I did use a chunky yarn instead of worsted, and I ended up using somewhat more than 1 skein of Lion Brand Hometown.
Head: Made as written in pattern (ignore the stitch counts in parentheses because they apparently are a little wonky/not quite right)
Eyebrows/Eyes/Teeth: Not made. Could not understand, for the life of me, what the eyebrow directions meant. I prefer a pretty safety eye anyway. No teeth embroidery either as it creeped me out a little.
Neck and Body: All rounds made as usual except multiple rounds of SC around were omitted. Meaning that, where noted, I made one row of single crochets but then did not make the next one or two rounds of single crochet (ex: R10-12, I only made R10 and then skipped to R13).
Front Arms: Not made as written. I ended up with teeny little sticks for arms because I liked it better.
Round 1: Ch 2, 3 SC in 2nd ch from hook
Round 2-4: SC around.
F/O (Make 2)
Back Legs: Made 2 of the Left Leg pattern but fastened off after round 7 (did not work 8 or 9). Sewed on both legs using same technique as my hippo - more underneath the body than sticking out from the sides.
He's very front heavy and can't stand up on his own :( But this is what I think of, haha!
And this!
Ok, ok, enough of the tiny arm jokes. At least he ended up cute in the end!
Haha! He most certainly did end up cute! You did a great job with the pattern and modifications. I am still laughing over a T-Rex trying to make a bed. Although that is how I feel sometimes when I am doing it too. ;)
