Some tips:
1. Every Part will be worked in spiral rounds. Each round will be finished with slst.
2. Use a stitch marker. A little thread (just use a different colour from the main one) can
help as well to count the rounds. Place it over the working thread and it will be easy to pull
it out.

For Eyes and Nose: Between 18th and 19th rows from the start –
find the place for the eyes, points A, B, C, D (leave approx.10 ST
space). For the nose between 7 and 8th row (from the start) is Point
1. For the eyes count from the top, for the nose count from the
bottom. Please follow the pictures.
At Point 1 (Nose) insert the needle and go to point A upwards to the
eye place.
Go 2 ST to the left, from point A to point B. Insert the needle into
Point B and go back to point 1. Tighten the 2nd eye the same way.
Pull strong together and make a knot.

First attach the nose and then the safety eyes - pull them carefully through the open part of the head and
fasten them inside. After that you can finish crocheting the head:

29. (2 SC, 1 dec)x6 (18)
30. (1 SC, 1 dec)x6 (12)
31. 6 x dec, pull together and hide tail.

To make the eyes a little more nicer you can glue some eyelashes on top.
To glue them on I use UHU Glue.
Bear in mind – if you glue the eyelashes in place then you should make
sure they are attached well. After washing you will have to glue them
again.
