- Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 22 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R20).
- 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.
- Size before assembly: about 4.7 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 9 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a spoon: push the front wall into the back wall (not down to a thin plate) — a concave spoon about 5.4 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 47 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 3.1 cm at the widest, 4.8 cm long; 14 rounds.
- Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R11).
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Bend ≈ 115° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. Bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right <!-- st 4.72 right -->). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 4 to round 9, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 5 rounds) and fasten off inside.
- Size before assembly: about 2.3 cm at the widest, 1.9 cm long; 7 rounds.
- → 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.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 2.6 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1 cm long; 4 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With white: ch 3.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
- A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 2 cm at the widest, 0.7 cm long; 2 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in red (same rounds, no colour changes).
- Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 16 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.
