Put both circles together, wrong sides in, using the tail from circle #1, whip stitch the two circles together using your yarn needle through 4 stitches. Your working loop should be on the outside of the circle and not stitched through.
When you are done, you will have a figure “8” shape.

Add eyes and begin stuffing, the more stuffing the better…don’t be shy with it. You want the finished hear to be firm to the touch.
R22-*sc2tog, 1sc in next stitch*, repeat from * around, mm
R23-sc in each stitch around, FO leaving a tail
Finish stuffing and use the tail to sew the hole shut tight.
With scrap black yarn, add a simple v-shaped smile!
