Size before assembly: an oval about 7 × 5 cm at the widest, 10.9 cm long; 32 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
With cream: ch 7.
→ Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Press the piece flat to about 4.1 cm thick (oval cross-section). Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 20 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Of these: front — 1; back — 1. A flat oval about 12 × 9.6 cm; 13 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running vertically, top to bottom. 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 teal: ch 8.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Size before assembly: an oval about 2.8 × 2 cm at the widest, 10.8 cm long; 31 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 bottom 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 dark teal: ch 4.
Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
Change to coral (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R6).
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.

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 13 mm (on the heart): between rounds 20 and 21, 7 st apart (count along round 20: about 3.5 st each side of the centre front line).
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the heart), straight stitches through: (between rounds 17 and 18, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 17, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, on the centre front line ) → (in round 17, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 17 and 18, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
