Pattern description
Stitched in soft golden-brown and cream tones, this standing bear captures the gentle charm of children's needlework. The sweet expression and rounded form make it an endearing motif for young crafters and nursery decorators alike. At 72 x 72 stitches on 14-count Aida, it's an approachable project that builds confidence without demanding expert precision.
Creating this design requires 23 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill—a rewarding balance between creative challenge and achievable completion. The warm rustic palette shifts from deeper chocolate browns in the ears and back to lighter honey and cream on the belly, giving the bear dimension and character. Once finished, the piece becomes a treasured keepsake for a child's room, a handmade gift with lasting appeal, or a charming addition to a needleworker's portfolio of counted cross stitch projects.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
