Delightful, cuddly design. Appreciate that it is free.
The designer provides very clear directions and pictures.

Others who made this thought the body shape was a little too oblong.
To make it more rounded, worked gradual increases to 54 st, worked even for 9 rows, worked one row decreases, one row even, then gradual decreases as written.
I could have worked more rows even to make it a little taller.

Used commercial two piece 15 mm animal eyes at betw r 12 and 13, 6 st apart.
Omitted the bobble arms.
Made ears a little wider and longer.
Lightly stuffed the ears.
Made four paws and placed them below the body.

Tail: held worsted yarn double.
