I also made differant feet than the original pattern. I just found a bear that had nice feet and made 2. I didn’t keep trrack of what pattern but there are tons out there that will work so just find your favorite and use it . (and save the pattern like I will next time.) :)
I also used the method I learned from Rebeckah’s Treasures Timothy the Turtle in which you crochet / attach the arms and legs to the main body.
