Fly Mount
Assembly: You have crocheted 7 single crochets on the body of the fly. The rest of the points that close the circle are the part to which the head and wings of the fly will be attached to the body.
These parts are attached as described below. Apart from the eyes of the fly, there is no need to sew any other elements.
Start by passing the needle through the next stitch and through the stitch on the far right of the head. Use the stitches you made to close the head. Insert the needle through the points on the head from above, look at the images to give you a better idea.
After you have passed the needle through both stitches, make a yarn over, thread through both stitches and slip stitch. With this, the head will already be attached to the body.
The next thing is to join the first wing. The upper part of the wing is formed by three points. Place the wing as in the images so that it is fixed correctly.
Pass the needle through the next stitch on the body, then through the stitch on the right end of the wing (make sure the wing is in the correct position), and then through the next stitch on the head. Make a yarn over, pass the thread through the three stitches and make another slip stitch.
Now, repeat this process for the 2nd and 3rd stitch on the wing (pass the needle through the body, wing and head again). In this way, you will have attached the first wing to the head and body.
Next, pass the needle only through the next stitch on the body and the next stitch on the head, thread through both stitches and make a slip stitch.
Next, we are going to attach the second wing. Make sure the brim is set correctly and pass the needle through the next stitch on the body, through the stitch on the far right of the brim, and through the next stitch on the head. Make a yarn over, pass the thread through the three stitches and make 1 slip stitch. Repeat this process for the next 2 stitches.
