Size before assembly: about 8.9 cm at the widest, 8.3 cm long; 31 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 8 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 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 2.4 cm long; 7 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. Bend ≈ 60° around round 4. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 4, on the centre front line). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 5 together (1 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 1.9 cm long; 6 rounds.
→ Start stuffing (moderately) and keep adding as you decrease.
Press the piece flat to about 1.1 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 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

Round 1with yellow: into a magic ring; 10 sc; sl st in the first st to join(10)
Round 2(point (ch 5, then back along the chain from the 2nd ch from hook: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc), skip 1 st, 1 sl st) ×5(25)
Flat motif — star (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 4.1 × 4.3 cm; 2 rows.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

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 13 mm (on the jelly body): in round 16, 10 st apart (count along round 16: about 5 st each side of the centre front line).
Blush about 9 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the jelly body, both sides): in round 19, 9 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour pink.
Satin stitch (on the jelly body): in dark red thread, a oval about 21 mm wide and 8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 20, on the centre front line.
Satin stitch (on the jelly body): in pink thread in several layers so it stands out, a oval about 10 mm wide and 3.5 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 21, on the centre front line .
