    Christmas Friends Knitalong Part 6: Christmas Trees

    Your character collection is coming along nicely, but it wouldn’t be Christmas without an iconic tree (or three!).

    Christmas Friends Knitalong Part 7: Polar Bear

    Sachiyo Ishii’s baby bear is so charming, especially with his ribbed hat and striped scarf. The body panel is worked in intarsia and is so simple it doesn’t need a chart – just keep the colours correct on the wrong side rows as well, and cross the yarn at the colour changes to avoid any holes. You’re all set for your penultimate character!
