Polar Bear C2C Square - Free Crochet Pattern + Graph | Wildlife Graphghan CAL Block 15

Welcome to block 15 of the Wildlife Graphghan Crochet along! Only 5 animal blocks to go! I can't believe we came so far! :)

After the Baby Penguin (square no. 14), we are continuing the polar wildlife with the Polar Bear Corner to Corner Crochet Block! I think he turned out quite cute.

I would say that the Polar Bear c2c block is one of the easiest of this Crochet-along. There are not many color changes and till row 10 you will work in the main color only; same the last 7 rows.

For the muzzle I would have used a lighter grey, but that was the lightest I had available. If you find, you could use the shade "Light Grey" - Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, instead of Dusty Grey. :) Let me know in the comments what you think!

The Polar Bear C2C Square it's a free crochet pattern that includes written row by row instructions for color counts follow with color pixel graph below.
