Use white athletic socks. For body (Sock No. 1) follow basic instructions on page 7, but make legs about 4 long.

FORELEGS: See instructions for elephant on page 7.

NOSE: Cut toe from sock, turn inside out and sew into a point (Figure 1). Turn and stuff. Sew to the front of the head, pulling it into shape. (Polar bears have longer snouts than other types of bears.)

TAIL: Roll a 1 square of sock into a tiny tail and sew to body.

EARS: Cut two ears from sock, and two from pink felt, petal-shaped (Figure 2). Sew sock and felt pieces together leaving an opening for turning. Turn right side out and stitch to head, about 2 apart. Pleat the felt side (facing front of head) as you stitch.

FEATURES: Embroider a solid V-shaped nose with black yarn, using three stitches for upper lip and mouth (Figure 3). For eyes, use small white buttons sewn over brown discs.

TRIM: Fasten a narrow strip of felt around neck, decorate with beads and attach a chain or cord. Or, use black leatherette to make a harness (Figure 4).
