Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the pie slice), straight stitches through: (between rounds 10 and 11, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 10 and 11, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
