Pocket Polar Bear is full for fun. He especially loves to slide. He had me take him to the store and buy him a snow sled and Polar and a friend played forever! He is small enough to fit in an Altoid tin but packed with thrills.

Check out him and his friend on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8jfIdm_nOg

He is knit in the round and is a completely seamless toy with detachable hat and scarf. Polar Bear makes a great go anywhere toy that fits in a pocket and he only takes a little yarn. He’s a great stash buster. OR make him to match some other item you are giving as a gift. He can be knit using sport or DK weight yarn.

Sled, Altoid tin, miniature bear and book are purchased items.
