Again from the centre count 3 stitches to the right and insert a dressmaking pin No 2. These are the inner sides of the eye pits between the lower part of the eyes and the cheeks. Now count a further 4 stiches to the left from the dressmaking pin No 1. Insert a dressmaking pin No 3. Do the same for the other side. Insert the dressmaking pin No 4.  These are the outer sides of the eye pits between the lower part of the eyes and the cheeks. See pictures for guidance. To sculpt the place between the eyes and the cheeks use a piece of smooth yarn (light green colour) and a needle. Insert the needle in Marker No 4 from the inside, take it out and insert the needle in Marker No 2 from the outside. Take the needle out in Marker No 1 and insert it in Marker No 3. Tighten and make a knot. Cut off.
