Notes

Do many polar bears play for Tottenham Hotspur? This one might. A present for baby Donnacha, so a D on the back.
The yarn is a glitter white I bought in Aldi at some point. It sat in the stash for ages but works well for polar bears cos it sparkles like frost!

For the legs, because I was doing socks, I picked up 5 st each side and cast on 6 instead of 4 in the middle, with needle size 2.5. I knit 8 rows navy st.st., 2 rows wite, k2 rows navy. This gives the ridge at the top of the sock. I also added an extra 2 rows to the leg, ie cast off on row 21. Hopefully this will allow some of the football sock to be seen.
