continue from rnd 4 with rounds. Make 1 chain at the end of each
row and turn the Watermelon to crochet the other way.

6 Sc in a MR, close with 1 Sl st. Leave a tail for sewing.
Sew on the blush below the eyes - for a no-sew version, you can use a

Apply glue to the strip, fold it into a C shape, and attach it between
the lower part of the eyes.
