→ 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.

R8–109 sc(9)
Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 2.6 cm long; 10 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 125° around round 5. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces backward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, 0.5 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left ). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 7 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.

R1with cream: 5 sc in MR(5)

R3(3 sc, inc) ×2(10)
R4–510 sc(10)
R62 sc, dec, 3 sc, dec, 1 sc(8)
Size before assembly: about 1 cm at the widest, 1.5 cm long; 6 rounds.
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 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 0.8 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 10 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.

R1with soft gold: ch 16 and join into a ring with a sl st in the first ch (do not twist); 16 sc, one in each ch of the ring(16)
R216 sc(16)
Size before assembly: about 1.5 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in soft gold (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.

R1starting in the 2nd ch from hook: sc 1, 3 sc in the last ch; continue along the other side of the chain: sc 0, 2 sc in the last ch (the one you made the first sc in)(6)
R2inc ×6(12)
R32 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 1 sc(15)
R415 sc(15)
Size before assembly: an oval about 1.7 × 1.4 cm at the widest, 0.9 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 beige: ch 3.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Size before assembly: an oval about 1 × 0.4 cm at the widest, 1.9 cm long; 7 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 bottom 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.

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 6 mm (on the mochi ball): between rounds 12 and 13, 9 st apart (count along round 12: about 4.4 st each side of the centre front line).
Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in dark brown thread, a oval about 3.2 mm wide and 2.2 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in dark brown thread, a oval about 3 mm wide and 2 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line .
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the mochi ball) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 15, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 16, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 15, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
