Fasten off, sew to body

The feet are done a little differently. The toes are crocheted seperately (3 for each foot) then you crochet around all three toes to connect them and form the body of the foot. This is sort of confusing, so I've included pictures below.
If you're a beginning crocheter or just can't understand how the foot/toes work but really want to make this pattern you can alternately make two more wings in orange/yellow and finish off after the 10th row, sewing the top shut. These feet will look like the ones in the photo, just without the toe "bumps" on top


Toes: Make 6 in orange/yellow
1. 6 sc in Adjustable Ring

Foot: Make 2 in orange/yellow
Each foot uses 3 toes
1.Attach yarn to one toe:

Insert hook into first toe, sc this stitch and remaining 2 stitches. Now all the toes should be connected into a round. (18)

Finish off and sew hole shut, Feet can be sewn underneath body to appear standing, or on front of body to appear siting.



A note on all my patterns: I offer my patterns free, and I'd like them to stay free, therefore feel free to print them out and pass them out to as many people as you'd like, I simply ask that you put my web address somewhere on the pattern, so people know where it came from. Never ever sell my patterns or present them as your own. You can give away items made from my patterns, but if you want to sell them online you need to state that the pattern is free and available here. This means that every single listing for any item made with my pattern must state that the pattern you used is free and you must also post a link to it. I'm not trying to be mean, I just want the most people possible to have access to free patterns. Please don't violate these rules and ruin things for everyone else. Thanks!
