I had to remake the body a couple of times because the pattern starts the “sweater” a little low, making it look like the bear had a really long neck. Overall, very easy and very cute. I like the round bear ears over the floppy dog ears, also ran out of time as it was a christmas gift. The legs kind of look like sausages, though.

I was so proud of this bear, even though I realized that I finished the whole thing on the wrong side after it was too late. It was a gift for my 1 1/2 year old niece, and upon seeing it she started crying and punched it in its little bear face. About six months later, I asked her to grab a toy from her box, and she grabbed the bear, and it warmed my heart. Clearly she made amends with the little guy.
