We start in a contrasting color:
1) 6 sbn in kA = 6 sbn
2) (1 sbn, ave) * 3 = 9 sbn
3) (2 sbn, ave) * 3 = 12 sbn

Tie a similar second leg. We do not cut the thread, but attach the first leg and knit the body further in a circle:
6-7) 2 rows of 30 sbn
8) (4 sbn, etc.) * 6 = 6 sbn
9) (5 UBN, Pr) * 6 = 42 UBN
10) (6 UBN, Ave) * 6 = 48 UBN
11-13) 3 rows of 48 UBN each
14) (6 UBN, UB) * 6 = 42 UBN
15) unchanged 42 UBN
16) (5 UB, ub) * 6 = 36 UBN
17) No change to 36 UbN
18) (4 Ub, ub) * 6 = 30 Ubn
19) No change 30 UbN
20) (3 Ub, ub) * 6 = 24 UBN
21) unchanged 24 UBN
22) (2 Ubn, Ub) * 6 = 18 Ubn
Head
1) 6 Ubn in CA = 6 Ubn
2) 6 increments = 12 Ubn
3) (1 Ubn, Ave) * 6 = 18 Sbn
4) (2 Sbn, Ave) * 6 = 24 Sbn
5) (3 Sbn, Ave) * 6 = 30 Sbn

18) (4 Ub, Ub) * 6 = 30 Ubn
19) (3 Ubc, Ub) * 6 = 24 Ubn
20) (2 Ub, Ub) * 6 = 18 Ubn
Hands (2 parts)
Start with a contrasting color:
1) 6 sbn in s / s = 6 sbn
2) (1 sbn, pr) * 3 = 9 sbn
3) (2 sbn, sr) * 3 = 12 sbn
Change color to pink:
4) no change 12 sbn
5) (2 sbn, killed) * 3 = 9 cbn
