Sl st then fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
ASSEMBLY: Insert 2 eyes onto each face and fix the back in place (you may need to adjust the position of the eyes a few times before fixing the back on to make sure they look symmetrical). Sew a little mouth for each monster in Yarn B. Position the face onto the body and wiggle the eye post between the stitches on the body. Sew in place using the tail ends.
Sew all the other body parts (ears, horns, tails, spines) in place. Spine 4 is positioned immediately above the tail on the Pink Monster, then spine 3, 2 and then 1 at the top of the head.
Weave in all ends.
Now the eyelash yarn is crocheted over the surface of each monster. Starting with Blue Monster, find the start of the spiral at the base. Join Yarn E. Dc into each FL. You will need to keep changing directions as you work around each body piece. You may need to fasten off and re-join the yarn as needed.
Repeat with the Pink Monster using Yarn F and the Yellow Monster Using Yarn G.
