Meet Paddy the Polar Bear! Paddy loves the cold weather! The thing he loves about it most of all
is that he gets to wear his favorite scarf. And who wouldn’t love wearing such a nice scarf?

(See pic. #2.) This is called a foundation

chain and is a great way to start a piece that
you want to be more oval than round. After
crocheting through the top loops of the
chain, you turn your work around and
crochet in the bottom loops of the chain.
The first round is complete! Now you just
continue as you normally would.

This is how long I made my scarf, but you

can make yours as long or short as you like!
You can also make it wider or shorter than 4
sts. Once you’re done, finish off and add
fringe to the bottom of each edge of the
scarf. I added one piece of fringe for each
stitch. (See pics. #12, 13, & 14.) Trim fringe
to desired length.

Embroider the lines you see illustrated in red
first. This will create a nice triangle. Now
embroider the lines you see illustrated in
black. Once you finish filling in the triangle,
you may want to go over the sides and top
again (that is the parts in red) with your yarn
and needle to ensure no white is showing
through. NOTE: Color differences are for
illustration purposes only. The entire nose
should be embroidered with black yarn.
