Do not cut the yarn. Stuff the head, place the muzzle against it, and sew it on. Now insert the eyes and nose. Insert the eyes between rounds 7 and 8 of the muzzle, with a distance of about 12 sc between them. Insert the nose between rounds 1 and 2. To make it easier to secure the eyes and nose, it is better to remove the stuffing. Stuff the head again and continue crocheting.
