Embroider face.
How to knit the small legs (make 4)
Cast on 8 stitches
Row 1: P (8)
Row 2: K2Tog x4 (4)
Row 3: P2Tog x2 (2)
Row 4: K (2)
Row 5: P (2) B&T
Sew up the seams and sew onto your marshmallow buddies.
More info on shaping the legs:
Using the cast on thread I gather the cast on stitches (this forms a circle and the base of the foot). I then continue using the same yarn and continue sewing up the row ends to meet the cast off stitches (so the leg is like a very thing hollow tube with the foot at bottom).
I then further emphasise the foot by threading either cast on or cast off thread back through the leg and coming out above the foot then threading through to the base of foot and back up and pulling a little on this thread. This makes the base of the foot more flat. I then tie of this thread and use the other one at top of leg to attach leg to body.
Hope that is helpful 🙂
Connect the two BFF Marshmallows with a piece of yarn if you wish!
