For the spiderweb: Using color D, attach to yarn needle, starting at the top left of the door insert needle and create the 1st line of the web.

Using color D, attach to yarn needle and stitch 2 lines across for the window panes.
Adding the Door and Windows
Using color C and yarn needle, attach the door onto the bottom front panel. The middle of the door will be at stitch 13 of the front panel.
For the windows, use color C to attach 1 each to the back panel and side panels. I placed mine at different stitches to give it more of a distressed and less perfect look.
Seaming Together
*Before assembling it's best to block the entire project. This will give the best definition without the edges curling. I use a travel sized steamer, foam mats and blocking pins.
Use color C to seam each piece together with the mattress stitch. Here's a tutorial of the stitch.
Seam together the ends of the panels in this order:
Front, Side, Back, Side with Bottom
Next, attach one piece of the roof starting at the top of the front panel.
At this point stuff the cottage with polyfill. I over stuffed mine to make it look more bubbly and a bit cartoon like.
Attach the final roof panel starting at the top of the back panel.
Using the yarn needle, shove all of the ends into the cottage.
That's it! You've just finished your very first piece to a crochet village.
