PART 5: ASSEMBLY 1. Turn the body upside down and identify the center. Using the tail left over from finishing off the belly patch, begin stitching the pig nose in the center of the pig. Now you can measure the distance between the nose and the eyes. Attach the eyes. If using plastic safety eyes, push the shaft through both the white crocheted piece and the portion of the body.
