Assembly.
I suck at this part of pattern writting.  The best I can tell you to do is look at the photos, and go from there for the sewing of everything together.
Once you have your Unitato all sewn together, give them all their face, ear, and horn details with either black fabric paint, or black sewing thread.  Cut out a tongue shape from your felt, and either sew or glue it to the Unitato's muzzle.

Tada!
