- Size before assembly: about 3.1 cm at the widest, 8.4 cm long; 33 rounds.
- → 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: about 3.6 cm at the widest, 3.1 cm long; 16 rounds.
- → 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 1.9 × 1 cm at the widest, 2.1 cm long; 8 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 front 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 tan: ch 5.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
- Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 2.5 cm long; 10 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a spoon: push the front wall into the back wall (not down to a thin plate) — a concave spoon about 1.5 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 4.2 mm thick); about 16 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) --> Bend ≈ 90° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds --><!-- drape relax_mm 2 twist 1 -->. The piece is soft and unstuffed: do not tack a fold. Sewn on as the assembly says, it bends over the head by itself and hangs down; the inner side of the bend faces down on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the back <!-- st 0.79 back -->). If the ear sticks out, smooth it down along the head by hand.
- A flat circle about 1.1 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Of these: front — 2 (left and right); hind — 2 (left and right). Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 5 rounds.
- Change to choco (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
