PATTERN IN BOTH ENGLISH AND NORWEGIAN

// ENGLISH
#ibothepolarbear is knitted on a long circular needle size 3 mm (US 3, UK 11). You begin by forming the body before picking up sts for the ears, arms, and legs. The pattern is therefore a nice pattern for both beginners and advanced knitters.

The gauge varies based on which yarn you decide to knit with. The original yarn used for the pattern is Double Sunady from Sandnes Garn (Light worsted), but you can easily choose other yarn qualities. Be aware that if you choose yarn with another gauge that the gauge may vary in the length. Also, be aware that the amount of yarn needed for the pattern can vary according to which yarn quality you knit with. Choose from yarn you have at home!

This pattern is based on the technique Magic Loop. I recommend using this technique. If you are unsure of how to knit in Magic Loop, there are many videos on YouTube you can watch to learn.

Yarn:
About 35 gr Double Sunday from Sandnes Garn

Equipment needed:
Long circular needle size 3 mm (US 3, UK 11)
Thin black yarn or embroidery thread
Some scrap yarn or other stuffing to fill the bear with

Strikkefastheten variere ut ifra hvilket garn du velger å strikke med.

Strikker du med air eller kos kan du oppleve at strikkefastheten blir noe annerledes i høyden. Merk også at antall gram man trenger kan variere noe ut ifra hvilken garnkvalitet du strikker med.
