Pattern description
A charming woodland scene brings together a gentle brown bear surrounded by lush pine branches and forest foliage in this intermediate-level cross stitch pattern. The 123 x 123 stitch count creates a perfectly square composition ideal for framing or displaying on cushions. The bear's expressive face with its simple white eyes and dark nose captures an endearing, child-friendly character that appeals to needleworkers of all ages.
The color palette balances warm earthen tones of the bear against vibrant forest greens that frame the scene. With 14 DMC thread colors, you'll work through rich browns, warm oranges, and varied green shades to build depth and dimension. The rustic warmth of this design makes it particularly suited for woodland-themed nurseries, children's bedrooms, or cozy family spaces where nature-inspired décor brings comfort.
This intermediate needlework project offers an engaging stitching experience without overwhelming complexity, making it perfect for crafters developing their skills in counted cross stitch techniques. Whether you're stitching on 14-count or 16-count Aida fabric, the finished piece measures approximately 8.75 to 7.7 inches square. It makes a thoughtful handmade gift for new babies, holiday celebrations, or anyone who treasures forest wildlife and the peaceful charm of outdoor-inspired home décor.
Stitch planning checklist

- 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.
