To bend the legs, you may insert pieces of wire inside them, or do as I did - fold each leg in half forming a knee and fix with a couple of stitches so that the knee remain pointy (see the picture)
Attach the legs in place (approx. row 18 of the head), 2 cm away from one another.
Eyes: With white yarn and 3 mm hook, ch 2, 6 sc into the second ch from hook Rnd 1: (2 sc in each sc) around - 12 sc Rnd 2: sc around - 12 sc If you don't have plastic eyes, make some irises of different colors: With 3 mm hook, ch 2, 6 sc into the second ch from hook I liked the idea of making different plastic eyes. Attach two eyes in place and three more under them.
Orange warts:
The idea of warts was to make our spider look scarier =)) Make 3 orange warts and attach them to the left side of spider's forehead: With 3 mm hook, ch 2, 6 sc into the second ch from hook Our spider is ready to scare you away! Does your spider look spooky? Seems like mine does not =)) Have a creepy Halloween!!! http://toy-li.jimdo.com/ http://www.etsy.com/shop/LilikSha
