Modifications:
Used Emily Ocker’s circular cast on: https://newstitchaday.com/emily-ocker-cast-on-knitting/

On Round 5 of the head I made a bobble in the middle stitch of the first half of the round for the nose.

After Round 6, instead of cutting a separate strand of Color A, I knot the tail from the circular cast on to draw in the center and pull up through the body to flatten the bottom. I also don’t cut a separate strand of Color P, instead I use the ends where the body meets the neck and weave the tails in, pull tight, knot and leave inside with the stuffing.
