Insert the safety eyes around R29, leaving about 5 or 6 stitches between them. Check the placement before securing them.

R8-9: 10 sc (10)

Ss, fasten off with long tail for sewing.
Finish stuffing the leg.
Paper flap:
Work in rows.
Row 1: ch 15. Leave a long tail for sewing to the body.
Row 2: starting in second ch from the hook, 14 sc, ch 1 and turn (14)
Row 3: 14 sc, ch1 and turn (14)
Row 4: 14 sc, ch 1 and turn (14)
Row 5: 14 sc, ch 1 and turn (14)
Row 6: 14 sc, ch 1, and fasten off (14)
Assembly:
Sew the legs to the body. I placed them slightly wider apart than the eyes and left one unworked round between the legs and the bottom of the body.
Sew the paper flap wherever you like. I recommend sewing the side with the foundation chain to the body, as this edge is flatter and will lie more neatly against the body.
Using a strand of black yarn, embroider a mouth.
Weave in all remaining ends.
