31) 1 sc in the next 4 st then 2 tog (30) – change colour on last st (white) Tip:
crochet the muzzle part harder/firmer than the rest of the head. It makes the

f/o and weave in and out of the remaining stitches and close the gap.
- Now, pull out a long thread of black yarn. Sew a muzzle on the top of the nose.

19) 1 sc in the next 2 st then 2 tog
f/o and weave in and out of the remaining stitches and close the gap. Pull the
thread through the body so it enters the top of the body (aka "the neck"). Leave
a long thread for sewing the body to the head. I mean, really long. Like longer
than you can believe.

the body/head-thing, but still long.
