I like the wrong side of the work to be the right side of the toy. So I turn the
piece inside out after Rnd 33.
Rnd 34: 20 sc, work 6 sc hooking through the sts of the opposite sides to
join. Leave the remaining sts unworked. You have created two openings
(20 sts each) for the legs. The first leg will continue directly from this point.
Use the next pictures as a guide.

Flatten the piece and close the opening by working 4 sc, hooking through

Join yarn to the second opening and work the second leg in the same way.
