I apologize if my question shows up in numerous places.  I didn't realize that there was a topic section.  

I am struggling with the legs/body.   Specifically row 11 of the body.  I can't wrap my brain around the instructions.  Can someone help me please?

Hi Kelly,

I believe you're referring to this part:

In the next round we’ll join the legs with the body. Make sure the knees point in the right direction.
Rnd 10: sc in next 3 st through both the left leg and the body, sc in next 21 st on the body, sc in next 3 st through both the right leg and the body, sc in next 21 st on the body [48]
Rnd 11: skip 1 st on the leg, sc in next 3 leftover stitches of the leg, skip 1 st on the leg, sc in next 21 st on the body, skip 1 st on the leg, sc in next 3 leftover stitches on the leg, skip 1 st on the leg, sc in next 21 st on the body [48]

Andy the Ant is designed to have as little sewing as possible, hence we crochet the arms/legs to the body. To do this, we first crochet through a few stitches at the lower side of the arm, then, in the next round we crochet through a few stitches at the top of the arm. After doing so, all stitches are connected.

In Rnd 11, the round that is troubling you, you work the top side. You have 5 leftover stitches on each leg. You skip 1 stitch (you won't notice this in the final work), then you sc in 3 stitches from the top side of the leg, then you skip another stitch. Next, you continue working on the body, and do the same for the other leg.

I hope this helps?
