        through both sides. Cut the yarn, leaving a

        Do not stuff the nose. If desired, you can iron
        it with an iron before sewing so that it holds
        its shape better.
                                                                4

Assemble the Head:
Sew on the nose as per the photo 1 (with      stuffed, it is much more convenient to do
mustard yarn along the mustard part of        this). Now you can crochet the head
the nose).                                    completely (see page 7). Use the black yarn
