Inserting Safety Eyes:
- Place the eyes between Rounds 7 and 8, two stitches apart, ensuring they are centered.

Creating the Wings (if desired):
- On Round 10 or 11 (depending on your preference), after 7 single crochets, chain 4, then make a slip stitch in the second chain from the hook, single crochet in the next chain, and a half double crochet in the last chain. Continue with 10 single crochets, chain 4 for the second wing, and follow the same pattern.
