- Size before assembly: about 7.4 cm at the widest, 4.7 cm long; 17 rounds.
- 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.
- Size before assembly: about 9.3 cm at the widest, 7.7 cm long; 30 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 12 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: about 2.4 cm at the widest, 4.4 cm long; 13 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 2.3 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 24 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 2.6 cm long; 8 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.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 3.8 × 3 cm at the widest, 2.7 cm long; 9 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 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.

- 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 2.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 23 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) -->
- Flat motif — half circle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 3.6 × 6.8 cm; 8 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.

- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff moderately just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 70° around round 9<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 9, 1.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 1.51 left -->). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 7 to round 11, one stitch in every round along one column, then pull the yarn until the piece bends to the angle (the inner side gathers by about 4 rounds) and fasten off inside.
