About this pattern

A bookmark of a honey-brown teddy bear peeking over a tall stack of six books, with both paws resting on the top one. The bear shows his round ears with pale linings, dark eyes with a white glint in each and a pale muzzle with a dark nose. From the top the books are red, green, blue, red, green and blue: four show their spines, with a pale band near each end, and the second and fourth show their white pages. A dark brown outline runs round the bear and every book. Apart from the eye glints, the left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only.

33 stitches wide by 61 high: 1,691 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322, Dark Topaz 782 and 4 more).
