Useful Things To Know
ANDROID - The Pattern
Info: Make the arms, legs and antennae first so that you have them at hand when you need them. In case you work with only one skein of green yarn and don't have another one at hand, take a long strand of yarn aside for sewing on the arms. And another strand of yarn for the optional step of sewing the notch between head and body closer/tighter_ (see page 14). Head and body are crocheted in one piece and you'll have to sew on the arms and antennae in between. You can sew them on after finishing the body, but it's easier doing it in between.
LEG - version 2 (make 2, use yarn in GREEN)
Info: This are the modified legs with flat bottoms. The Droid will be able to stand on its own.
HEAD & BODY (make 1, use yarn in GREEN)
Info: HEAD and BODY are crocheted in one piece. Some rounds are crocheted in either the back loop or the front loop to Create the notch between head and body.

ANDROID - Step-by-Step Instructions
sewing remaining opening closed & hiding the yarn-end
Info: This goes for all openings that need to be sewn closed, like the body and the arms .
embroidering the eyes

9） Secure the yarn-ends with several knots and cut off the excess yarn.
and cut off the excess yarn.
sewing the notch closer/tighter
Info: This is optional. You only have to do this, if you think the notch between head and body is too big, or if it keeps opening up, etc.
9）Repeat steps 2） to 8) with the opposite side. holders are almost invisible.
sewing on the arms
other side of the Droid's body now. right where the second pin sits. just like you did with the first one. And sew it on.
sewing on the legs
Info: It doesn't matter if you made version l or 2 of the legs. The sewing process is the same. The pictures here show version 2 of the legs, with the flattened bottoms because if you want the Droid to stand, you'll have to place the legs a bit more carefully. If you made version 1 jump from the first part of step l） to step 5).
3） After filling the legs attach them to the body with pins (with flat head).I put the pin right through the leg's magic ring and then up into the body. 4） Change the placement and orientation of the legs until the Droid stands on its own. Push the flat bottom of the legs inwards a bit, it helps a lot.
