Step-by-Step Knitting Instructions

Body

Using white yarn, cast on 90 stitches and knit in the round for 4 inches. Divide the stitches into three parts: 30 stitches for the front, 30 stitches for the back, and 30 stitches for the bottom. Knit the front and back pieces separately, decreasing 1 stitch at the beginning and end of every other row until you have 15 stitches remaining on each piece. Join the pieces and continue knitting in the round until the body measures 5 inches from the cast-on edge.
