Learn to knit your own Arctic explorer Bjorn the polar bear & his best friends Polo the penguin & Fin the little fish with backpack & accessories with this PDF pattern & tutorial.

Hello, my name is Bjorn & these are my best friends Polo & Fin. I’m an adventure loving bear; I love free diving, building snow bears, making cloudberry flavoured popsicles, shopping for the latest fashions in cosy knitwear & watching the Northern Lights from the top of my favourite ice berg with my best friend Polo.

Polo makes the fastest ice slides in the whole world & can swim like a torpedo. Our favourite underwater games are pop-the-bubble, which our little friend Fin usually wins, & spot the narwhal, we never get tired of watching those incredible ‘unicorns of the sea’ swimming gracefully around. We all love to explore the icy blue oceans of our snow covered home & wander around the ice looking for a suitable slope to create a fur & feather raising ride which will end with a big splash into the sea. When Polo & Fin get tired I’m very happy to let them ride in my backpack (as long as Fin’s pocket is full of water of course!). We are soft & squishy friends who all enjoy a cuddle to start & finish every day :)
