Shaping the eyes
Note: this step is optional. You can skip it if you are happy with how your bunny looks.
1. Insert the needle at the bottom center of the head, and bring it out at the inner bottom corner of the right eye (from the front view).
2. Insert the needle in the outer top corner of the same eye and bring it out at the top corner of the left eye.
3. Insert the needle at the inner bottom corner of the same eye and bring it out at the bottom center of the head, at the same spot where you first inserted the needle.
4. The yarn should be directed into the inner sides of the eyes before pulling the strands.
5. Pull the two strands of yarn at the bottom of the head gently to shape the eyes, then tie a knot, cut the ends, and hide it inside the plushie.

Straps for the dress
Take a strand of yarn in the dress colour and insert the needle at the top side of the dress, then bring it to the same point at the back to create a loop around the arm. Secure the ends with a knot and hide them inside the body.
Repeat on the other side.
