A flat oval about 4.1 × 2.9 cm; 4 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.

Size before assembly: an oval about 4.3 × 3.9 cm at the widest, 3.6 cm long; 13 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 slate: ch 3.
→ Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
Press the piece flat to about 2.8 cm thick (oval cross-section). Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 12 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; 12 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 75° around round 5. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, 5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ). It is a gradual bend: with the needle and matching yarn run a line of stitches along the inner side from round 2 to round 7, 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 5 rounds) and fasten off inside. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.

Embroidery in black thread (on the head), straight stitches through: (between rounds 25 and 26, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, on the centre front line ) → (between rounds 26 and 27, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 25 and 26, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
