Halloween feels like it’s just around the corner. Or maybe more so when I go into a store and they are ALREADY selling costumes and decorations. Either way, this week I made a spider to add to my halloween decorations.
Pattern for your very own spider:
Head:
1. Start with a magic ring with 5 sc.
2. Inc in every stitch (10)
3. Inc, sc. Repeat around (15)
4. Inc, 2 sc. Repeat around (20)
5. Inc, 3 sc. Repeat around (25)
6-8. sc around.
9. Dec, 3 sc. Repeat around. (20)
10. Dec, 2 sc. Repeat around. (15)
11. Dec, 1 sc. Repeat around. (10)
12. Dec around (5) and T.O.
Make sure you stuff and add the eyes before you completely close it.
Body:
1. Start with a magic ring with 5 sc.
2. Inc in every stitch (10)
3. Inc, sc. Repeat around (15)
4. Inc, 2 sc. Repeat around (20)
5. Inc, 3 sc. Repeat around (25)
6. Inc, 4 sc. Repeat around (30
7-9. sc around.
10. Dec, 4 sc. Repeat around (25)
11. Dec, 3 sc. Repeat around. (20)
12. Dec, 2 sc. Repeat around. (15)
13. Dec, 1 sc. Repeat around. (10)
14. Dec around (5) and T.O.
For the legs:
1. Start with a magic ring with 4 sc.
2. Inc, sc. Repeat around (6)
3-17. Sc around. T.O.
DO NOT STUFF THE LEGS.
What I did was once I had my 8 legs, I took 4 pipe cleaners/fuzzy sticks and stuffed them through the body, folding the end over before I shoved them through my legs. I then sewed the legs to the body and bent into the shape I wanted.
And there you have it, you’re very own spider!

That spider is really cute – and this is coming from an arachnophobe! 🙂 Halloween seems to sneak up on me every year…it would be cool to have some crocheted decorations. Thanks for sharing the pattern!
haha. Thanks! I actually have arachnophobia as well, but Halloween is the time where I face my fears and hang spiders all over the place. XD I’m planning on doing a bunch of little Halloween things in the coming weeks, and I’ll try to share all the patterns… Or well, the ones I write up the patterns.
Love him. He’s very similar to the one I made up for Christmas last year. I brought my friend who hates spiders a spider vacuum & made a little spider chap to go with it. He now happily lives in there conservatory.
Thanks! And awww.. That’s pretty funny though! I’m glad your spider now lives in the conservatory. XD I’m sure your friend got a laugh and appreciated it.
I still have to remove the spiders from the classroom & lab we share.
LOL! I definitely don’t blame them! I don’t like spiders either. Unless its Halloween time. Then I’ll accept the creepy crawlies. XD
