Round 20: 30 sc
Round 21: (3 sc, dec) repeat 6 times = (24)
Round 22: 24 sc
Now we will attach the arms.
Again, make sure the color change on the hooves is placed at the back. If necessary, add extra sc until you reach the middle of the back to adjust for stitch shifting, so that the upper legs are aligned parallel to the lower ones. The next round is described starting from the middle of the back.
