Size before assembly: about 7.1 cm at the widest, 6.4 cm long; 26 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.
Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R20).
→ Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (moderately) 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 1.9 cm at the widest, 1.8 cm long; 6 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.

R2inc ×6(12)
A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

Safety eyes with a printed glint 12 mm (on the flan): in round 15, 6 st apart (count along round 15: about 3.2 st each side of the centre front line).
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the flan), straight stitches through: (between rounds 13 and 14, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 13, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 13, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 13 and 14, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 13, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
