Head and Body Contiuned:
Place eyes between rounds 14 and 15, the eyes will be 2 holes away from the corner of the mouth. If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 30.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.

Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you reach the look you want. Follow the pictures on pg. 5-6 for help.
To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the washers on the eyes then re stuff it.
