Step 2 - separate barbs	Step 3 - crochet needle	Step 4 - loop
Step 5 - pull the knot tight	Step 6 - next leg	$Step 7 - lazy leg - Some or even all of the the legs just need one knot if you\'re lazy$ Step 7 - lazy leg
$Step 8 - legs ready - Here I have 7 legs, some with one and some with two knots. The number of legs and knots isn\'t critical$ Step 8 - legs ready	Step 9 - start thread	Step 10 - split yarn
Step 11 - cut yarn	Step 12 - first legs	Step 13 - tie in
Step 14 - second bunch	Step 15 - legs ready	Step 16 - trim butts
Step 17 - twist yarn	Step 18 - body	Step 19 - unravel
Step 20 - pull apart	Step 21 - tie down	Step 22 - trim wings
