Place eyes between rounds 9 and 10, leaving 10 holes between them. Place the 1st eye after the 2nd increase. Count 10 holes after that and place the 2nd eye. If you want the sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 21. Place the nose between rounds 2 and 3, in between the eyes.

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 insert 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.
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 long strand of black thread and thread your needle. Insert the needle into a hole above the eyes. Bring the needle to a hole a few rounds above the eye. Embroider an eyebrow. Repeat for the 2nd side. Weave in any tail ends.

2. If you want to add sleepy eyes. Thread your needle with a long strand of gray yarn.
Insert the needle into a hole in between the eyes. Bring the needle up to a corner on the inside of the eye. Wrap the needle around the front of the eye and insert the needle into a hole on the outside of the eye. Pull tightly.

Repeat one more time. Repeat for the 2nd eye. Weave in any yarn tails.

Fins:
1. Thread your needle with a long strand of black embroidery thread. Insert the needle into a hole on the back of the fin. Bring the needle to a hole in between rounds 5 and 6.

Bring the needle around the front of the fin to the back. Insert the needle into a hole and embroider a line. Repeat 3 more times. You will want the lines one hole apart from each other. Weave in any tail ends.

2. Turn the body upside down and pin the fins onto the body approximately between rounds 16 and 20.

Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors Used:
1. Gray: I love this yarn Light gray
You can use different eye sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you change the sizes.
You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your seal and you might need to adjust eye and nose placement.
How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your seal turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
You can also use different yarn weights. You will just need to adjust your hook sizes and eye/nose sizes.
