Llama planter pattern for slightly smaller one

Llama planter pattern for slightly smaller one

This pattern is going to go in rounds. Please research what that means if you don't understand.
Also I'm going to chain 2 at the beginning to make the new round height just for the body, but I'm not going to include the chain as a double crochet. Some patterns do and some don't. Please choose the method that suits you the best!

Materials
Medium sized yarn. (not too thin, not too thick)
5 mm crochet hook

Note, you may want to sew in the mouth, attach the eyes and the ears before going on to the next part.

Rnd 13 - how ever long you want the neck to be. I think I've gone up to about 21: sc round (12)
Rnd 22-30: Inc on each ends of the neck continuously. This should make a flat triangle shape to look like a torso. You can skip this step and just make a really long neck if you'd like, but I wanted to give my llama planter a bit more stability.
