FO

Stuff the last part!

With tapestry needle and white yarn create the eyebrow on the head. Hold the body so, that
the round’s starting point is facing downward. The eyebrow starts slightly above the
starting point of the head and the seam goes till the 9th round. The distance between the
ends of the two eyebrows is 9 stitches. Form the eyebrows carefully with your hands before
you start stitching. When you are satisfied with the result, pass the needle from side to
side of the eyebrow, pulling the yarn a bit, as you see on the pictures.
