Size before assembly: about 22.1 cm at the widest, 24.3 cm long; 44 rounds.
→ Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

Safety eyes with a printed glint 30 mm (on the head body): in round 25, 12 st apart (count along round 25: about 5.8 st each side of the centre front line).
Embroidery in dark navy thread (on the head body), straight stitches through: (between rounds 28 and 29, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 29, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 29 and 30, on the centre front line ) → (in round 29, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 28 and 29, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
