Close the circle and place one sc into the first stitch.
Increase in every stitch around for a total of 12 stitches.

Finish each leg by slip stitching into the last stitch, chain one, and fasten off.

Round 4:

[2 sc, 1 increase] repeat around for a total of 24 stitches.

Work the initial increases identical to the body to reach 24 stitches.
For rounds 5-6, work 1 sc around (24 stitches) and finish off for attaching to the body.

Ruffled Edge on Shell:

Attach yarn to the shell edge with a slip stitch.
Chain two, then work 2 double crochets (dc) in the same stitch.
Work 3 dc in every stitch around the shell for a ruffled edge effect.
