Rnd 3-12: 8 sc
Do not stuff the legs. Crochet the second leg the same way. From the second leg, crochet a chain of 10 ch, insert the hook into the 1st stitch of the last round of the first leg. Place a marker and begin crocheting in the round.

Begin crocheting the pattern using flax-colored yarn.
- When changing from one color to another, work the last 2 loops on the hook (one is the working loop, the other is from the last unfinished stitch in the previous color) with the yarn of the next color. The new working loop on the hook will be in the new color.
- As you crochet the round, carry the unused yarn along the edge of the previous round so it gets crocheted inside the fabric. The fabric becomes reversible, meaning it looks the same on the right and wrong sides. Just make sure the strand carried inside the fabric does not pull it tight.
