Crochet Spooky Spider Plushie For Halloween
This project is a fun, beginner-friendly amigurumi tutorial for a “Spider King.” Using soft plushie yarn, you will crochet a cute but slightly spooky spider with a bright orange body and a black back.
The head and body are crocheted in one continuous piece, stuffed with fiberfill, and decorated with multiple pairs of safety eyes to give it a classic spider look.
You will then crochet eight little legs (six with black tips and two solid orange ones) and attach them to the body. You also have the option to embroider a magical geometric web design on the back!

Foundation Ring
Start by making a slip knot and creating a base chain of ch 21.
Form a ring by joining the last chain to the first chain with a SS.]. Make sure the chain is not twisted.
Crown
Row 1
ch 1, then work 21 sc evenly around into the foundation ring.
Join with a SS into the first sc to close the round.
Row 2
ch 1, then work another 21 sc all the way around into each stitch from the previous row.
Join with a SS into the first sc of the row.
Row 3 (The Crown Peaks)
To create the pointed peaks of the crown, repeat the following pattern sequence around the ring 7 times total:
ch 3.
Work 1 SS into the second chain from your hook.
Work 1 sc into the third chain from your hook.
Secure the peak by making a SS into the next 3 stitches along the main ring body.
Assembly
Sew the two all-orange legs (Part 2) directly next to the face, placing them about 1 stitch away from the large 14mm eyes on each side.
Sew the remaining six black-tipped legs (Part 1) along the sides of the body behind the front legs. Place three on the left side and three on the right side.
Optional: Use straight pins to map out a pentagon/star shape on the black back of the spider and use contrasting yarn or embroidery thread to sew a magical web pattern.
