About this pattern

A brown teddy bear with both arms thrown up in the air, holding the string of a red balloon in its raised paw on the right of the picture. The bear faces you: round ears with pale insides, dark eyes with a white glint in each, a pale muzzle with a dark nose, a pale round tummy and pale pads on both feet. The balloon floats straight above the paw, red with a small white shine and a knot, on a thin dark string. Nothing is drawn under the feet. Apart from the glints in its eyes, the left half of the bear mirrors the right exactly. A small piece for a card or a child's room.

37 stitches wide by 50 high: 762 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 2 more).
