Round 6 – 8 (3 rounds in total) – SC into every stitch around (18ST)

At this point I embroider the nose and eyes. The nose is between row 1 & 2 using the yarn that is the same colour of the ears. The eyes between row 4 & 5, approx. 3 stitches a part. using brown yarn and the same colour yarn as the ears (for the catch lights in the eyes). I use double yarn for embroidering features.
