Place eyes between rounds 12 and 13, leaving 9 holes between them. 1st eye is placed after the 2nd increase. Count 9 holes after the first eye and place the 2nd eye. If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until row 26.
TIP! You may have to adjust the eye placement depending on yarn and hook size you use.
22. (7 sc, dec) x 6= 48
23. (6 sc, dec) x 6= 42
24. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
25. (4 sc, dec) x 6= 30
26. (3 sc, dec) x 6= 24
Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the needle in the hole where the first eye was and thread the needle into a hole next to the eye hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you reach the look you want. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for extra help on this process.
To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the washers on the eyes then re stuff it.

Assembly
Head and Body:
1. Take a very long strand of pink yarn, thread your needle with it. Insert the needle into the magic ring and bring the needle to a stitch on top of the nose between rounds 2 and 3. Bring the needle back down to the magic ring to start embroidering the nose.
Pull the yarn to tighten it up and repeat about 12 more times. Weave in the yarn tails.
2. Pin the head to the body for extra support.
3. Sew the head to the body, you may need to add more stuffing as you sew.
Arms:
1. Pin the arms approximately between rounds 36 and 37, on the side of the body.
2. Sew the arms onto the body.
Sleeves:
1. Pin the sleeves onto the body. Wrap the sleeve around the top over the arms. Pin in
the back and the front.
2. Sew the sleeves onto the body on the front, back and sides. Weave in the tails.
Ears:
1. Pin the ears onto the top of the head approximately between rounds 20 and 21.
2. Sew the ears onto the head.
Tail:
1. If you want the tail, Pin the tail onto the back of the body approximately between rounds 12 and 13 underneath the skirt. I did not want a tail on my girl mouse so I have no pictures for that.
2. Sew the tail onto the body.
Embellishments:
1. Pin the purple waistband around the body. Sew the band onto the body.
2. If you want the rhinestones, place one on the front of the sleeves with glue or get self adhesive rhinestones. I chose to place one on since this was for my daughter that is 7 years old. I would not recommend for children under 3 years of age.
3. Cut a long strand of black embroidery thread. Thread your needle and embroider 3 lines next to each eye for eyelashes.
4. Add some blush to the cheeks with actual blush if you want.
