Sewing:

The nsew to point where the spider head and body connect. You can sew it to that spot by going through the neck and then go back through the neck to its original side. Do that a few times to make it secure. Fasten off and weave in the end.
• Attach the other set of legs to the other side of the spider in the same way. Fasten off and weave in the end.
• Sew the body and head together.
• And now you have a crochet spider made from my crochet spider pattern!
