Unfortunately the only pictures I have are the ones on my blog. I’ve already given the bear away, so there’s no taking more. But I should be able to draw up some diagrams later; I’ll send you an e-mail when I do.

I’m afraid I’m not going to be much help, as I also re-worked the pattern substantially, but here’s what I can offer:

The labels for the sides of the head in my copy of the book are backwards. So what is marked “left side” is actually the right side of the bear’s face and vice versa. If the pieces of the head aren’t making any sense, try flipping the left and right side around. What should happen is that the two side pieces will meet from the bear’s chin to the nose, leaving a V-shape at the top. That’s where the triangular forehead piece goes. The cast-on edge of that piece is the very top of the bear’s head.

For the body, I decided that the bind-off edge was the leg end.

The legs are indeed confusing. The little gap that the instructions have you make is the instep. Sew that shut first. Then sew the little round piece to the cast on edge. As you sew this seam, the leg piece will curl around the round piece and start to be more leg shaped.

Hope that helps!
