About this pattern

A small brown bear sits facing you among four white daisies with gold centers, on a strip of green grass: a tall daisy on a straight green stalk at each side and a low one in front of each flank. It has two round ears with a pale mark inside each, small dark eyes with a white glint, a pale muzzle with a dark nose, and its two front legs side by side. Dark brown outline round the bear, the flowers and the grass. Apart from the glints the left half mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 39 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,306 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Hazelnut Brown 420, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 4 more).
