Christmas Angel

The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.

• Embroidery in ink thread (on the head) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 14 and 15, 3.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 15, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left) → (between rounds 14 and 15, 5.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ).
