Final Details
Cheeks and Nose:
Embroider pink yarn across two stitches in between the eyes to start the nose. Embroider pink underneath each eye for cheeks.
Using a thinner black yarn (I used cotton worsted weight) embroider a small Y shape underneath the pink of the nose.
Ears:
In line with the eyes and 2-3 stitches back, insert your hook and chain 3. Starting in the second chain from the hook, make 2 Sc back down the chain, then slip stitch back into the head.
Tail:
If desired, make a tail on the rump with a 5-DC BOB using white yarn.
