Spider pillow

My latest project is this spider pillow for my little godson.
He is inspired by the Haloween decorations in October, but because of all my Christmas-projects I haven't have time to finish him before now...but better late than never...

The body is made of plush yarn to make the pillow soft and the spider more 'alive'. The legs are made of cotton yarn crocheted with half-double-crochet to make them more flexible.
