Assemble

Begin from sewing the nose in between R15 to R21. Then we will sew the pink pointy part to the center of the nose and around the head.

Sew on both ears at R7 counting from the edge of the pink area, in align with the nose bridge.

Take black yarn and sew on the eyes from above the nose (refer to the picture above), followed by the black nose as marked by the black highlighted part shown above. 

Sew on the pink cheeks (using pink thread) at 2 rows below the eyes and 3 stitches away from the nose.

Once done, attach the Head to the Body by sewing at 2 rows down from the ending and beginning of the stitches of the head and body. 

Sew on the feet at R8 & R9 of the body, 7 stitches apart. 

Sew the tail on to R8 (SS point) of the body and include the pearls while sewing. 

Lastly, take a long strand of white yarn and sew on the "inner ear" as shown on picture below.
