ASSEMBLY:

Sew in place just above the muzzle, it should stretch to between round 9 and 10 of the head. Make sure you stretch the sides so the width is approximately the same as the muzzle.

Using a long tail of color A, make 2 long stitches across the muzzle to cover up where the two parts join.

For the eyes, these will sit on bottom of the half circle, just above the muzzle. Using color C, make a stitch on the outside of round 1, across the height of one stitch. Go over the same stitch 4 times.

For the eyebrows, these will sit just above where the half-circle ends. Using color C, count 4 stitches in between, make a stitch across 3 stitches down the side of the half circle, go over once more.
