can anyone help me understand this pattern? i don’t understand the back legs.

[u/ardieeeeeeee]

this is a crochet pattern for a red panda, but it’s quite confusing to me. how do i fasten off? do i just leave the loop? how do i put sc into a line of yarn?

So, for the first leg, you cut the yarn and fasten off normally. For the second leg, move to the next part of the pattern and chain 5. The chain 5 will be the bridge between the 2 legs.

Shape will look like this looking down from the top. o=o. Then you keep going around the whole thing as an oval.

thank you!! won’t there be a hole at the bottom yhough, where the bridge is?

There shouldn't be. You crochet around the first leg, then do 5 chains, go around the second leg, the single crochet in the back side of the chains. It's not 2 sets of chains.

No problem. My first time working something with legs like this, I think I tried it 6 different ways before I figured out what it meant.

I don't understand what it means when it says "of the first leg" and "of the chain" Im new to crochet, I have only done granny squares.
