2. Mouth Positioning: Embroider the mouth between the 6th and 7th rounds, with a 2-stitch gap for separation.
3. Eye Positioning: Place the eyes between the 9th and 10th rounds, ensuring there are 2 stitches between the eyes and each eye.
4. Eyebrow Positioning: Position the eyebrows between the 11th and 12th rounds, using 3 stitches for each eyebrow and ensuring a 4-stitch gap between the two eyebrows.
