close to the eyes as possible.
Points 5 and 6 are located between the 34th and 35th rounds of the head, at a
distance of 1 sc.
Insert the needle into point 5 and exit it through point 1. Then insert the needle into
point 2 and exit it through point 6. Now pull the second eye. Insert the needle into
point 5 and exit it through point 3. Next, insert it into point 4 and exit it through
point 6. Pull the threads very carefully, trying to tighten the eyes evenly and not too
much. Tie a knot and hide it inside the head.

Embroider the nose:
Mark 2 points with pins, they are located between rounds 20 and 21 of the head,

the lower one is between rounds 22 and 23. From the edge of the eye 8sc.
Sew the ears to the head.

Face Decoration (for safety eyes):

lashes above the eyes with a black thread. Embroider eyebrows with a brown
thread. Exit white, brown and black threads through the opening in the head.

-16-
 Face Decoration (for embroidered eyes):

21 (see photo). From this central point, count 3sc in each direction (points 1 and 2),
mark with pins - these will be the lower edges of the inner sides of the eyes. In total,
there should be 6sc between points 1 and 2. Next, from points 1 and 2 count 11sc
in each direction, these will be the upper edges of the ears, they are also located at
the level of rounds 20 and 21. The lower edge of the ears is located between
