- Size before assembly: about 8.3 cm at the widest, 6.5 cm long; 27 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 2.3 cm at the widest, 1.5 cm long; 5 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–2 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 2.7 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 3–5 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 23 mm across.<!-- (dish 70 %) -->
- A flat oval about 3.4 × 2.2 cm; 3 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With black: ch 5.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 rounds.
