Knitting a Valentine Polar Bear

Knitting A Valentine Polar Bear

Recently, my granddaughter told me that she had told her teacher that I was going to knit her teacher a bear for her Valentines  Day present. Yikes! What a shocker for me since I already had other projects that I was working on. Everything was then put on hold and the search began for a bear pattern. I had the book by Susan B. Anderson called "Itty Bitty Toys" but, I noticed that the bear was too small for what I wanted. The search was on for a new pattern. I really like Susan B. Anderson's toy designs and found her Polar Bear Pattern called "The Three Brrr Bears." Since it was still chilly outside, I decided to make a red scarf to keep the bear. This was a fun bear to make and as always I was able to learn new knitting techniques.
