Face Definition:

In brown yarn

Face definition can make the toy look cuter! The pictures show an eagle, but the steps are the exact same no matter which animal you try this technique out with.

Take a 12” piece of white yarn and place it on a needle. Insert the needle where shown (Pic 1). Pull the needle out next to the right of the toy’s eye (Pic 2).

Reinsert the needle to the left of the toy’s eye (Pic 3). Pull the needle out where shown, about 1 stitch over from where we originally inserted the needle (Pic 4).

Reinsert the needle 1 stitch over (Pic 5). Pull the needle out at the right side of the left eye (Pic 6).

Reinsert the needle at the left side of the left eye (Pic 7). Pull the needle out at the same stitch where we originally inserted the needle (Pic 8).
