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. Pull needle out next to the right of the toy’s eye.

Reinsert needle to the left of the toy’s eye. Pull needle out where shown, about 1 stitch over from where we originally inserted the needle.
Reinsert needle 1 stitch over. Pull needle out at the right side of the left eye.

Reinsert needle at the left side of the left eye. Pull needle out at the same stitch where we originally inserted out needle.
Pull both ends of yarn firmly to tighten the toy’s face. Tie both ends of yarn together a few times to form a knot.
Bring the tail ends of yarn into the toy’s head to hide the knot. Cut excess yarn. Done!
