First add the pupil using the 6' piece of Black, I just put a little line over a single sc, then repeated. Now you can stuff, then sew the eyes between rnds. 9 & 18 on the body, with two sc between the eyes.
Finishing:
With a 6" piece of White, add a little tooth. 1 have my tooth covering rnds 19 & 20 on the body, below and between the eyes. You can make the tooth just by using a simple in and out stitch (embroider it, it doesn't need to be anything fancy). After which, using a 4" piece of Black, add a little black line for the mouth, have the line go directly over the top of the tooth, my line was 4sc long.
