Welcome to part 6 of featuring the crochet plush low-sew spider plushie tutorial series. Today, you will learn how to crochet this chubby low-sew spider plushie with yellow eyes that makes a REALLY spooky Halloween gift and decoration. Unlike the other crochet spider plushies, it has only two parts: the crochet body and the 8 arms.
This means you can crochet this plush spider in less than 30 minutes by following a super bulky yarn pattern.
You can also choose from the purple, red, and grey spider variations. It is actually a no-sew plushie designed for absolute beginners and of medium size. You can also crochet it in keychain size by using the skinny plush yarn. Now, continue reading for learning more about the plush black spider pattern!
Learn to Crochet the Spooky Black Spider with Yellow Eyes Plushie
This tutorial teaches how to crochet a plush, spooky spider. First, you start by crocheting the rounded head and body, increasing stitches in rounds using chenille yarn. Next, you construct the facial details by placing two bobble stitches for the front mouth parts and inserting safety eyes.
Then, you crochet eight long legs around the body using chains, bobble stitches, and slip stitches into the front loops. Finally, you stuff the body with fiberfill, perform single crochet decreases along the back loops to close the bottom opening, and weave in the remaining yarn end.
