BODY
With Curry
You will now be working around your chain forming it in the shape of a ‘bag’. It is crucial to follow
the instructions carefully so as to have the increases in the right places otherwise the body will be
crooked.
It is important to make sure that the decreases start from the sc before the decrease on the
previous round. This way you will be sure it is NOT staggered.
Round 1: ch 28
Round 2: 3 sc in 2. ch from the hook, 25 sc, 3 sc in next st, 25 sc (57)
Round 3: inc x 3, 25 sc, inc x 3, 25 sc (62)
Sc the opening together with 7 sc. Break the yarn, leaving enough for joining the body to the head.
Decreases as mentioned are shown in the pictures here. The pin shows where the decrease from
the previous round is.
