1)      Ch 30, join to first ch with sl st to form a ring, ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc behind every chain around (not in the front loop or the back loop but the little loop in the ‘back’) – 29 dc

2)      (Make sure the ‘front’ of your stitches is on the outside) – Ch 2 (doesn’t count as a stitch), FPDC around first dc, *BPDC around next dc, FPDC around the next dc* repeat around (at the end you will have a FPDC, the ch 2 will appear to be the missing BPDC so ending with a FPDC is supposed to happen), join with sl st to top of ch 2.

3-4) Repeat round 2

5)  sl st to first BPDC, ch 4, dc in same st (first v-stitch), *dc in next bpdc, v-stitch in next bpdc*                            around (at the end you will be short one bpdc, to compensate and keep the right number of  stitches you will put a v-stitch in a fpdc and then dc in the next bpdc) – 8 v-stitch; 8 ch 1 sp; 8 dc

6) sl st into first v-stitch, v-stitch, bpdc in next dc, *v-stitch in next v-stitch, bpdc in next dc*around, join with sl st to top of ch 3

7-20) repeat round 6

21) Dc in ever dc around – 25 dc (is smaller than top because the thigh is larger than the foot/ankle)

22-24) Repeat round 2 – 25 dc

Tie off.
