Begin here:
Pointy Head (using cream):

R9 (6, INC) 4 times (32)
R10 (7, INC) 4 times (36)
R11 (8, INC) 4 times (40)
R12 sc around.
Before continuing, find where you want the face to be and squish nose area flat. Whip stitch vertically until you have a dense nose (brown yarn) (pic below).
R13 sc around (Insert eyes after this round. For the example, I have placed the eyes between rounds 9 and 10, nine stitches apart.)

Ears (make 2):
R1 Magic circle with 6 sts into the loop.
R2 INC around (12)
R3 (1, INC) around (18). Finish off leaving tail. Fold in half with the wrong sides facing in and attach to the head.
Horns:
These can be a little tricky to do. Fortunately, they are quick enough that if you have to do them again (to make them even more perfect!!), it won’t be too much effort.
R1 Magic circle with 3 sts into the loop.
R2 2, INC (4).
R3 3, INC (5).
R4 1 hdc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 2dc in next st, 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc (7).
R5 1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next 2 st, 2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st. 1 sc (9) Bind off. Leave tail for sewing, attach to head.
Whiskers:
Wrap brown yarn around your fingers 8 times. Cut at one end so you have 8 “whiskers”. Attach in “latch hook” style to the chin. Trim whiskers.
