A long time ago I made a pink spider, you can see it here. I always wanted to make another one, but with all other projects that I had it just never happened. But now that Halloween is near, I thought it would be a good time to make the spider once more. Back then I used this pattern, but I made a few adjustments so I wrote down what I did myself. You can find it below. For this spider I used Drops Paris cotton and a crochet hook size 4mm. A similar yarn is Paintbox Yarn Cotton Aran. For the eyes I used 6mm safety eyes. Enjoy this little pattern!
Lijfje
Het lijfje wordt in het rond gehaakt.
1. 6 vasten in een magische ring.
2. ˜Meerder rondom. (12)
3. * 1 vasten, meerder * Herhaal rondom. (18)
4. * 2 vasten, meerder. * Herhaal rondom. (24)
5. * 3 vasten, meerder. * Herhaal rondom. (30)
6. * 4 vasten, meerder. * Herhaal rondom. (36)
7-11. 1 vaste in elke steek rondom.
12. * 4 vasten, minder. * Herhaal rondom. (30)
13. * 3 vasten, minder. * Herhaal rondom. (24)
14. Minder totdat je niet verder kunt minderen. Vul tussentijds het lijfje op en bevestig de oogjes.
Hecht af
Poten
1. Haak 12 lossen. Keer je werk.
2. Haak 1 vaste in elke losse. (11)
3. Haak 1 losse. Haak nu 1 halve vaste in elke vaste maar steek je naald niet alleen door de vasten maar ook door de losse van de toer eronder. Zo krijg je een steviger pootje. Bevestig ijzerdraad in de pootjes als je wilt dat de pootjes stevig blijven staan. Hecht af en naai de pootjes op het lijfje.
Body
The body is worked in the round.
1. Make 6 single crochet in a magic ring.
2. Increase around. (12)
3. * 1 single crochet, increase. * Repeat around. (18)
4. * 2 single crochet, increase. * Repeat around. (24)
5. * 3 single crochet, increase. * Repeat around. (30)
6. * 4 single crochet, increase. * Repeat around. (36)
7-11. 1 single crochet in each stitch around.
12. * 4 single crochet, decrease. * Repeat around. (30)
13. * 3 single crochet, decrease. * Repeat around. (24)
14. Decrease until you can't decrease anymore. Don't forget to put stuffing inside the body and to attach the safety eyes. Fasten off.
Legs
1. Chain 12. Turn.
2. Do 1 single crochet in every chain stitch. (11)
3. Chain 1. Do 1 slip stitch in each single crochet and the chain stitch. So you go through both stitches every time. This will make the leg more tight. Insert a piece of wire in the legs if you want the legs to stay secure. Fasten off and sew the legs onto the body.
