- Size before assembly: an oval about 8.9 × 6.5 cm at the widest, 9.2 cm long; 30 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 vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the back of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
- With brown: ch 8.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Press the piece flat to about 4.9 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 45 % --> Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 8 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- A flat oval about 5.9 × 5.1 cm; 7 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running front to back. The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
- With caramel: ch 4.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 5 cm at the widest, 4.3 cm long; 17 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.
- Size before assembly: about 0.4 cm at the widest, 6.7 cm long; 19 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Bend ≈ 50° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 9 rounds -->. Bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces backward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, on the centre back line <!-- st 0.24 left -->). It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 7 and 8 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
- Size before assembly: about 0.7 cm at the widest, 3.5 cm long; 10 rounds.
- 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.
