Polar Bear Patterns
Polar Bear Patterns is my line of original knitting patterns (some are VERY original, heh heh - the Felted Dog Bones come to mind!).
I started writing patterns in order to have something to teach from, and found that I really enjoyed the process. Currently I have 20-some patterns that cover everything from felted snowmen to moebius rings (and mine has an easier cast-on than Cat Bordhi’s!) to socks, hats and wraps.
One of the things I have been rigorous about in developing my patterns is that I have kept them non-yarn-specific: in other words, I don’t specify a brand of yarn to use. Instead, I give yarn types & quantities: partly so you can use anything you have that is suitable, but also to encourage you to be creative in your project choices. I get the heebie-jeebies when I see someone knitting something exactly the way it looks in the picture…
Someday, PBP will come to live here on my blog site. But for now, please visit
where you can browse all my patterns. If you find something you can’t live without, some of the patterns are available live-and-in-person at Farmhouse Knit Shop and The Knitting Bee, and I’d love for you to patronize the LYS’s if you can. If you can’t, you can also order online at the pattern site.
corrections for all Polar Bear Patterns are listed here.
Happy Knitting!
