Meet Popo, an adorable amigurumi polar bear who comes with his own signature ribbon accessory that you can style however you like.

This charming polar bear stands about 5 inches tall with a sweet, friendly expression created using safety eyes and embroidered details. His soft white body is accented with gentle blue and pink touches, giving him that classic teddy bear appeal. The included ribbon can be tied around his neck as a bow tie or placed on his head for a different look. Popo makes a perfect gift for baby showers, young children, or anyone who collects handmade stuffed animals. The soft cotton yarn and fiberfill stuffing create a cuddly texture that's ideal for display or gentle play. At around 2.5 hours of work, this is a satisfying afternoon project that produces a keepsake-quality result. The pattern works up quickly with just a 3mm hook and small amounts of yarn in three colors. The finished bear has that professional amigurumi look with smooth shaping and clean color changes.
