💡 Tip: The wreath forms a tube shape. If you prefer a thicker wreath, stuff as you work rounds 6-13.

  5. Round 5
    Inc in each st around. (96 sts)
  6. Rounds 6-13
    Sc in each st around. (96 sts each round). Work 8 rounds total in this section. Wreath should measure approximately 16 inches in diameter (96 sts ÷ 16 sc per 4 inches = 24 inches circumference ≈ 7.6 inches radius).

  5. Spider Legs
    Cut 8 strands of black yarn, each 3 inches long. Thread through sides of body using yarn needle, creating 4 pairs of legs. Knot securely inside body. Trim legs to 1.5 inches length.
  6. Spider Eyes
    Attach two 8mm black safety eyes to front of body.

  2. Web - Round 2
    Ch 1. Sc in ring 8 times. Sl st to join. (8 sts)

Row counter:
💡 Tip: Vary heights and angles of appliqués for a dynamic, natural look.
  1. Positioning
    Arrange three spiders around wreath evenly spaced. Position two webs between spiders. Distribute 6-8 leaves around wreath filling gaps.
  2. Attaching Appliqués
    Using yarn needle and matching yarn, sew each appliqué securely to wreath base with 4-5 stitches. Spiders should be sewn at body only so legs hang freely.
  3. Hanging Loop
    Cut a 12-inch length of variegated green yarn. Fold in half and sew ends securely to back top of wreath. Alternatively, attach to cardboard backing for display.
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

After attaching all appliqués, weave in any remaining yarn ends. Gently shape wreath to ensure it lies flat. For extra durability, spot-glue appliqués with fabric glue in addition to sewing. Allow glue to dry completely before hanging. If desired, attach wreath to a cardboard backing ring for added structure and easier wall mounting.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store in a dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent yarn fading. Keep away from excessive heat sources.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 400 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: sc, ch, sl st, inc. Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 4-5 hours; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.
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 "16 sc x 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". 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.
Hand wash gently in cool water with mild soap. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store in a dry location away from direct sunlight to prevent yarn fading. Keep away from excessive heat sources. 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.
