We turn to crocheting with textured yarn (I change hook from No. 1.75mm to No. 2mm or 2.5mm, depending from yarn):
If you use eyes on a secure mount, then put them between the 17th and 18th rows (keep in mind that the section of the row with 6 increments forms the forehead of the lamb).
Between the eyes (optional) 4-6 sc.
