Size before assembly: about 5.9 cm at the widest, 4.8 cm long; 16 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 brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R15).
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.

Flat motif — heart (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 5.5 × 5.7 cm; 6 rows.
Round 1: with peach: into a magic ring; ch 3 (the first post, not counted); 3 tr, 3 dc, ch 1, 1 tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr; ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight (13) Round 2: starting with the first tr, work into the stitches only (not into the ch-3 posts or the ch-1 spaces); 1 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 2 sc, 3 sc in one st, 2 sc, inc, 1 sc, inc, 1 sc; sl st in the first st to join (19) Round 3: 2 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 3 sc, 3 sc in one st, 3 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc; sl st in the first st to join (25) Round 4: 3 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 4 sc, 3 sc in one st, 4 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 3 sc; sl st in the first st to join (31) Round 5: 4 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 6 sc, 3 sc in one st, 6 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 4 sc; sl st in the first st to join (37) Round 6: 4 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 7 sc, 3 sc in one st, 7 sc, inc, 5 sc, inc, 4 sc; sl st in the first st to join (43)
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.

Size before assembly: an oval about 3.4 × 2.2 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 5 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
With peach: ch 5.
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.

Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R2).
→ This piece is not stuffed.
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. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–3 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 3.1 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 4–6 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 33 mm across.

Size before assembly: about 0.8 cm at the widest, 8.3 cm long; 23 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 ≈ 360° around round 4. The tail rolls up into a spiral (about 1 turns): after stuffing, roll it up from the tip (round 1) toward the side that faces up on the finished toy; the turns lie close, each wider than the last. From the tip to round 4 tack neighbouring turns together with 2–3 stitches of matching yarn every 3–4 rounds and hide the yarn inside.

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. Bend ≈ 40° around round 7. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, 2 st from the centre front line, upward ). On the inner side draw rounds 6 and 7 together (1 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

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 12 mm (on the heart face): between rounds 3 and 4, 9 st apart (count along round 3: about 4.6 st each side of the centre top line).
Satin stitch (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in dark thread, a oval about 2.6 mm wide and 3.2 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred between rounds 1 and 2, 0.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left .
Embroidery in dark thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 2, 5.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, 2 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, on the centre bottom line) → (in round 3, 2 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 2, 5.5 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right ).
