Arnold the Spider

Pattern by AmbrosCrochet
Every part of the spider is worked in rounds - do not join at the end of each round.

Finished size: 12 cm x 12 cm (4.7 inches x 4.7 inches)

Yarn: I use 100% acrylic yarn - Schachenmayr Bravo, to be exact, but you can use
whatever yarn and color you prefer.

Crochet hook: 3 mm

You will also need: pins

scissors
toy stuffing
one pair of 12 mm safety eyes, two pairs of 8 mm safety eyes
tapestry needle or needle and thread

Abbreviations and stitches used: magic ring

single crochet = sc
increase = inc
decrease = dec
back loops only = blo
front loops only = flo
fasten off = f/o

How to read the pattern: rnd x → we are working on round x

(x sc, inc/dec) * y → the instructions between
parentheses have to be repeated y times; (x sc, inc/dec)
means we will work one single crochet in each x stitches,
and then work one increase or one decrease into the
next stitch. For example, (3 sc, inc) * 6 means: work one
single crochet in each of the next three stitches, one
increase in the fourth stitch; repeat six times

Assembling

Attach the head to the body: the body should be

placed on the back of the head, 4 stitches from each
of the furthest out eyes, and should cover rnd 7 to
rnd 10 of the head.

4
Attach the chelicerae to the head: rnd 1 of the
chelicerae is the one that should be attached to the
head, so have the tail from rnd 6 come out from rnd 1;
the side with the flo in rnd 4 should be up so that you
can slightly bend them down. Attach them to rnd 11
and rnd 12 of the head, between the 12 mm eyes with
no stitches in between them.

Attach the legs to the head: all legs cover rnd 11

of the head; start with the first two, one on each
side of the chelicerae, approximately 1 stitch
away from the closer chelicera; I like to place
them so that they are angled toward each other,
as you can see in the picture.

5
Attach the next two pairs of legs to the head: they will
make two little clusters on each side; make sure to
attach them so that the flo from rnd 6 are up so that
you can bend the tip downwards.
Attach the first leg on each side by skipping half a
stitch or so from the previously attached leg, then
attach the second leg right next to the first one, no
stitches in between them.

Lastly, attach the back legs to the head: there should

be just enough space between the head and the body,
next to the last legs we have attached to attach the
back legs.
