the hat wearer. Wearing this hat brings attention to these threatened animals with a holiday twist.

Gauge
Achieving gauge on colorwork can be a little more complicated
because the tension on the floats plays a vital role in determining
gauge. Your needle size should be based on the size you need to
achieve the gauge. Take the time to swatch, as this is a more fitted
hat and it may not fit if you do not achieve gauge. A =5.5 stitches/
inch B =5 stitches/ inch C =4.5 stitches/inch.
