Size before assembly: about 7.8 cm at the widest, 7.3 cm long; 26 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 5.5 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 12 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 5 rounds.
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.

R10–3110 sc(10)
Size before assembly: an oval about 3.2 × 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 vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front 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 grey: ch 5.
Change to white (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
Change to dark red (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.

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 heart): in round 19, 8 st apart (count along round 19: about 4 st each side of the centre front line).
Satin stitch (on the heart): in dark brown thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 3 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 17, on the centre front line.
Satin stitch (on the right heart lobe): in light pink thread, a oval about 8 mm wide and 3.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 40° anticlockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 8, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left.
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the heart) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 22 and 23, 5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 22, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right) → (between rounds 21 and 22, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
