Leg 2: {Photos 09-13}
Work Leg 2 exactly as Leg 1, but do not
fasten off. Make 2 chains and join to Leg 1
with a single crochet. {Photos 04-06}
Continue making single crochet all around
Leg 1 (22 stitches), single crochet in each
stitch of chain (2 stitches), single crochet all
around Leg 2 (22 stitches) and now work in
the other side of the chain, making a single
crochet in each stitch (2 stitches).
So we just made a round of single crochet
around both legs and both sides of the
chain. You should have a total of 48 stitches
now. {Photo 07-08}
