-CH 5, turn your work, sc 4, ch1
-weave your tail into the middle of the bow, use your tail to wrap around the middle and sew into the hamster below the right ear.

Eye details:
Insert your yarn needle with some white yarn into a random stitch, bring up the yarn on one side of the eye and insert your needle on the opposite side of the eye. Bring the needle back to where you first inserted your yarn and tie ends together. hide ends in your project.

HAPPY CROCHETING!
