Size before assembly: about 8.3 cm at the widest, 12.3 cm long; 41 rounds.
→ Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.

Size before assembly: about 2.2 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 rounds.
Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 1.6 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 22 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.
