Detailed Instructions for Difficult Stitches

Foot Stitch (3 Double Crochets with a Common Top):
- To create the feet during round 13, yarn over, insert the hook into the designated stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through two loops (leaving two loops on the hook).
- Repeat this exact process two more times in the same stitch so that four loops remain on the hook.
- Finally, yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook at once to join them into a single common top. This forms a neat, rounded foot shape directly onto the lower body.
