Make line with the yarn insert needle back in center hole at Rnd15.  Bring needle through Rnd9 pull yarn tail tightly. Repeat for more definition. Knot and fasten off. Weave tail in.  

Final Touches for Halloween King:
Cut black felt in 2 oval shapes. Sew eyes to front the face with thread. Making sure the eyes are evenly aligned so the booty is in the center back. Use black embroidery floss to add a nose and a cross-stitch mouth to the front of Halloween King’s face.
