Secret of crafting: Embroidering simple eyes

Today I will share my simple way of embroidering the eyes of such a Dog.

I will use a large doll head with clearly distinguishable stitches so that you see everything.

Also I will use the embroidery thread consists of 6 thin threads.

1 For each eye I use 2 holes in the lower row and 1 hole on 1 row above.

2 Tie a knot on the embroidery thread, enter a needle from the back of the head and output it into the left lower point of the right eye. Make a stitch to the right, skipping one hole, output the needle at the top point.

3 Put the resulting stitch over the needle and pull the thread.

4 Insert the needle again into the top hole, and output to the bottom left hole

5 Make a stitch again in the right hole, pass the needle to the right bottom hole of the 2nd (left) eye

6 Repeat the same for the left eye: the stitch to the left with the exit at the top

 point

7 Input the needle into the same upper point and output into the right lower point

8 Make the stitch to the left and pull the thread on the back of the head.

9 Embroider with a black thread the pupil inside the resulting blue triangle.

Fasten both threads at the back of the head with tiny stitches. For the Dog, you can make them on the neck, under the collar. For another doll use such places as a line sewing the ears or head. Hide the tails of the threads inside the head. About the thickness of the embroidery thread. Use as many thin threads as you need for your doll. For my dog I used 2 ply threads. To fill the pupil completely, you may need a 3 ply thread. Note: In my opinion, the embroidered eyes are suitable more for dolls crocheted of fine yarn. For dolls crocheted with hook more than 2 mm, it is better to use crocheted eyes.
