Knitting Pattern: Mou Mou Bears - Fishing Adventure (EN/ FR)
Welcome to a peaceful lakeside story with the Mou Mou Bears.
In this pattern, Daddy Bear and his little one head out for their usual fishing trip. Both of them are dressed in their cozy knits, ready for a slow and happy day outdoors. As evening approaches and the air turns chilly, Son Bear brings along his snug sleeping bag to stay warm under the stars.
Daddy Bear carries his trusty fishing net bag to collect their catch. When it’s time to splash into the water, they change into their swim pants and wade in together. This time, luck is on their side — they catch different fish in different sizes and cheerful colors, enough to feed them for the whole week.
This pattern invites you to create a heartwarming father-and-son (or parent-and-child) adventure scene full of storytelling details and playful accessories.

I love bears and also this pattern. 🐻So far it has been clear and easy to follow, and anything I found difficult as a relatively new knitter was explained (such as circular cast on). It's turning out adorable and I highly recommend:)Here is my daddy bear!
