Change to purple (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R45).
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. Bend ≈ 75° around round 22. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 22, on the line on the toy's left side). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 18 to round 26, 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 8 rounds) and fasten off inside.

R2–420 sc(20)
Size before assembly: about 2.6 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 4 rounds. Each piece is two circles (front and back): make 2 circles — 1 as below and 1 plain in white (same rounds, no colour changes).
Fasten off. Hold a front and a plain circle wrong sides together and sc around through both layers: 20 sc. Do not stuff. Leave a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing.

The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.
