BLO = back loops only
FO = fasten off
[…] = repeat these instructions
(#) = number of stitches in row

Notes:
• This pattern is worked in the round. Don't join or turn work unless instructed.
• For my MinInion arms, I changed colours on the SLST. Put the hook through the stitch, yarn
over with the new colour, pull through all loops on the hook.
• This pattern is small and fiddly. Prepare to curse at it.

Linked Double Crochet:

1. Make a DC as usual in the next stitch.

2. For the next stitch, put the hook through this post loop:

3. Yarn over and pull up a loop.

4. Hook through the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.

5. Yarn over, and pull through two loops.

6. Yarn over and pull through remaining two loops.

7. Repeat from step 2 for the remaining LDCs.
