Care Bear Pattern

I have had a lot of requests for the pattern for the Care Bear I made at the beginning of the year. I looked in my notes and found a rough pattern. Please note this pattern is quite old, I made this bear before I started writing down my patterns in the rounds. If I get a chance to make another Bear I will write up a pattern in proper rounds. Also this pattern does not include the hat.
