No-Sew Colorwork Crochet Spider Plushie
This fun and simple project creates a cute, small amigurumi spider using soft plush yarn. The spider is constructed in two main pieces: the front body (which serves as the head) and the back abdomen.
To keep sewing to an absolute minimum, all eight legs and two front feelers are crocheted directly into the main body as you work in the round.
Once both pieces are fully stuffed, you simply sew the abdomen to the head and glue on some bead eyes to give it personality.
Measuring around 9 to 10 centimeters, this is a very quick craft and an excellent way to use up leftover yarn scraps!
