Rnd 3 – 18: 42sc
Put safety eyes, in the round 13. Can we expect to weave the hair, to adjust well the eye level, but remember to put them before closing the doll!.

If you have not laid safety eyes, this is a good time, because in the next round will close the body of the doll. Stuffing first, but not too much to keep the square shape.
