To make the nostrils:


On R 7 of the head, join C1yarn in line with the safety eyes (starting from the right of the eye for
right handed people). 1sc into the first st, 1dc into the next 2 stitches on R 8, 1sc into the 4 thst in
R 7. 
FO. Weave in yarn tails
Repeat this on the other side in line with the other eye. 
Clue 7 - Assembly:
Using the yarn tail left from the body, sew to the head between approx. R 22-28 of the head
with the eyes at the top. If you would like a shorter, fatter snout, lightly push the start and end
rounds of the head towards each other to compact it. 

Sew the arms to front sides of the body. There should be approx. 5st between the two. 

Sew the legs to either side of the body between R 6-9 in a seated position with the and the toes
(decrease stitches of the feet) pointing up. They are angled out so that the arms sit between
them and rest on the ground. 

Pinch the ears in half at the bottom with the WS together. Sew approx. two stitches to keep the
curved/folded shape. 

Sew the ears to approx. R 29-31 of the head. Spread them approx. 13 stitches apart. 

Sew the tail to the bottom back of the body. Cut approx. 12 strands of C2 approx. 10cm (4”) long
and attach them to the first two rounds of clue 4 (the tail). Fold the yarn strands in half then use
a crochet hook to pull the loop between two stitches and pull the ends through the loop to
secure in place. Trim to size. You can also run a blunt needle through the strands to give them a
fuzzy appearance.
