Red Panda eyes - first

Red panda face: Instead of twisted stitches, use black for the eyes and white for the other face markings (red background). Instructions shown for one side of the face.

Knit stitches in the first round indicate the lines made by the increases in the muzzle. The purl row indicates repeating the pattern in reverse for the other eye.

Shown with a cast-on count of 58 stitches.   Getting chart...
