Notes

Ms. Jennifer is a design genius.
The shaping details are quite meticulous.

White rhinos are also known as the square-lipped rhinoceros due to their square (not pointed) upper lip. Their name comes from the Dutch-Afrikaan word “weit”, which means wide and refers to the animal’s muzzle. Weit, pronounced ‘vite’ in Dutch and German, became ‘white’…

White rhinos have a longer forehead / nose bridge area than black rhinos.
Black rhinos have a more pointed snout / muzzle area.

New Stitch Alert!!!
designated as:
< dec >
It is actually an increase between two sc’s.
The stitch motion borrows from a traditional dec.

Another specialty decrease used in this design:
2 in 3 dec: 2 stitches across three resulting in one decrease.
