2. [inc] x6 (12)

3. sc in each stitch around (12)

4. sc in each stitch around (12)

5. sc in each stitch around (12)

DO NOT CUT YARN – you are now going to join all

the legs together.

For the next round (joining legs) you will be working

into SIX stitches only on each leg.

6. sc in 6 stitches on each leg, ending with 6sc

around leg EIGHT – for your last 6sc, count 6
stitches back from the original join so that you
end in the correct place when crocheting on leg
EIGHT (48)

7. BLO sc in each stitch around (48)

8. [dec] x24 (24)

9. [2sc, dec] x6 (18)

10. [1sc, dec] x6 (12)

11. [dec] x6 (6)

Cut yarn, thread needle and run through the outside

loops of the last 6 stitches, pull tight then weave in.

TOP OF LEGS AND BODY

Flip leg section over.

You will now be crocheting into your unworked

stitches on the legs.

To avoid having large gaps in you work where your

legs join, you will be working a decrease stitch over
the gap between the legs.

You may find you are not working a decrease into a

proper full stitch, don’t worry, just ensure you attach
the first part of your decrease into the leg you are
currently on, and end the decrease on the adjacent
leg.

If in doubt, you will see you have 6 obvious crochet

stitches and half stitch / gaps either side. Work
decreases into those gaps.

Count 6 full sc back on any leg and join your yarn to

that stitch.

1. [6sc, dec over leg gaps] x8 (56)

2. [5sc, dec] x8 (48)

3. [dec] x24 (24)

4. [2sc, dec] x6 (18)

Lightly stuff the legs (legs only!)

The body is made using staggered increases to avoid

the hexagonal increase lines you would normally find
in standard circle increasing.

You may wish to use your stitch marker here if you

aren’t already!
