Embroider Jellyfish Eyes

Use black yarn to embroider french knot for the eyes.Thread in through head and out to the desired eye location.

Without removing yarn from the needle, place tip of needle close to the surface of the face. Loop yarn close to the face around needle twice.

Insert eye back into intended eye position and out through head again. Do not pull the yarn taut because the whole knot will go into the head. Instead, when pulling needle out of the head, pull gently so that the knot stays on the face.
