made this bear - turned out very pint sized. Used recommended needles and doubled the yarn. Would like to make a larger version - how do i adapt the pattern. Even though it was pint sized it was adorable and is being thoroughly enjoyed.

what is the weight of the yarn?

how many stitches per inch?

if I use a chunkier yarn with size 10 needles how do I need to adapt the pattern?
