Meet the cutest little spider you will ever crochet. Soft, round, and just a bit fuzzy, this tiny amigurumi is the kind of project that makes people say “wait, you made that?” And the best part: it is made with no sewing at all. No attaching legs, no wobbly pieces, no stressful assembly at the end.
The video tutorial runs about 30 minutes, so you can finish a spider in a single cozy session. Keep reading for a few helpful tips before you start, then scroll down to watch the full tutorial.
Why You Will Love This Spider
- No sewing required. The legs and body come together as you crochet, so you skip the most frustrating part of amigurumi.
- Fast to make. Around 30 minutes of crocheting along with the video.
- Beginner friendly. If you know the basics of crocheting in the round, you can follow along.
- Super cute and squishy. A plush little spider that is more adorable than spooky.
- Great for gifts. Easy to make in multiples, so you can crochet one for everyone.
What You Will Need
The complete materials list is shown in the video, so check it before you begin. In general, you will want:
- Soft, plush-style yarn (the spider in the tutorial has a lovely fuzzy look)
- A crochet hook that matches your yarn
- Fiberfill for stuffing
- Black safety eyes or small black beads
- A stitch marker
- Scissors and a yarn needle for weaving in ends
- A little extra yarn or cord if you want to turn your spider into a hanging charm
Tips for a Neat No-Sew Spider
Keep your stitches tight. Tight stitches give your spider a firm, rounded shape and keep the stuffing hidden, especially with fuzzy yarn.
Use a stitch marker every round. Working in a spiral makes it easy to lose your place, and a marker saves you from recounting.
Stuff as you go. Add stuffing a little at a time so the body stays round and even.
Choose your colors freely. Classic gray is gorgeous, but black, purple, pink, or pastel spiders look just as sweet.
Make a whole family. Once you have made one, you will want a few more in different colors and sizes.
Fun Ways to Use Your Crochet Spider
- Hang it from your car rearview mirror as a cute charm
- Attach it to your bag or backpack
- Clip it onto a keychain
- Place it on a shelf, desk, or bookcase as a decoration
