Place some scrap brown yarn inside the muzzle so the “nostrils” are dark (see picture below). Place some stuffing inside to the hold the yarn and then place onto the head centred between the eyes and over initial rounds of the head. Stitch into place using a whipstitch and right before closing off, stuff completely. Finish off.
