Tutorial to Crochet the Spidey-Pump Plush
This tutorial guides you through making a plush crochet pumpkin spider. You start with the head using a magic circle and standard rounds. Then, you transition directly into making the body with heavy increases to widen the shape. After inserting safety eyes and adding stuffing, you decrease to close the body.
Next, you attach yarn to the sides and chain outwards to create eight legs. You wrap long yarn tails tightly around the body to shape six or eight pumpkin ridges. Finally, you attach green yarn to the top of the head to form a small stem.
