sl st next st and f/o leaving a long tail for sewing. Add in the nostrils before or after
sewing snout to head. If you do them before you will have to be mindful of centering. I
prefer to put them in after. You can use French Knots or just add a whip stitch or 2, it's up
to you.  Partially stuff then sew most of the snout in place then stuff it completely
before sewing up the remaining gap.

Tongue:

2sc in each (12) 
f/o and weave in yarn tail
place wrong sides of the mouth and the tongue together, sew the end of the tongue to the
mouth as pictured. Please note I borrowed this photo from my larger moose pattern. This
is exactly the same and sewn together the same as the one you just made only larger. 

You can sew the mouth to the snout before or after you sew the snout to the head. I prefer
after but  you do what will work best for you. Sew the back end of mouth overand around
the 12th to the 14th row of the snout and leave the front of the mouth open. I sewed the
mouth off to one side a bit and not right in the center, that way you can see the mouth
more.

Antler Points:
For the points, flatten the antler then pull yarn through the side of the antler. ch1, put
in 3hdc and f/o leaving a bit of a tail for shaping.
On each side of the antler:
The 1st point, pull the yarn through in between the 5th and 6th row
The 2nd point  in between the 10th and 11th row
The 3rd point  in between the 14th and 15th row
You can use some anchor stitches to hold the pipe cleaners in place. I didn't feel the need
to do that with this smaller moose. But if you want to add them please view the antler
section of my larger moose for those instructions.

MOOSE ASSEMBLY: Take your time when sewing. Take breaks when you need them.
Use pins to hold the parts in place and play around with the placements to be sure you are
happy with how the parts look before sewing them in permanently. 

1) sew the arms on the 24th row or the 2nd row below the head.
2) sew on the legs. I have a video showing how I sew the Little Bigfoot Legs on righthere
3) sew on the snout. Row 15 of the snout should be on or touching row 13 and the bottom
on or touching row 19 of the head . You can also sew the mouth piece on now if you
haven't already. See instructions for sewing in the mouth and tongue section above
4) sew the tail in between the 32nd and 33rd row.
5) sew antlers on the 3rd and 4th row. The pipe cleaners need to be wiggled into place.
This part takes a bit of time but they will go in. Sew all around the edge of the antler and
pull your stitches tight.
6) sew  the ears on the 5th and 6th row.
