For eyes, use double lengths of black yarn, make knots winding yarn around six times until you have a nice oval shape
Postion eyes so top of eys is 10 rows above neck shaping and leave 10 sts between eyes.


Embroider 4 horizontal sts in pale yellow for the nose, with top of nose 7 rows above neck shaping row.
For whiskers, work three 1 cm sts beside each eye, leaving 2 sts between the side of the eye and the start of the whiskers.


For your girly gunny - if you want a Kalishna Kitty, simply sew on a AK style rifle.
