Little Goat with a Bell

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 Head): in round 13, 9 st apart (count along round 13: about 4.5 st each side of the centre front line).
• Satin stitch (on the Muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in dusty rose thread, a oval about 2.6 mm wide and 4 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 2, 1.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left .
• Embroidery in chocolate thread (on the Muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 2, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 2, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
• Strap (on the Body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): with red, ch 38 (≈ 11.3 cm); for a firmer strap sl st back along it. Sew it along (between rounds 16 and 17, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 7 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 13.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, 7 st from the centre back line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 16 and 17, on the centre back line ), catching it every 2–3 ch.
• Strap (on the Body): with red, ch 11 (≈ 3 cm); for a firmer strap sl st back along it. Sew it along (between rounds 16 and 17, on the centre front line ) → (in round 13, on the centre front line) → (between rounds 9 and 10, on the centre front line ), catching it every 2–3 ch.
