Muzzle: Between R12-15.
Ears: Between R9-10, 3 stitches behind the eyes.
Horns: Between R6-7, just above the ears.

Tips and Tricks

• Invisible Decrease: Use this technique for a smooth, professional finish on Coco’s head and body.
• Stuff As You Go: Add stuffing gradually, especially for the short arms and legs, to avoid lumps.
• Neat Color Changes: When switching to reddish-brown for the hooves, complete the last yarn over of the previous stitch with the new color for a clean transition.
• Muzzle Placement: Pin the muzzle before sewing to ensure it sits evenly between the eyes for Coco’s sweet expression.
• Ear Shaping: Gently curve the ears when sewing to enhance their rounded, floppy look.
