The other ones I did I slip stitch across the back and did 3 chains and pull the chain through the center whole and then took the chain and continued making them until I got 76. I pulled the yarn through so I could use it and do the single crochets. When finish I end off but left a 3 inch yarn piece and weave the 3 inch on the back. Finished.
Here the directions for the cat toy. They state scary spider but Scott and I think more of octopus toy.
Use L hook. Ch 4
Rnd 1 (right side): 15 dc in the 4th ch from hook 3 ch count as one dc. (16 dc) Join with sl st in the 4th ch.
Rnd 2 *ch 16, hdc in 2nd ch and in each rem ; skip next dc on rnd1, sc in next dc; rep from * 7 times more (8 legs mad, join base of leg with sl st or proceed like I did to do a continuous cord.
Cord: Leaving an 8" yarn end; ch 75.
Row 1 Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each rem ch; 74sc. Finish off, leaving 6" yarn. Weave end back through center. Tie a knot at the end of cord.
(At this point I again change it when I did the cord and weave it through the center and weave each side with sl st then I did knot and weave some mote than tie another knot.)
