About this pattern

A bear walking to the left with its head low, stitched as a solid silhouette in one dark brown thread. Three pine trees are left as bare fabric inside its body, side by side, each a pointed tree with a short trunk. The bear has a small ear, a blunt muzzle, a hump at the shoulder, a rounded rump and four legs in mid-stride. There is no outline, no eye and no ground line. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 33 stitches and uses one thread color.

51 stitches wide by 33 high: 981 full cross stitches in 1 DMC color (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938).
