Size before assembly: about 6.8 cm at the widest, 7.9 cm long; 28 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: an oval about 3 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 6 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.
With snout: ch 4.
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 2.1 cm at the widest, 2.6 cm long; 8 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.
Change to pink (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
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 2.4 mm deep in front, a rounded back, and rounded folds of two layers at the sides (about 5.7 mm thick); about 21 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.

Flat motif — half circle (worked in turned rows, one layer of fabric), about 3.1 × 5.3 cm; 7 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 body): in round 26, 4 st apart (count along round 26: about 2 st each side of the centre top line).
Satin stitch (on the snout) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in hoof thread, a oval about 3 mm wide and 4.2 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 1 and 2, 2 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left .
Embroidery in hoof thread (on the body), straight stitches through: (between rounds 26 and 27, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 26, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, 0.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
