For the eyes use your F hook, and black yarn:
Single crochet 6 in a round. Join, and leave a tail for sewing. Repeat the steps to make two.

Sew the eyes onto the head, and then using black yarn, sew on a nose and a mouth. Finally, sew the head onto the front of the cozy, making sure the seam is on the back side
