You may need to wiggle it around to get it to go in. Now insert the other side of the wooden dowel into the bottom of the head (rnd. 24). Next with your 6” sew the head and the body together.
Now you need to sew the muzzle to the head. Sew the muzzle to the head between rnd. 10 and to the head, one rnd. up from where the body and head are attached.
NOTE: I strongly suggest you pin this piece and every other piece on BEFORE you sew it together. To ensure you’re happy with the placement!
Stomach Patch:
Using White
(Note: When working in rows. DO NOT ch1, it give a straighter edge without the ch1. This principle applies to whole pattern.)
Row 1: ch4, 2sc in 1st ch from hook, sc in next ch, 2sc in last ch, turn (5)
Row 2: 2sc in 1st sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2sc in last sc, turn (7)

Row 25: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 5 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, F/O (7) leave a very long tail to sew stomach patch to body. Sew the stomach patch to the body between rnds. 8 & 34 on the body, with
Row 1 at the top. Once you have that complete add some details by using a 15” piece of Black. Simply make a black line around the outside of the stomach patch using a simple in and out stitch.
Under Muzzle:
Using White
Row 1: ch15, sc in 1st ch from hook and last 13 ch, turn (14)
Rows. 2-15: (sc in each sc), across, turn (14)
Row 16: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 10 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (12)
Row 17: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 8 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, F/O (10) leave 15” to sew Under Muzzle to the muzzle. Sew the piece to the bottom of the “Muzzle” with Row 1 directly next to where the muzzle is sewed to the head and out to rnd. 8 on the muzzle. (Make sure you sew it to the MIDDLE on the bottom of the muzzle.)
NOTE: the next two pieces will be sewed on just about at the same time… same time…
Nose:
Starting w/Black
Row 1: ch2, 2sc in 1st ch from hook, turn (2)
Row 2: 2sc in both sc, turn (4)
Row 3: 2sc in 1st sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2sc in last sc, turn (6)

Row 5: 2sc in 1st sc, sc in next 6 sc, 2sc in last sc, turn (10)
Row 6: 2sc in 1st sc, sc in next 8 sc, 2sc in last sc, turn (12) you’re at the middle corners now
Row 7: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 8 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (10)
Row 8: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 6 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (8)
Row 9: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 4 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (6)
join White
Row 10: sc around whole piece w/3sc in each corner, join w/sl st in st sc, F/O (?) leave 10” to sew with in later steps. For now only PIN the nose to the end of the muzzle. Starting at the bottom on the nose having it covering rnd. 1 on the muzzle, pin it there. Now pin the two middle corners of the nose where they rest on the muzzle. Now set the body to the side for now…
Muzzle Stripe:
Using Pumpkin
Row 1: ch21, sc in 1st ch from hook and last 19 ch, turn (20)
Row 2: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 16 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (18)
Row 3: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 14 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (16)
Row 4: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 12 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (14)
Row 5: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 10 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (12)
Row 6: sc dec 1st 2 sc tog, sc in next 8 sc, sc dec last 2 sc tog, turn (10)
Rows 7-20: (sc in each sc), across, turn (10) F/O leave a very long tail to sew the Muzzle Stripe to the muzzle. Again you have to pin this piece on first. Starting with Row 20. You want Row 20 on the muzzle directly next to where the muzzle and head meet. Now at the opposite end, where the nose is, you need to pin Row 1’s corners to the middle/sides of the nose. Refer to pictures: Finish pinning the rest of the Muzzle stripe. Now that you have that done you can start sewing the muzzle stripe to the muzzle. Sew around till you get to the nose, before you finish sewing the muzzle stripe to the top of the nose stuff the space in between it a little, not much, than continue to sew muzzle stripe on. (Be careful when stuffing. I was poked by one of the pins. It didn’t feel good.)
Once you have the muzzle stripe on and sewed you can sew the nose to the muzzle using the left over White from the nose.
