About this pattern

• Should you use the suggested crochet hook
  (2.5 mm), your Imigurumi’s final size will be
  about 12 cm (4.5”) If you use a different hook
  and yarn, final measures will vary.
• Unless it is otherwise indicated, every round
  is crocheted in continuous rounds.
• The Imigurumi is crocheted bottom-up.
• To prevent little gaps between stitches in
  your Imigurumi, make sure to crochet the
  pieces tightly and to stuff them firmly (unless
  it is otherwise indicated).
• Change the yarn’s color on the last step of
  the last stitch of the previous color.
• Square bracket instructions must be repeated
• until the end of the round.

Legs

• FIRST LEG
  With the bluish color:
  1: 5 sc in Magic Ring (5)
  2: BLO – 5 inc – (10)
  3: 10 sc (10)
  Fasten off and weave in the yarn tail.
• SECOND LEG
  Repeat rounds 1 to 3, but DO NOT cut the yarn.
  4: To join both legs, chain 2 and join leg 1 with
  a sc. Crochet 9 more sc along leg 1. Then, crochet 2
  sc on one side of the 2-ch-chain. Now, crochet 10 sc
  along leg 2 and finish with 2 sc on the other side of
  the 2-ch-chain. (24)
