Stuff head and put the eyes in place, around the 14th row, counting

safety eye through it. Between the white felt pieces you should have about
5 or 6 sts between them. Take out stuffing and put the washers in place. I like to stuff

eyes in use a little white thread and lightly st the felt pieces down. Even though the head is attached I sewed it down just to make it nice and secure.
