✂️ Finishing

Weave in all remaining ends on the body and legs as you complete each piece. Block the web gently to open the mesh if desired. Once the spider is fully assembled and sewn to the web, check all seams are secure and no stuffing shows through the body. You can add a small hanging loop of yarn at the top of the web, or sew a small metal ring to hang on a nail or hook.

📌 Before You Begin

💡

Turning chains and starting chains do not count as stitches unless the row says so. The number in brackets at the end of each row is the stitch count you should have.

💡

Row 1 is the right side (RS). Left and right edges are as you look at the right side.

💡

Change colour on the last pull-through of the row before the one that names the new colour, and carry or cut the old colour as you prefer.

💡

Rounds worked in a spiral are not joined — place a marker in the last stitch of each round and move it up as you go.

💡

Check your gauge before you start. If you have more stitches than the gauge, try a larger hook; fewer, a smaller hook.

💡

This pattern creates a flat circular web from the center outward, with a separate amigurumi spider and eight individual legs that you'll assemble and attach—so the finished piece is sculptural rather than flat all over.

💡

You'll join rounds on the web and use continuous spiral rounds for the spider body, so read each section carefully for how your yarn flows.

💡

Fingering-weight cotton holds its shape beautifully and blocks crisply if you want to pin the web to enhance the mesh openings.

🎁 Ways to Use This

✦

Hang in a window or above a desk for a sculptural, nature-inspired accent.

🧺 Care Instructions

Wash in cool water with mild soap, gently squeezing without wringing. Lay flat or hang to dry completely. The cotton will soften with washing and become more fluid over time.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Fingering). You'll need about approximately 110 yards (101 meters), so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Fine yarns give delicate detail. Cotton is great for structured pieces; mohair adds a halo effect for a dreamy look.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, st, sts, sl st and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "27.5 dc and 18.5 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in double crochet, blocked". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Wash in cool water with mild soap, gently squeezing without wringing. Lay flat or hang to dry completely. The cotton will soften with washing and become more fluid over time. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
