EYE ASSEMBLY:

Using yarn needle and white tail, sew front eye pieces onto back.  Thread the yarn through the back (green) part of eye just below the outer row of stitches, so that the green shows in a “rim” around the white part of eye when looking at it from the front.
Using yarn needle and green tail, sew eye to top of hat.
