A flat oval about 10.7 × 6.9 cm; 5 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running vertically, top to bottom. 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
With cream: ch 7.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

Size before assembly: an oval about 8.2 × 5.2 cm at the widest, 5.5 cm long; 9 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 vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.

Embroidery in chocolate thread (on the head), straight stitches through: (between rounds 22 and 23, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 23 and 24, on the centre front line ).
Embroidery in chocolate thread (on the head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 23 and 24, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 24 and 25, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 24, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
Satin stitch (on the foot) (2: one on each foot; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in dusty pink thread, a oval about 18 mm wide and 13 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
