Duck in a Frog Hat crochet pattern

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

• Safety eyes with a printed glint 12 mm (on the head): in round 16, 10 st apart (count along round 16: about 5 st each side of the centre front line).
• Embroidered eyes (on the eye white) (2: one on each eye white; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in black thread, a oval about 9 mm wide and 9 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line.
• Eye glint (on the eye white) (2: one on each eye white; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in white thread over the embroidered eye, a oval about 2.6 mm wide and 2.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line, then moved 1.5 mm to the right and 1.8 mm up (looking at the toy's face).
• Embroidery in frogmouth thread (on the frog hat), straight stitches through: (between rounds 11 and 12, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 12, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 12 and 13, on the centre front line) → (in round 12, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (between rounds 11 and 12, 4 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
