When you have finished the first leg, fasten off and weave in the yarn tail. But don’t
fasten off at the second leg.
First Leg
1 ➢ 6sc in the magic ring

Connect second leg with a sc to the last stitch of the first leg.
1 ➢ Make 4 chain to join two legs and make sc into each stitch around, total 32 stitches
(for beginners: sc in each of next 12 stitch from first leg, sc in each of next 4 stitch on chain,

Now this is the back of the body. This is the new beginning of the round. If you are
using a stitch marker, place it here.
2-11 ➢ 32sc (10 rounds)
12 ➢ (6sc, 1dec)*4 =28sc
13-19 ➢ 28sc (7 rounds)
NOTE: When you combine the arms with the body, they will appear a little behind the body.
If you have followed the pattern exactly and made the stitches completely, do not worry, it
is normal for the arms to appear on the back. As you continue crocheting, the arms will fit
the body properly.
