This eyeball spider bag charm is almost a no-sew project, as only the details like the eyeball and legs need to be sewn on, making it relatively easy for beginners. Putri the tutorial advises being careful when changing yarn colours to ensure a neat finish.

She uses a lighter colour yarn on camera as black doesn't show well. So, you can follow through very easily. Following are some more important highlights:

Half double crochet and increase are used frequently instead of single crochet to create the body and eyeball.
The eyeball pattern involves rounds of half-double crochets, starting with eight half-double crochets in a magic ring.
Additional details such as the eyeball veins are sewn on using split red yarn for a thinner, more detailed effect.
Be careful with attaching the spider legs by working on the wrong side of the crochet fabric.
