Eyes made with a French or colonial knot can be added to plush toys before or after turning and stuffing. This step-by-step video tutorial will teach you how to make eyes that are safe for babies and small children using both a colonial and a French knot. This is a handy skill for making lovey blankets, dolls, and amigurumi."
