Secure working yarn with a stitch marker so we can place the eyes and snout.
Place 12mm safety eyes between R11-R12, leaving 7 stitches open between the eyes.
Pin the snout in between the eyes.
Sew the top of the snout between R10-R11.
Sew the bottom of the snout between R15-R16.
Stuff lightly as you sew around.
Secure the safety eyes.
Begin to stuff the head and continue as you crochet. Make sure not to overstuff. You want the top to lay somewhat flat.
R18: (dec, sc) 8 times {16 sts}
R19: (dec) 8 times {8 sts}
Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the head shut.
