R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Sew onto the head, ensuring that it is centered with the snout. Stuff as you sew on.

Ears

R1: 6 sc in a magic ring

R2: 6 inc (12)

R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)

Fold the ear in half and place a sl st in the 3rd stitch of the last round to keep it folded. Fasten off and sew onto the head, on either side of the horn, about 3 stitches away from the horn. 

Hair Curls (Make 5-7) 

Chain 20. Beginning in the second chain from the hook, place 3 sc in each chain stitch. This will create a spiral. Twist it around your finger to shape it into a curl.

Attach them onto the back of the head right behind the horn. I like to do 2 rows of 3 curls. Attach by using your hook to thread one of the ends of a curl through a stitch. Use the two tails to do a triple knot and then weave in the ends. 

Tail (Make 3)

Chain 12. Beginning in the second chain from the hook, place 3 sc in each stitch down the chain. Fasten off.

This will create a spiral. Twist it around your finger to shape it into a curl.

Attach them onto the back, centered between the legs and about 4 rounds up from the bottom. Attach by using your hook to thread one of the ends of a curl through a stitch. Use the two tails to do a triple knot and then weave in the ends.
