Staff, insert the lower part of button joint.
Button joint is made with 2 buttons and wire. Take a button (about 2-3 cm in diameter) with 2 holes and a piece of wire about 5 cm long. Bend the wire into U shape and insert into button holes.
Insert this into the body – the button inward, the wire outwards – then decrease, working around the wire, closing the opening, leave 6-7 sc. Cut off yarn, weave in the end.
Do not overdo it: while turning, the wire can rub too small of an opening.
Head
Crochet in a spiral with no lifting chains, stuff as you go, tight but not deforming the shape.
6 ch in a circle (6 ch, sl st in the 1st chain). This is the opening for the joint, connecting the head with the body.

If you are using safety eyes, it’s time to insert them.
On the head find place to insert the eyes – 21 rounds
Place the eyes, see if you like how they look there. Use scissors to widen the gap between the stitches (do not cut, just puncture), insert the eyes and secure the clamp.
Attaching the head to the body:
Take the body, with the wire sticking out, pull both ends of the wire through the opening in the head (not stuffed), and through the holes in the button that you place inside the head (the button must be big, so that the head doesn’t lean to the side), twist the wire ends together, making sure that the head can be turned with a little bit of force.

Complete knitting. Cut off yarn, weave in the end.
Do contractions now, using thread (yarn) and needle: pull the thread from both corners of the eye to the neck, making cheeks.
If you are doing contractions (needle sculpting) for the first time, here is how:
You will need a long needle and thread (yarn). Making right cheek.
Thread the needle (you will need about 30cm of thread), tie a knot on one end.
Attach the thread to the front of the head close to the button edge, hiding the knot inside the head.
Insert the needle with the thread in the directions shown in the photo below: first from neck to the inside corner of the eye. Pull, until you get a plump cheek. Hold the cheek with your fingers, now sew in the opposite direction, skipping one stitch. Pull more and fix with a knot.
Do not cut the end. Skip 2-3 stitches to the left (hiding the thread inside the head), fix the thread with a knot. Insert the needle and exit it through the outer corner of the eye. Pull the thread, sew in the opposite direction, skipping a stitch.
Fix with a knot. Repeat for the other eye.
