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 Bear I use the Gingerbread shade of Stylecraft yarn, but any brown colour would work (Dark Brown also works well).
