When making toys one of the final and important steps is to embroider facial features. If your toy is going to a small child it is important that the facial features especially the eyes are not going to become a choking hazard. My favorite method for making child safe eyes is the French knot.

When making French Knots I use a long tapestry needle with a sharp end. I also usually use the same weight of yarn that I used to make the toy.
