Size before assembly: about 8.6 cm at the widest, 8.2 cm long; 28 rounds.
→ Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Press the piece flat to about 6 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 18 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

R3–414 sc(14)
A flat oval about 4.2 × 3 cm; 4 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 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 beige: ch 5.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

R1with brown: 5 sc in MR(5)

A flat circle about 1.4 cm across; 2 rounds.
