Finishing a toy...

Hi there, I’m a beginner knitter and i’m having trouble understanding my pattern instructing for finishing a knitted toy.
Here’s the part : « Halfway up from cast on edge run gathering thread across all sts. Run each end of thread diagonally towards cast off edge to meet in the middle of cast off edge.
Pull both ends of thread slightly to form shape of head. Insert toy stuffing in head and pull thread tightly to form head and ears. »

What does it mean?? Halfway up from cast on edge? Basically my final piece is 72 rows of 39 garter sts. And it’s suppose to look like a little rabbit at the end… help please!

This site shows the lines of sts needed to shape the bunny ( if it’s the pattern I’m thinking of).
