Rnd 41: (dec, sc in the next st) repeat 6 times [12]
Rnd 42: (dec) repeat 6 times, draw the stitches together, fasten off.
Wind brown or beige yarn around the legs. To do this put glue on the legs, put the yarn as near as possible to the body and begin to wind around the leg. (Wind in the direction from yourself, unwinding the yarn itself to get smoother covering). When you reach the first toe, cut the yarn of about 1.5 m length, insert into the needle and wind the toe between the two wire frames.
Try to get it tighter and firmer for the wire not to move and not to look through the yarn. Wind all the fingers and the leg putting some glue on it. Tie two yarn ends together and hide inside the body.
