Besides the few obvious color changes, hers is taller than mine since her laptop is a bit larger.
The biggest construction change was making full circles for the hind legs instead of half circles and adding 'feet' to them. This means that there are two additional pockets on the back of the sleeve.
For the small details, I made the eyes as a whole smaller, but increased the pupil size. Used a slip stitch to create a mouth, and created small front legs.
I actually finished this pattern a while ago, but was a bit lazy getting it posted. I often forget to write down my pattern as I make it and had to go back and analyze my stitches to write it. She's been carrying it for a few months now and has gotten several compliments. It's helped prevent minor wear and tear such as scratching when she puts her laptop in her bookbag, or in the car, and she reported that she loves that the legs double as pockets. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
