Easy Crochet Spider Pattern
Looking for a quick project to whip up for Halloween? This no-sew crochet spider would make a fun addition to your seasonal decor. It’s an easy beginner friendly pattern that’s perfect for spooky season.
I never thought I’d say this about a spider but… how cute is this little guy?!
I’m not a fan of spiders. I think they’re super creepy so the goal was to create something cute and fun. No creep factor here.
This adorable crochet spider uses simple stitches for a quick beginner friendly amigurumi project. The legs are crocheted as we go making it no-sew and the plush yarn makes it extra fuzzy and cute.
You can easily customise your crochet spider by using different colours or glow-in-the-dark yarn. You could even give it a little hat or bow for extra personality.

Finished Size
The finished spider measures approximately 4″ (10cm) wide including the legs. Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
Notes
- Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.
- The pattern is worked from the bottom up.
Pattern Instructions
Spider
R1: Ch 2, 8 sc in second ch from hook (8)
R2: [Inc] x8 (16)
R3: [Sc, inc] x8 (24)
In this next round we’ll be creating the legs.
R4: 5 sc, [ch 5, sl st in second ch from hook and in each ch across, sc in next st] x4, 8 sc, [ch 5, sl st in second ch from hook and in each ch across, sc in next st] x4, 3 sc (24 + 8 legs)
Fold the legs down in front and ignore them in the next round. Crochet into the sc sts between each leg.
R5-8: [Sc] x24 (24) 4 rounds
Insert safety eyes between R5 and R6. Place the 6mm eyes next to the first leg on each side and the 8mm eyes one st over with approximately 2-3 sts between them.
R9: [Sc, invdec] x8 (16)
Start stuffing and continue to stuff as you go.
R10: [Invdec] x8 (8)
Cut the yarn leaving a tail and pull through last st. Weave the yarn tail through the front loops only of the final round and pull to close. Hide the end inside the spider.
Using 4 ply black yarn or black embroidery floss, sew a mouth between the eyes over R5. I like to make it a slight curve.
