Eyes (Make 2)
Round 1 – With black yarn, sc 6 in magic ring Fasten off leaving tail to attach to dragonfly body
Use white yarn or embroidery thread to create glow in eyes
Sew or glue into desired location
OR if using safety eyes, attach in desired location.
Assembly
Align dragonfly pieces so that edges match. With front facing you, single crochet through both pieces in a counter-clockwise direction to attach front to back. Remember to switch colors if you want the edge colors to match. Leave opening to stuff (do not overstuff), finish closing, fasten off and weave in ends. *** I highly recommend taking request breaks to stuff while attaching pieces.
