Size
He's about 13 inches tall when sitting. His arms and legs are about 7 inches long. That's long enough to hug a friend. :-)
Difficulty
Easy!
There's nothing tricky on this one - just cuddly cuteness. :-) If you can use your sewing machine, you can make him.
If your sewing machine doesn't have a free arm, you may need to sew the head to the body (the neck seam) by hand.
