Size before assembly: about 9.3 cm at the widest, 7.7 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.
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 2.8 cm at the widest, 3.7 cm long; 11 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.9 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 28 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.

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.

→ 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 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight 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 10–12 mm (on the body with head): in round 20, 9 st apart (count along round 20: about 4.3 st each side of the centre front line).
Satin stitch (on the body with head): in rose thread, a oval about 5.5 mm wide and 3.8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 19, on the centre front line .
Embroidery in brown thread (on the body with head), straight stitches through: (between rounds 18 and 19, on the centre front line ) → (in round 18, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 17 and 18, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 18, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
