Eyes: If using beads as eyes, make sure and string them up before you begin. On the sections where you do 8 fpdc (to-go) or 8 bpdc (mug) of row 8, you will place the eyes in stitch 4 and 6 of the 8 stitches. Do do this, do you stitch as usual, but right before your final yarn over, pull a bead up to your hook and finish the stitch as normal, making sure the bead stays on the appropriate side.
