Honestly, toy making is a LOT easier than you might expect

If you can do the basics (knit, purl, inc, dec and sew pieces together) you can make this. I haven't made this pattern (yet!) but I've made a few Alan Dart toys. They are fiddly in the sense that you have lots of little bits to sew together at the end, but I promise it's not really as hard as you think it is
