About this pattern

A black bear walking to the right along a strip of grass, seen side on with its head held low. It has a tan muzzle with a black nose, a single white stitch for the eye and two gray legs on its far side. A tall pine stands behind it on the left and a smaller one ahead of it on the right, each in tiers of dark green on a brown trunk. Flat colors with no outline. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 29 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 29 high: 1,009 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Black 310, Dark Blue Green 501, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
