Materials You Will Need
Before we dive into the pattern, let’s gather our supplies:
- Yarn: Black and white (or any colors you prefer)
- Crochet hook: 3.5 mm
- Fiberfill stuffing
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Safety eyes (optional) or embroidery thread for the eyes
- Stitch marker (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Making the Spider’s Body
We’ll start by making the spider’s body, which is worked in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round if needed.
- Round 1: Make a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. (6 stitches)
- Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
- Round 3: Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
- Round 4: Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)
- Round 5: Sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (30 stitches)
- Rounds 6-10: Sc in each stitch around. (30 stitches)
- Round 11: Sc in the next 3 stitches, decrease (sc2tog) in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)
- Round 12: Sc in the next 2 stitches, decrease in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
- Round 13: Sc in the next stitch, decrease in the next stitch; repeat from * to * around. (12 stitches)
- Round 14: Decrease around. (6 stitches)
Stuff the body with fiberfill. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
2. Creating the Spider’s Legs
Next, we’ll make the legs. Each leg is worked in rows.
- Legs (make 8):
- Chain 11.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, work 1 sc in each chain across. (10 stitches)
- Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
3. Attaching the Legs
Use the long tails to sew the legs to the sides of the spider’s body. Attach four legs on each side, spacing them evenly.
4. Adding the Eyes
You can use safety eyes or embroider the eyes with white yarn or embroidery thread. Attach the eyes to the front of the spider’s body, positioning them to give your spider a cute or spooky look.
Final Touches
Once all the parts are attached, weave in any loose ends using the yarn needle to give your spider a neat finish.
You can also add additional details, such as a small bow or a piece of yarn webbing, to enhance your decoration.
Congratulations! You’ve just completed your own crochet amigurumi spider. This fun and easy project is perfect for adding a touch of handmade charm to your Halloween decorations.
Place your spider in a web, on a mantel, or even give it as a playful gift. We hope you enjoyed making this adorable spooky spider!
