I liked the pattern details. The pictures used to describe how to put him together was a nice change. You don't normally see that level of detail. I did make some changes. I used 3.25mm needles, I used the M1 and KFB stitches rather than the recommend KLL and KRL stitches, mainly because I'd left it late to get it done and I didn't have time to learn 2 new stitches! (New Year's Resolution: Learn the KLL and KRL stitches...). I didn't add the white stitched detail to his dungarees and I left his hair as is because I thought it looked more like the long locks of a highland cow. I think he came out quite well and I'm sure my friend will love him.
