Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the flower face), straight stitches through: (in round 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 4, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 4, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 4, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
