Optional mouth..... With yarn needle and black yarn. Do not knot yarn. Insert needle from inside head about row 13 between eyes. Make a lose straight stitch across 3 stitches leaving a 3 inch tail inside. Insert needle from inside again but in round 15 bellow the straight stitch. And up under the straight stitch and back in the same stitch you just came through. Pull snug and tie the 2 ends together.
