Adding the Bunny’s Face
Before closing the head, it’s time to create its adorable expression.
- Place two black safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10.
- Leave approximately 7 stitches between the eyes.
- Embroider a small pink triangular nose below the eyes.

For toys intended for babies and young children, use securely embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes.
Stuff the head evenly with polyester fiberfill.
