This pattern was just a vision in my head for a few months so I am very excited to share the final version.

The Polar Bear is 17 inches/ 43 cm tall and has quite a rotund belly, making him perfect for hugs.
His fairisle jumper is removable so you could knit it in different colours for different seasons.

The pattern would be most suited to an intermediate knitter - there is stranded colourwork and short-row shaping - but it would make a good project for someone looking to try out new techniques.
