• knitting spool

Abbreviations U.S.

• ch = chain
• st = stitch
• sc = single crochet

• dec = decrease (2 stitches together)

Fasten off. Take the yarn through the 12 outer loops and pull to close the gap. Weave in the end.

Legs

Use a knitting spool and French knit a rope that’s about 10 cm long. Make 8 in total. Sew them to the body and use about 1 cm for that, like shown in the picture.

If you want to crochet the legs make a mr with 6 sc. The next round you crochet: 3* (sc, inc). You’ ll have 9 sc. Crochet more rounds with 9 sc until you reach the desired length.

Your spider is finished now. You can attach a piece of yarn so you can hang it up. Or you just place it somewhere.
