playing with those same steps and stitches will result in different types of eyes, and a longer needle can make it easier for bigger projects.
I would also suggest you go in through the bottom or back further away and exit the same place, cut yarn, then a little squish to bury the threads in the interior of the body instead of tying knots.

I actually love embroidering my eyes in instead of safety eyes cause it looks cuter

And it’s safer
They used to give that advice regularly when talking about making or buying handmade gifts for small children. Not to make/select items with detachable eyes. My daughter glues them on then sews them in place with thread to make sure they are very secure and flat… Flat makes them hard to pluck off

Basically just get some black thread and stitch a small line in between the stitch’s making sure that your piece is open cause then you can tie a knot in the back keep on stitching until you get something that resembles a circle and the tie a knot in the back

Flat work will look different stuffed, you can also pull from the interior to add extra shape, like eye sockets. And I mentioned burying the end instead of knots because knots always seem to find a way back to the surface or coming undone
