Stuff well. Place the nose between R11 and R12 in the middle of the face. If you are using large eyes (larger than 15mm) place the eyes at the same level as the nose (between R11 and R12). If not, add eyes one row above the nose (between R10 and R11). The eyes look cuter if they are ~2-3 sts away from the nose on each side. Try the distance that looks best to you and once you are happy with it, fix them in place. See pictures for reference.
