GAUGE:
14 sc + 16 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
NOTES:
Work in continuous rnds; do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed.

Polar Bear Reviewed by Kaitlyn Milliken on 2011-12-21
I made this for my little brother for Christmas. It was really easy to make. It took me 1-2 days to finish it. I made a little bow to go along with it. Though I didn't do the little black stuff that goes on the paws. Over all, it is very easy and cute.
