Head

With light gray yarn:
1. Round: mr, sc 6 = [6]
2. Round: raise x 6 = [12]
3. Round: (sc, inc) x 6 = [18]
4. Round: (sc 3, inc) x 4, sc 2 = [22]
5-9. Rounds: sc = [22]
10. Round : (sc 3, dec) x 4, sc 2 = [18]
11. round: (sc 5, dec) x 2, sc 4 ​​= [16]
12-14 Rounds: sc = [16] in each stitch

Stuff the little rhino ‘s nose tightly. Place the safety toy eyes from the round end to the other side, between rows 12 and 13, leaving 5 stitches (count 4 holes) between them.

15. Round: (sc 2, dec) x 4 = [12]
