- Size before assembly: about 7.7 cm at the widest, 8.3 cm long; 31 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 grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
- Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R15).
- Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R18).
- Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R21).
- Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R22).
- → 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: an oval about 3.3 × 2.1 cm at the widest, 7 cm long; 20 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 front to back; the starting chain is at the top 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 black: ch 5.
- Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
- Change to red (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R10).
- 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. Bend ≈ 85° around round 9<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 9, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 1.09 left -->). On the inner side draw rounds 8 and 11 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 4 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.
