7. Make the eleventh row in the same way as you made the sixth row. (See direction [No. 5].)
Back of Leggings
8. Make the twelfth row of single crochet.
9. On the thirteenth row begin to decrease the stitches, or to narrow the work. When you reach the twelfth stitch, take off 2 stitches as one. Do the rest of the row in single crochet except when you reach the thirty-eighth stitch, when you take off 2 stitches as one. There should be 48 single crochet stitches in the thirteenth row.
10. Continue to make 48 stitches in each row until there are 18 rows in front. Do not break off the yarn. You will have a loop on the crochet needle.
You will use this loop in making the separation for the leg part of the Teddy Bear Leggings.
