What do you think of my knitted eyelids on the crocheted eyes? I think they give the eyes a little extra something. My next complication will be the nose. I'm considering either making it entirely out of felt, crocheting a circle and embroidering the mouth and nose, or knitting a 3-dimensional cone that I would stuff and maybe insert a plastic bear nose into. In either case, I plan on making it in a lighter contrasting color. Any thoughts on what you think would look best? I think I'll probably end up making all three and seeing if there's one that stands out to me.

I love how the eyes look! As for the nose, tough call. I think your knit or crochet option will probably look best in a lighter color. The felt would give you the greatest control over the shape but you've done such a nice job with the project so far, I feel like a face of completely yarn would tie it all together even more. Either way, I can't wait to see the finished product! Yay for cute fingerless mitts! :)
Funny, I would have gone with a black nose, but I'm not sure why! I love how the eyelids make them look ever so slightly sleepy :) Very cute pattern
Those are looking awesome! For the nose, I'd probably do the 3-d nose (which I'm actually planning on doing for a bear hat I'm making right now) just to make it a bit more epic. But it would look great either way.
