The mystery project is finished!!
I had intended to make a sweet (boring) wide blue and white striped blanket for my new nephew and had actually gotten as far as a white stripe when I showed it to Father. I said it looked remarkably like fur (he said bath mat, but I forgave him) and somehow the idea for a polar bear rug/blanket was born. I hadn't seen any so this is completely free-crocheted.
I know the shape isn't quite right, but gimme a break, it's close. (c;
Isn't he cute and inoffensive?
Non-sharp claws.
I crocheted a 'hood' underneath the head so it could be used for a hooded blanket.
My not-so-new-and-small son modeling it.
And I've folded it up into a nicely inconspicuous square.
They will have no idea what they are about to open...

Ok THAT is adorable. Hands down. You are talented!! I just had to emerge from my lurk-dom to tell you so. :)
How CUTE! You are so creative!
love it!!! :) very fun and cute!!!
That is amazing! My dd has a lamb blanket like that, and it's one of her favorite things. But it has no hood and isn't homemade, so not quite as cool. ;) You should write up the pattern and put it on etsy or ravelry! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would buy it!
Oh that is the cutest thing ever!!
How wonderful! I suspect that blanket will be loved literally to pieces by the recipient. What a lovely and very creative gift.
Oh, that is fantastic! If you put a pattern together, I'm quite sure it would be a hit! Love it!
Oh my goodness!! that is adorable!! You need to sell those :)
Please, please, please sell those. I would buy 4! Of course they would have to be largish. You really need to sell them.
Very cute!
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Do you have a vague idea of how you did it? I have a friend who's going to have twin boys and I have to come up with something to make them... I thought I'd probably end up making teddy bears - but this is so much cuter!!! What yarn did you use? I just LOVE it!!
Thanks ladies. (:
Nonna, I used Bernat Pipsqueak yarn in white and just misc. yarn I had lying around for the eyes, teeth and claws. I can email you and give you an idea of how I made it.
