He wants it bigger so I am using Worsted weight.
To compensate for the differences in yarn, I have had to add 3 extra plain rows to the depth of the head, 3 extra plain rows before and after the waist and I expect I will have to lengthen the arms to keep the perspective. ( I did)
I will crochet the eyes the same way I do for the Feel Better Friends.
I put a cardboard cut out in the sole of the foot. Makes stuffing so much easier and he will be able to stand up.
