19. crochet the trunk, attach the thread from below (the bottom is the side where you stopped crocheting) into the resulting hole. I do not reset the row count, it is easier for me not to get confused further in the body. For the trunk, I will mark the rows (row 1, row 2, etc.)

We tighten the hole, do not fill the trunk. We return to the head, where we left the crocheting. Also, the trunk can be crocheted after you crochet and close the toy, the principle will not change.
Insert the eyes in the 10th row or along the edges of the trunk, stuff the head.
Continue crocheting the body.

Design
We make a comfortable tightening for you, embroider whites, eyelashes, eyebrows, contrasting stripes on the trunk.
Sew on the ears in the 6th row from MR at a distance of 4 sc from the eye. Before sewing, fold the ear in half and connect the two sides with two stitches.
The tip of the trunk can be slightly sewn or glued so that it does not stick out.
Tie a bow.
Congratulations!
Your toy is ready!
