# Make a chain of 5.
# Start in the second chain from your hook (skip the first).
# Along the first side of the chain: - In the first stitch: make 2 single crochet in the same stitch (this is an increase). - In the next stitch: make 1 single crochet. - In the next stitch: make 1 single crochet. - In the last chain: make 4 single crochet in that ''same'' stitch. This helps you turn around to the other side of the chain.
# Now crochet along the other side of the chain: - Make 1 single crochet in the next two stitches. - In the last stitch: make 2 single crochet in the same stitch. You should now have 12 stitches in a round.

This creates an oval.

===== Make 1 single crochet in each stitch all the way around. =====
Still 12 stitches.

Then change your yarn color.

===== You will work in the back loops only for most of this round. =====
This means instead of putting your hook under both loops, you only go under the loop farthest from you.
(If you don't know how, I can explain that too!)

What you do:
# Increase (2 single crochet in one stitch) — in the back loop only.
# 1 single crochet — back loop only.
# Increase — back loop only.
# Increase — back loop only.
# Increase — back loop only.
# 1 single crochet — back loop only.
# Increase — back loop only.
# Then the last 5 stitches are normal single crochet, not back loop only.

You should have 17 stitches now.

===== 1. Make 1 single crochet in the next 4 stitches. =====
# Then increase in the next 4 stitches (so: 2 single crochet in each of those).
# Then make 1 single crochet in the last 9 stitches.

Now you have 21 stitches.

===== - Put safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4, about 6 stitches apart. =====
* Tighten the middle of the muzzle by pulling on the yarn.
* Put the safety nose between rounds 2 and 3, right in the center between the eyes.

===== Do 1 single crochet in every stitch around for 2 rounds. =====
You still have 21 stitches.

===== The places where you worked in the back loop earlier — mark those spots because the ears will be attached there later. =====

===== 1. Make 1 single crochet in the next 4 stitches. =====
# Make 1 single crochet in the back loop only for the next 3 stitches.
# Then you will decrease two times: - A decrease is simply: crochet 2 stitches together into one.
# After the 2 decreases, make 3 more single crochet in the back loop only.
# Make 1 single crochet in the last 7 stitches.

Now you have 19 stitches.

===== 1. Make 1 single crochet in the next 5 stitches. =====
# Make 3 decreases in a row (crochet 2 stitches together, and repeat that 3 times).
# Make 1 single crochet in the next 8 stitches.

Now you have 16 stitches.

===== Repeat this 4 times: =====
→ Make 1 single crochet, 1 single crochet, then a decrease.
At the end you will have 12 stitches.

===== Make 1 single crochet in each of the 12 stitches. =====
