Daisy Face Embroidery
Daisy Eye Indentation
Create a depression for each eye by inserting a doubled thread from the back of the head, coming through the front near the eyes, pulling gently, and tying off at the back. This creates a natural-looking eye socket. Refer to your pattern images for placement.
Daisy Eyebrows
Embroider eyebrows 5 rows above the eyelashes, with a width of 3 sc. Insert needle from bottom row.
Daisy Nose
Embroider the nose 1 row below the eyes with a width of 3 sc using the wrapping technique.
Daisy Mouth
Embroider the mouth 4 rows below the nose with a width of 2 sc.
Daisy Cheeks
After completing all embroidery, fill any hollow areas with stuffing to create well-defined facial features.
Daisy Ears
Left Ear (bottom to top)
Count 7 sc from the eyelash to the side, then place on row 5. Create the ear with: sc, dc, tr, dc, sc.
Right Ear (top to bottom)
Use the same placement as the left ear. Stitch pattern is the same.
Note: For eye embroidery, I worked the first eye line without splitting the yarn. If your yarn is thin, you can use doubled yarn. For the upper lines, split the yarn and use a single strand.
