→ Start stuffing (lightly) 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: an oval about 3.1 × 1.9 cm at the widest, 3.4 cm long; 10 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 tan: 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 caramel (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 5 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 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 32 mm across.

Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff moderately just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 50° around round 11. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 11, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ). On the inner side draw rounds 10 and 12 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 3 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.

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. Bend ≈ 20° around round 8. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 8, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 7 and 9 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 6 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

A flat oval about 3.7 × 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 side to side. 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.

Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

R2(inc ×2, 1 sc) ×2(10)
Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest (lies flat); 2 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.

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 8 mm (on the head): in round 14, 11 st apart (count along round 14: about 5.4 st each side of the centre front line).
Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in dark thread, a triangle about 11 mm wide and 7 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 180° clockwise (looking at that surface); centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
Embroidery in dark thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 1, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 2, on the centre bottom line).
Embroidery in dark thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
Blush about 8 mm, dry pastel or blush (on the head, both sides): in round 16, 6 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left . Colour blush.
