the thread tightly and tie them. We repeat the same process for the other eye.
**We use the white yarn without separating its strands. For the upper part of
the eye, we use four strands of black yarn. For the eyebrows, we use a single
strand of black yarn. With dark brown yarn, we embroider the nose between
3sc one row below the eye, also catching the middle stitch of the row beneath.
Then, using two strands of brown yarn, we pull the yarn down to five rows
below the nose.
