Leave a tail for sewing.

Shaping the muzzle
Find the middle point of the downside of the head between rounds 15 and 16. Use a long needle, insert it between increases and take it out in the bottom of the head. Look at it from all the sides, if the needle isn’t inserted correctly, change its position, mark these places with pins. Take main yarn and insert the needle with the yarn in the marked point in the bottom of the head, take it out in the top skipping one increase from the pin between rounds 11 and 12, skipping one increase at the right of the pin insert the needle and take it out in the bottom skipping one stitch form the yarn. Draw the yarn (to shape a small hole in the bottom of the head), tie and hide the ends in the head.

Sew ears, nose, eyes, embroider a smile (you can do as you wish at this stage)
Sew the head to the body (the muzzle should look a bit downwards, the hole on the head is the place for the neck).

Arms
Choose the length of the arms as you like. You can insert the wire as you wish. Stuff the hands a little only at the beginning, make a few stitches to make fingers.

Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 5 times [10]
