Cast off.

Match then mattress stitch the row ends to join along the front of the body - stuff the body through the open cast off end at the head - at the same times adding the eyes - then mattress join the cast off edge to form the front of the head.
Along this front of head seam work a single long stitch then over that stitch work buttonhole stitch.
