Hi there folks. I've recently been going through my old patterns to bring them up to scratch, and this particular guy needed a little bit of love. Here are a couple of adjustments I've made to the pattern shown in the video: Head/Body R5. 3sc, inc3, 4sc, inc3, 5sc, inc3, 4sc, inc3 (28) AND R17. In the video I fold up the grey and stitch through the head pretty early in this row. I would recommend moving it to the 6th stitch in the row. Thanks!
About row 17: Does that mean you would fold it up to the head after "sc, inc, sc and then 1 sc of the inc as normal" and then the second sc of the increase as the one folding to the head? (Also really loved those ridges for the eyes, was a bit confused at first but i really like the way that looks ❤)
Could you make this same spider but without the pumpkin pattern tutorial? I can probably make one by not changing colors, but I think it would be easier. This is the best plushie spider pattern on youtube and it'd be cool to see one that's "plain and boring" for ..idk, simpleness.
I'll probably not make another video on it, BUT...here's R19 to R25 if you just want to make a plain one: R19. 6[5sc, inc] (42) R20. 42sc (42) R21. 42sc (42) R22. 42sc (42) R23. 6[5sc, dec] (36) R24. 36sc (36) R25. 36sc (36)
I just discovered your channel through a comment you left on a Karen Puzzles video, and now I'm dying to make all these cute critters! Might be a bit advanced for me but I'm determined to figure it out!!!
I'll admit this one isn't really aimed for people at the start of their journey, but we all have to start somewhere! 🙂 I'm sure you'll be ready for this one in no time. Let me know if I can help 💜
Practice makes perfect. I'm sure the video will still be available once your skill has increased. I never thought I'd be at this point either but here I am. You got this!
This is such a good pattern! Ive crocheted for over a decade now and im going to make an army of spiders! I followed for the head but improvised for the body. and the legs are so easy. Thank you for sharing i cant wait to follow another one of your patterns!
WOW I am impressed, how someone can do such great things with their own hands! I would love to have the patience and creativity to create wonderful pieces even though I am still 16.
Do you flip your work when you changed the color? I'm confused on the direction of the stitches because I'm crocheting on the outside of the body and it looks like you are crocheting on the inside.
My new boyfriend loves spiders like me so I'm going to make us a couple spider set. Thank you sooooo much for this! Btw, I love your little spider drawings, those alone are too cute.
I was mostly listening to this, while I followed along, because I need new glasses [not getting any in the near future] and I love your woolly adventures. It wasn't until row 17 of the body [14:03] that I realised you were making the little spider inside-out. XD I'd already inserted my last precious toy eyes, so had to improvise from there on... I'm so glad you encourage us to embrace our errors, slash, creatures' characters :D
Se me dificultó mucho seguir el paso a paso este tutoríal no es para mi ya tengo una semana tratando de tejer esta arañita y no puede por más que le hice el intento no no puede muchas gracias por compartir esta muy bonito tu proyecto pero definitivamente no es para mi QDTB SALUDOS😢😢😢😢😊❤
I know this videos old, but I’m still gonna ask these questions in hope of a response. I’ve been watching through the video to see if I know how to make it but here’s a few things I’m confused about. First, in row 13 what does 4[dec] mean, I know it had something to do with decreasing but that’s about it. The goes for that 4[Inc] I know it’s got something to do with increasing, that’s it too. In round 17 it has things like 6[sc, Inc] which I’m confused either I do sc then an Inc six times? The final thing is if this pattern can be done one solid colour? If so for the pumpkin design part Ide still do it however it won’t make a pattern it would just make the body the same shape? Sorry if my wording sucks, thanks if you answer, great video, great patterns :)
Hi :) so, whenever you see square brackets, you do what's in the brackets the number of times listed. 4[dec] = Dec, Dec, Dec, Dec 4[inc] = Inc, inc, inc, inc 6[sc, inc] = sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc If you just don't work the colour changes you will get the same shape, but I've also left the instructions for the pumpkin-less version as a response somewhere in the comments. (I'm on mobile right now and can't easily locate it, sorry) Hope that helps! :)
@@ComplicatedKnots No problem about the comment! I appreciate you responding so fast Now I can make a spooder for a Christmas gift! Lil’ buddy with have a beautiful Santa hat. Thanks again! :)
I absolutely loved making this spider!! Thank you for sharing this. I would really love to make a mustache for it like the one on your blue one. Could you tell me how to do that?
This is adorable and thank you sooooo much for the pattern. I have a question though, how is the wrong side facing you? Like, the side with the tail? Am I trippin'?
The hazards of being self-taught: I found out after I started this channel that I crochet backwards. I swapped to YU stitching instead of YO stitching at the start of this year, and I think that fixed it?
Hii! New to your channel. I wanted to ask about your candy spider. How did you make the candy spiral on her back? Just adorable!!❤Oops nevermind just found the video!!
Ive just finished making your lovebug now I'm here to make pumpkin dude (even though I really dont like making legs) just because I love you designs sooo much!
I just found your channel and your toys are amazing. And those pokemons. I'm a beginner with crocheting and some characters mostly from games are so difficult to make. I hope your videos will help me make a better toys. The first one will be this spider. Also I'm sorry that you're alergic to wool. 🥺
So I took this pattern and basically ran away with it. I'm not very skilled at crochet plushies. But I really wanted to try. I ended up making it with a 3d rose on the back as well as a small one on her head. I don't have safety eyes either. So I diyed some with buttons hit glue and yarn. I also changed the legs up a little. And made the peddie palps a bit more accurate. And finally I added the two tiny little web spinners on her butt.
Hey, this pattern is so great and I can't wait to try it out and make a cute little spider for my sister. However watching this video something seemed strange and I just figured out, what was driving me crazy. Is it possible, that you were stitching this pattern inside-out? I watched a lot of your videos and I just went back to some of them and usually your hook is in the front of the piece you are making and you are working clockwise. In this video the opening of the piece is in front of the hook and you are working counter-clockwise. I'm a bit confused... 😅 Can you tell me what the difference in the end result is, when you work the other way round? When that happened to me in the past, I always started over, but it looks like you can get decent results either way... Does it even make a difference?
Hi! This is one of my early EARLY videos. What you are noticing there is that I'm self taught and didn't realise I was doing it differently to everyone else. As I swapped to yarning under shortly after this, I just naturally moved to stitching on the "correct" side of the work. So yeah, long story short, crochet is very forgiving, and even doing things "wrong" can make very little difference.
@@ComplicatedKnots cool, thank you very much for explaining. I think it is so great, that you take the time to answer all these questions, even on such old videos. It makes you very likable and feels so "real", like we were just chatting about crocheting with an old friend ;-)
Thank you for the inspiration and pattern. I made the super sized spider. It has googly eyes that can be changed . How do I add a picture so you can see .
hey hey!! i’m determined and have set a goal to figure out how to make one of these little guys within a month!! i found this about 2 months ago, and i started crochet partly because of this!! i love your patterns and thank you for this!!
I crochet over a year now and just discovered your channel. I love how you design your videos and write the pattern for several rounds next to it.This will definitely not be the last thing I will do. Thank you for the cute spider and for so many other cute things you did😁
I think I have just wasted eight eyes. The pattern was going good until you got to the markings on the back and you went so fast And I couldn’t understand your diagrams. Slow and explicit would’ve been nice.
Hi - I'm sorry you're have a bad time with this pattern. Here is version you can use without the pumpkin if you'd like,just so your eyes aren't wasted. R19. 6[5sc, inc] (42) R20. 42sc (42) R21. 42sc (42) R22. 42sc (42) R23. 6[5sc, dec] (36) R24. 36sc (36) R25. 36sc (36)
i mean i had about 4 mental breakdowns ( including frogging it ALL up multiple times) when it came to the back post thing because my count was always off but now i got it and it was absolutely worth it lmao. so adorable
oh no! These days I remember to warn people to count backwards from their hook to check their stitch count whenever doing back post! I'm glad you got it worked out :)
I just noticed when you got to round 17 on the head/neck, but is there a reason why your project is in the opposite direction? I was wondering because I'm having trouble with crocheting to the back of the head properly. Also do you crochet to the back of the head every sc on that round or just the one you went through with us?
It turns out that I crocheted backwards in the early days of my channel. In Jan this year I swapped to yarning under and based on the feedback I believe its fixed the issue. Its just the one stitch!
I am super new to crochet and just started this...I do have a few questions maybe u can help? For the cotton candy colored spider I like the spiral on its back better than pumpkin making it for my first born Lil girl...it looks like a single crochet stitch..but can u tell me how to do the spiral and if it's done after like added on? Secondly I like it's pinchers better to as there 3d any way u can tell me how to achieve those to...I looked for a pattern but only saw the pumpkin one...please and thank you
Hi! The swirl is actually two rings, but you can achieve the look by making a chain, and measure it's long enough by swirling it on your spiders back. Then turn, and start in the second chain from your hook, sc along that chain. Sew it down in a swirl on his back. It may take some fiddling to get the right length, but the piece should pretty naturally curl on it's self if you don't pull it straight. For the moustache, I actually did include it in this video as well, around the 42 minute mark I explain how to make it. :)
@@aprilkittyames1025 correct, however, that's only because at the time of creating this pattern I hadn't tried surface crochet yet. It would probably work just as well/better if you wanted to try it!
Heyyy @ComplicatedKnots!!! I really love this little spider and am currently making it for my boyfriend for Halloween, I was just wondering what the transition from round 10(not a complete row, 26 stitches) to round 11(dec, 4sc, dec, 20sc) means, do I do round 10 and if so what about the leftover 2 stitches? or do I just do round 11? other than that thank you for the pattern! Happy Halloween!
Hi! I believe that R10 is slightly adjusting the start of the row, so you should be able to continue straight on into R11. I am just at my dayjob at the moment, but I'll double check for you when I get home 😁
@@ComplicatedKnots okay thank you! So those last 2 stitches would be a decrease then I continue to row 11 (row 10 and 11 being the same row), correct me if I’m wrong sorry for asking too many questions😭
@Ailyn Ask as many as you need! Ok, so I have a habit of carving things up into chunks that very occasionally aren't complete rows, because the chunks make more sense then a completed row would. So R10, we work 26sc. Then the first dec of R11 is in the next two stitches. The way I think about it is "moving the start of the row". 🙂
Hi! You want DK/3/8ply yarn with a 3.5mm hook for the size I'm making. Larger yarn will mean a bigger spider. I personally use 4seasons Marvel for the majority of my projects these days, that's just the best budget option readily available in my area.
I'm sorry but I don't get it. I must be stupid or something since nobody else said something about it, but after following your pattern on the 5th row, doing the math, if one inc=2 and one sc=1, then adding everything, 3+6+3+6+6+6+3+6+1 adds up to 40!!! but on row 5 and 6 I see I'm supposed to have 28 stitches, or loops however you wanna call it, idk I'm new to this. either way I've been struggling with this for a minute and I'm not sure if I'm the one not comprehending something or it was a mistake, either way something isn't adding up. can someone please explain this error please? like, literally, anyone
Hi! I would love to try this pattern, but how did you do the 'rings' on the back of the pink/green spider? What is the pattern for that (I'd love to try it!)?
I never expected anyone to want the candy spider, so I freehanded parts of him. Looking at his back though I believe I just chained until it was the size of the ring I wanted, then joined in a loop and sc around. They are just sewn on; there's a bigger ring and a smaller ring. I hope that helps? Thankfully I included the moustache pattern in the video so I don't have to try and remember what I did there :)
@Chelsea Around the 42 minute mark I explain the pattern. This was one of the first ones I released on my channel, I hadn't worked out how to add chapters yet 😂
I spent some time hunting for the candy spider pattern too 😅 Had hoped the details might be included in the bought pattern but the description didn't suggested they would be. Then I thought to check the comments here. Winning!
Hi there folks. I've recently been going through my old patterns to bring them up to scratch, and this particular guy needed a little bit of love. Here are a couple of adjustments I've made to the pattern shown in the video:

(Also really loved those ridges for the eyes, was a bit confused at first but i really like the way that looks ❤)
WHY IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE
R4 is just 20 stiches
HOW in earth do you put so much stuff on it on r5
the second stitch of an increase has always been super flexible for me, might make it plyable for the increase three that needs to go over it.
@@lizergin5224 I think she means to put 3sc in one stitch on "inc3"

@@aprilkittyames1025 correct, however, that's only because at the time of creating this pattern I hadn't tried surface crochet yet. It would probably work just as well/better if you wanted to try it!
Hi love the pattern. What do you mean by inc3?
3sc into the same stitch! I no longer use this notation, but don't want to take down these old patterns :)
@@ComplicatedKnots Thank you for answering the question. I am working on it. 🥰
Heyyy @ComplicatedKnots!!! I really love this little spider and am currently making it for my boyfriend for Halloween, I was just wondering what the transition from round 10(not a complete row, 26 stitches) to round 11(dec, 4sc, dec, 20sc) means, do I do round 10 and if so what about the leftover 2 stitches? or do I just do round 11? other than that thank you for the pattern! Happy Halloween!
Hi! I believe that R10 is slightly adjusting the start of the row, so you should be able to continue straight on into R11. I am just at my dayjob at the moment, but I'll double check for you when I get home 😁
@@ComplicatedKnots okay thank you! So those last 2 stitches would be a decrease then I continue to row 11 (row 10 and 11 being the same row), correct me if I’m wrong sorry for asking too many questions😭
@Ailyn Ask as many as you need! Ok, so I have a habit of carving things up into chunks that very occasionally aren't complete rows, because the chunks make more sense then a completed row would. So R10, we work 26sc. Then the first dec of R11 is in the next two stitches. The way I think about it is "moving the start of the row". 🙂
@@ComplicatedKnots thank you so much for answering, I’ll do that, stay safe💗
My goodness this is so stinking cute! Even my Arachneaphobia is oke with this spider lol 😍
Thats good, she wouldn't want to scare anyone...but maybe don't watch my "bigger" video 😅
@@ComplicatedKnots Lol I did watch that one, the cuteness cured the possibility of it being scary :p
I'm testing your pattern and modifying it to be a dice bag.... And minimal sewing, I'll post what I changed after I see the results 💞
Is there a size on the yarn you are using or one you recommend for these patterns
Hi! You want DK/3/8ply yarn with a 3.5mm hook for the size I'm making. Larger yarn will mean a bigger spider. I personally use 4seasons Marvel for the majority of my projects these days, that's just the best budget option readily available in my area.
@@ComplicatedKnots thank you
We are to use weight 4 yarn correct?
Im using DK/3 yarn. Weight 4 will work, it will just end up a bit bigger than the one shown :)
@@ComplicatedKnots awesome! Thank you. I can't wait to get started making them!
this is so cute! i love how you spaced the eyes out and how you made the mandibles on the cotton candy colored spider looks like a mustache XD
I'm sorry but I don't get it. I must be stupid or something since nobody else said something about it, but after following your pattern on the 5th row, doing the math, if one inc=2 and one sc=1, then adding everything, 3+6+3+6+6+6+3+6+1 adds up to 40!!! but on row 5 and 6 I see I'm supposed to have 28 stitches, or loops however you wanna call it, idk I'm new to this. either way I've been struggling with this for a minute and I'm not sure if I'm the one not comprehending something or it was a mistake, either way something isn't adding up. can someone please explain this error please? like, literally, anyone
never mind I read the pinned comment
NOO!!! never mind!!! it still adds up to forty!!!
@@alinabudris7303 Hi :) inc3 = 3 stitches into the same stitch. I think that's how you are getting to forty.
Hi! I would love to try this pattern, but how did you do the 'rings' on the back of the pink/green spider? What is the pattern for that (I'd love to try it!)?
I never expected anyone to want the candy spider, so I freehanded parts of him. Looking at his back though I believe I just chained until it was the size of the ring I wanted, then joined in a loop and sc around. They are just sewn on; there's a bigger ring and a smaller ring. I hope that helps? Thankfully I included the moustache pattern in the video so I don't have to try and remember what I did there :)
@@ComplicatedKnots awesome! Thanks so much :) Would you be able to tell me the pattern for the moustache at all?
@Chelsea Around the 42 minute mark I explain the pattern. This was one of the first ones I released on my channel, I hadn't worked out how to add chapters yet 😂
@@ComplicatedKnots Thank you so much!
I spent some time hunting for the candy spider pattern too 😅 Had hoped the details might be included in the bought pattern but the description didn't suggested they would be. Then I thought to check the comments here. Winning!
