About this pattern

The face of a honey-brown teddy bear looking straight at you. It has two round ears with pale straw linings, two dark square eyes with a white glint in each, and a pale muzzle with a dark triangular nose and a small smiling mouth under it. A dark brown outline runs round the head and the ears. Apart from the eye glints, the left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 31 by 29 stitches and uses four thread colors.

31 stitches wide by 29 high: 687 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Topaz 782, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822 and 1 more).
