→ 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: about 1.1 cm at the widest, 4.5 cm long; 12 rounds.
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 1.8 cm at the widest, 7 cm long; 20 rounds.
Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 3 mm thick. Bend ≈ 28° around round 12. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 12, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ). It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 12 and 13 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.

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 eye with a printed glint 12 mm (on the flower cup): in round 11, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the flower cup), straight stitches through: (between rounds 10 and 11, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 11, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, 2.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 11, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 10 and 11, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ).
Embroidery in dark brown thread (on the flower cup), straight stitches through: (between rounds 9 and 10, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 9, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 8 and 9, on the centre front line ) → (in round 9, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 9 and 10, 0.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
