Christmas Pudding Ornament

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.

• Embroidered eyes (on the pudding ball) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in black thread, a oval about 5.4 mm wide and 6.6 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 14, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left .
• Eye glint (on the pudding ball) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in snow white thread over the embroidered eye, a oval about 1.8 mm wide and 1.8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 14, 4.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left , then moved 1 mm to the right and 1.6 mm up (looking at the toy's face).
