This is a pattern that will work in any gauge and any yarn, just make sure you use hook of apropriate size (a bit smaller than yarn calls for).

To make this bear I used:

• less than one skein of 8/4 yarn (brown), I worked with double thread and hook no 3,5 mm
• a small amount of 8/4 yarn (beige)
• small amount of yarn to ebroider eyes and snout
• polyester fiberfill
• blunt end needle
• stitch marker

Stitches used: magic ring, chain, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, increase, invisible decrease

Skill level: beginner/confident beginner
