Close stitches
Legs:
Each leg consists of two parts. The first part will be sewn to the body.
First Part:
1st round: 6 sc in MR (6)
2nd round: (1 sc, inc) * 6 (9)
3rd – 11th rounds: 9 sc (9)
Second Part (longer):
1st round: 6 sc in MR (6)
2nd round: (1 sc, inc) * 6 (9)
3rd – 19th rounds: 9 sc (9)
After completing both parts, take the longer piece and sew it to the second piece at a slight angle. You’ll need 8 legs, meaning 8 longer pieces and 8 shorter pieces.
Palps (Spider’s Antennae):
Similar to legs, the palps consist of two parts that are first sewn together, then to the body (2 long parts, 2 short parts, total of 2 final pieces):
First Part:
1st round: 6 sc in MR (6)
2nd – 7th rounds: 6 sc (6)
Second Part:
1st round: 6 sc in MR (6)
2nd – 4th rounds: 6 sc (6)
Chelicerae (Spider’s Fangs):
1st round: 6 sc in MR (6)
2nd – 5th rounds: 6 sc (6)
Make two of these parts, they don’t need stuffing.
Assembly:
Sew all crocheted pieces and eyes onto the body. Congratulations, your spider is ready!
