Embroider The Eyes And Lashes
Begin by placing a pin in the middle of the piece, between R12 and R13.
Thread a long piece of embroidery floss into a needle. Knot the end.
On the inside of your piece, pick up a bit of yarn with your needle and make a knot on the inside of the head. Begin to embroider into the 2nd stitch to the right of the pin.
Insert your needle one round up and one stitch over.
Make a knot on the inside of the head and then insert your needle back through the same stitch.
Insert your needle one round down and one stitch over. Make a knot on the inside of the head. Then insert your needle back through the same stitch.
Insert your needle one round up to make the first eyelash.
Move your needle up to make the second eyelash. Secure with a knot on the inside of the head.
Repeat on the other side. Begin to embroider into the 2nd stitch to the left of the pin.

Begin to stuff the head and continue as you crochet. Make sure not to overstuff. You want the top and bottom to lay flat.

Assembly

I recommend pinning the parts first. This will give you a better idea of where you’d like the parts to be attached before actual assembly.
Note: If you’d like fluffy spider legs, brush out each leg with a pet slicker brush before attaching.
Grab a short leg you set aside. Thread the fastened off yarn into a darning needle and insert the needle between R14 and R15 of the body – a stitch or two away from the eye.
Then go down through a stitch of the leg to connect it to the body.
Continue to go up through a stitch of the body.
And down through a stitch of the leg.
Continue this on the other side with the second short leg.
Attach a medium leg on each side – next to the short leg.
Attach a long leg on each side – next to the medium leg and repeat with the last two long legs.
Attach bow between R7 and R8.
Weave in all the excess pieces of yarn into the body.
Fluffy spider legs – use a pet slicker brush to lightly brush out the legs before attaching.
