This is the pattern I would use to make animals with pointier noses: Sharks, fish, foxes...
I am currently working on adding a version of this pattern for a rounder nose for animals such as bunnies, unicorns, cows, goats.
Hopefully I will have that pattern online the beginning of April.
Basic Puppet - Pointed nose
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn
Hook - 6mm
Note: The smaller the hook and yarn, the smaller the final piece will be. The heavier the yarn and larger the hook the final piece will be larger. I find that the worsted weight and a size 6mm hook works best for my tension.
Instructions:
Top Jaw
ML, sc 6
*Sc, sc inc* repeat around. (9sc)

Mark off 12 sts even across the back of the top jaw portion. See photo #2 below. You will be working slip sts across the next 12 sts on the rnd of the bottom jaw AND through the 12 marked sts of the top jaw to join them together. See photo #3 and #4. DO NOT FASTEN OFF

After joining the jaw pieces with the sl sts, ch 1. Sc in the same st on the bottom jaw as the last sl st, mark this st as the beg of your rnd. Sc the next 12 sts around. Sc in the next st on the bottom (the last st will be in the same st as a sl st) you should have 14 sts around the bottom jaw. Sc the 1st sc around the top jaw in the same st as the sl st from joining. Sc in the next 16 sts the last sc will be in the same st as a sl st from joining. 17 sts around the top piece of jaw. 31 sts total around for the body. Do not join. Continue working in rnds.
