- 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 ≈ 380° around round 6<!-- the bend spreads over 2 rounds --><!-- coil 2.2 -->. The piece rolls up into a spiral (about 1.1 turns) from round 6 to its tip: after stuffing, roll it up starting from the tip (round 1) toward the side that faces forward on the finished toy; the turns lie close, each wider than the last. From the tip to round 6 tack neighbouring turns together with 2–3 stitches of matching yarn every 3–4 rounds and hide the yarn inside.
