Attach at middle bottom stitch with slip stitch.

Chain 100 3 single crochet in first 12 chains, slip stitch in the rest to beg chain, slip stitch in joining finish off.

With black, thread a needle and stitch eyes and nose. Eyes are X's under the ears. Nose is a Star stitch over the hole in the beginning.

single crochet decrease= put the needle in one stitch and yarn over and pull through a loop and put the needle in the second stitch and yarn over and pull through a loop and yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on the hook.

Does that make sense?
