Polar Bear crochet pattern

This measures about 10cm tall and 14cm in length, when made with double knit yarn or about 12cm tall and 18cm in length, when made with aran yarn.
When I make this Polar Bear I use the Cream shade of Stylecraft yarn, but any off white colour would work (Parchment also works well). You can also make it in White if you prefer.
