PATTERN
Legs:
Let’s start crocheting boots for the deer. I used green yarn, but you can choose your preferred colors.

Row 9: 8 sc, 4 dec, 8 sc.

At this stage, I insert a sole for greater stability and stuff the legs.
Rows 25: For the second leg, crochet 10 sc, 4 ch, 23 sc. For the first leg, crochet 4 sc in the ch, 23 sc in the second leg, 2 sc in the ch, and place a marker (at the back).
