Ss and F/O. Leave a tail long enough to close the top.Face:Take some black to embroider thread and make some eyes. Use the yellow embroidery thread for the cheek blush and the seeds. You don’t have to make the eyes and mouth the same shape I did. That’s the beauty of crochet, to make things your own! The seeds are placed randomly. I did my seeds with yellow embroidery thread, but it’s up to you if you want to use a different color.
