♥ Assembling Spidey

Whenever I assemble Amigurumi’s, I always like to use sewing pins first, this way I can move parts around until I am happy, then I’ll sew them on.

For this one there isn’t too much sewing. You just have to sew Spidey his legs on. And that’s it.
If you like, you can stitch on a bit of white around his eyes, I found they didn’t show too well without on this yarn. And this makes him even cuter!

I hope you had fun with this Spidey pattern today, and if you did, I would love to see what you made! You can show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week with another spooky craft!

Love
