1st attempt at cuddly toy (Hippo)

It's been a long time in the making but finally had the confidence to finish it. Took 2 weeks to do all the knitting but I've been putting off the sewing up bit until now. Started in October, finished in December.
I can see mistakes in it but I've got this as a template now so future attempts should be better.

Dk wool on 3 1/4mm needles.  Pattern taken from book "Knitting Wild Animals" by Sarah Keen.
It's been a good exercise for me as I've learned to make a stitch, k2tog tbl and P2tog tbl. As well as decreases.
