So, I’ve seen these yoke sweaters with paw prints pop up in my feeds every now and then and I wanted to make one for my BF. I was looking at the pattern, and just before I hit the buy-button I realized something important: The paw prints were of a dog!!! Or wolf or whatever creatures there is, but
they were NOT Bear PAWS!
Sacrilegious!
Ther were no bear paw sweaters!!! I had to make my own! Luckily, we had visited the Ranua Zoo not long ago and I had seen bear paw prints there and I realized my mistake!
So… what’s a girl to do? DIY of course!
And here it is! The Ursa Minor sweater
