  4. hi. i started making this, and it was going well until i got to the point of starting the legs. i'm confused as to how i'm supposed to attach them at the back loops of R10 when those loops were used to attach the green back in. a little help?

  5. It's been a while since I made this one, the best thing I can suggest is using the back loops of a round close to R10, hope that helps...
