Eyes (2 pieces)
There are different options you can use in making eyes, the first of which is the locked plastic eyes preferred in amigurumi toys. Second, you can knit it yourself according to the recipe given with different embroidery threads. Third, you can embroider the eye with embroidery threads. Fourth, you can make an eye with the buttons. In this recipe, I found it appropriate to knit the eyes with ethamine yarn.
