Position the eyes between rounds 12 and 13, ensuring there are 11 stitches separating them. Position the first eye just before the second increase. After installing the first eye, count 11 spaces and insert the second eye in the next available spot. For a sunken eye effect, wait to attach the backs of the eyes until you reach row 27.
!TIP! Adjust the placement of the eyes as necessary based on the yarn and hook size you are using.

Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long strand of yarn and carefully remove the eyes. Insert the needle into the hole where the first eye is located and pass the needle through to an adjacent hole near the eye.Alternate back and forth between each eye hole, repeating the installation process used for the first eye. After threading the yarn through each hole, give it a gentle tug to tighten. Repeat this process approximately three times on each side or until you achieve the desired appearance. Follow the pictures for help. Additionally, there is a YouTube video available that provides extra guidance on this process.
To attach the backs of the eyes, you’ll need to remove most of the stuffing first.
Attach the washers to the eyes and then restuff the item.
