Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 9 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 5. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ). On the inner side draw rounds 4 and 6 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 3 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

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 10 mm (on the neck with head): between rounds 6 and 7, 8 st apart (count along round 6: about 4 st each side of the centre front line).
Blush about 8 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the neck with head, both sides): in round 9, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour pink.
Embroidery in charcoal thread (on the neck with head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 10 and 11, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 11, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 11, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 10 and 11, on the centre front line).
