Sew closed then crochet 3 chains then crochet back towards head picking up the first 3 chains and then pick one up on the head next to ear.  Do this to both sides.  (you should be able to string your long tail through the top so you don't have to cut and re-attach for other ear) Knot off the last ear but don't cut.  Draw the yarn down through the head and wrap around the neck drawing it tight and knotting it off.

Pick up three stitches at the base with double pointed needles (this will be the tail)

Work in I cord for about 1/2 inch or until a pleasing length has been met. Sew in yarn ends.

Make French knots for eyes in the yellow.
