Insert a plastic spout into the muzzle.
Head shaping
We sew the muzzle approximately between 13 and 21 next. We mark with pins where the eyes will be. They are located between 13 and 14 side by side, the distance between them is approximately 7 sc. In these places we make tightenings as follows: we insert a long needle with a thread into the base of the head and bring it out at the stitch of the first eye. We step aside 1 sc, enter the game at this stitch and bring it to the base of the head. The thread is well tightened and tied. We repeat the same with the second eye.
This is what the muzzle looks like after tightening:
Then, in the places of the tightening, we sew on the bead eyes. To make the eye more “alive”, we will make a stitch at the bottom of the eye with a white thread.
With a black thread, we embroider the eyebrows and mouth.
Next, sew on the ears, approximately at the level of the eighth row.

In the same way we knit the second leg, but we do not cut the thread, but continue to knit the body.
12 rnd: crochet 2 lifting loops and attach the first leg, tie 21 sc along it, then 2 sc in lifting loops, 21 sc in the second leg, 2 sc in lifting loops – 46 sc

Cast on 11 stitches on the needles and alternately knit 1 purl, 1 front stitch in a checkerboard pattern for about 20 cm, trying on a toy. Because my scarf is not removed, we sew it immediately on the dog.
