Meet Larry the polar bear, a stylish young bear with a passion for knitted clothes! This pattern is amazing for intermediate crocheters, or beginners looking for a challenge. The bear is crocheted using a 1.7mm hook, while the clothes are knitted with a pair of 3mm needles. All of the knitting is done using two needles, so you don’t need to work in round and all of the stirches are extremely basic, making them easy to knit for anyone, even if you haven’t knitted anything before.
Larry is the first in a series of animals that are all made using the same body type, which means that they are all interchangeable and you can swap them around if you wish. If you’d already made one of these animals and you just want the clothes that come in this pattern, I published them for free on ribblr, so you don’t have to purchase this pattern just to get the pieces of clothing.
