Hi! I,m a beginner, and there is a few thing I don`t understand in this pattern; in the body what is " Continue in St-St and work 9 rows." what is st st mean ?
And for the legs after the 3 rows what do we do
Thank you very much!

I have not kniited the teddies yet but I am looking forward too but I noticed a few typo's that might help a few people if you got round to fixing them. Looks a good pattern. Getting onto knitting it right now.
