Crochet Oli: Crochet Spiderweb Pin Cushion & Decoration with Spider Pattern
Let’s crochet the CUTEST Halloween decoration! Introducing, the crochet stuffed Spiderweb pin cushion that is a pillow, a LOVELY Halloween candy dish and Halloween decoration, at the same time. We shall crochet a stuffed hexagonal pumpkin with ELEGANT spiderweb embroidery and a little googly-eyed spider charm crawling over. You will learn sewing the Spiderweb pattern and the spider charm as well, in the same pattern.
You can crochet this amigurumi pin cushion for fall & Halloween in any shade of orange. I especially like the crochet spider that LOOKS simply the CUTEST and much like the soot sprite. So, with all that said, let me bring you to the complete crochet pattern to make this LOVELY Halloween décor!
About the Designer: The designer behind this crochet stuffed spiderweb amigurumi is @CrochetOli – Her tutorials are very easy to follow and she teaches the basics very well, even if you are just starting out. She asked me to “never forget her,” so here was her short intro.
How to Crochet Spiderweb Pin Cushion
Make a Halloween pumpkin pincushion in this project, which can also be adapted as a bag keychain or small decorative cushion.
The item features a flat round base and a top round piece embroidered with a black spiderweb design. The two halves are then crocheted together with a black border, stuffed firmly, and shaped into sections.
To complete the spooky theme, a cute little stuffed spider with dimensional embroidered legs and big eyes is sewn onto the pumpkin.
This is a pumpkin. You make the pumpkin with yarn. You use a hook. You make two flat parts. You put a line on one part. The line looks like a web.
You put the two parts together. You put stuffing inside the pumpkin. You make a small bug with yarn. The bug is a spider. You sew the spider on the pumpkin. You put eyes on the spider. The project is done.
