Crochet Tissue Box Face - REVISION

It took two tries but I think I finally have it right.  I made the hole larger, the septum was removed, and a very slight modification on the nose.  I sort of made this one to look like Robert DeNiro.

NOTE: If you are using a thinner yarn, you will need to do more rows. Check your work by fitting the cover over your box.
