Otto
Seamless toy polar bear
£6.00
- Lace weight yarn
- Also available on Ravelry
A cute baby polar bear toy knit without seams on double pointed needles.
Otto was designed to be round and cuddly but still easy for little hands to grasp. He knits up quickly and the size can be varied by changing the weight of yarn used. Otto would make a wonderful gift for any kid, or adult.
