Youll work in continuous rounds for smooth shaping and use back-loop-only (BLO) stitches on the body to emphasize the stripes. Clear assembly photos and notes help with finishing and placement.

Why You'll Love This Spinderella the Spider Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines simple amigurumi shaping with bright, playful colorwork that really pops. The pumpkin hat and striped body give the spider tons of personality, and the separate pieces let you practice neat sewing and finishing. I enjoy how quick each leg works up — theyre satisfying to make and fun to attach as a group. This design always brings smiles, especially when used as a festive decoration or a small handmade gift.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this spider by changing the stripe colors — try pastel tones for a softer, friendlier look or high-contrast neons for a bold, playful effect.

If you want a mini keychain, use sock or fingering weight yarn with a 1.75–2.0mm hook to create a tiny, portable version of Spinderella.

To make a chunkier, cuddlier spider, switch to a worsted or aran weight yarn and a 4.0mm hook; youll get a larger, snuggly toy perfect for little hands.

I often swap the pumpkin hat for a tiny bow or a felt flower to adapt the spider for different holidays or themes — felt accessories are quick to cut and sew on.

Try adding embroidered mouth expressions or tiny eyelash stitches to give Spinderella a range of personalities from sleepy to mischievous.

For a posable version, consider inserting thin craft wire inside the legs before finishing; this lets you pose the legs for display while still being safe if sealed securely.

I like to mix yarn textures — a sparkly metallic strand held with the main yarn can add festive shimmer to the stripes for seasonal decorations.

Combine two completed spiders in different sizes to create a mother-and-baby set — vary the yarn weight or hook size to get different scales quickly.

If you prefer sewn-on eyes, crochet the eye pieces as written but use embroidered or felt pupils instead of safety eyes for a soft toy suitable for younger children.

Finally, dont be afraid to play with leg length and shoe colors — you can make the legs longer or shorter by adding or removing rounds, and change the shoe color to match any themed outfit or decor.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping BLO on body rounds will flatten the stripe texture; follow the note to crochet BLO on all body rounds to get the intended striped effect. ✗ Forgetting to stuff as you go causes lumps and uneven shaping; stuff gradually while crocheting and add small amounts to shape evenly. ✗ Not inserting eyes at the right round will misplace facial features; stop after round 27 of the head and insert eyes between rounds 26 and 27 as instructed. ✗ Changing colors unevenly creates messy stripes; change colors every two lines and carry yarn neatly or weave in ends to maintain tidy stripes.

— Assembly :

Info :

Crochet the body & head as instructed.

Info :

Stuff gradually while crocheting.

Info :

Stop when you finish crochet rnd 27 of the Head.

Info :

Crochet 2 eyes as instructed and insert black safety eyes 6mm into the eye pieces.

Info :

Insert the eyes between rnd 26 & 27 of the head and put the eye lids on, then crochet the last rnd of the head.

Info :

Use the tapestry needle to weave in the last 6 sts, hide remaining yarn and sew 2 eyes on the head.

Info :

Hide the remaining yarn. Join yarn A on the 1st of the 2nd rnd of the Body and continue crocheting *ch 3, slst 1 on the next st* on the remaining loop of rnd 2-17 to form stripes (remember to change the color each 2 lines to create the color stripes for the Spider).

Info :

Crochet the pumpkin's hat as instructed and sew the hat on the head; continue to crochet the Stem and sew it on the hat.

Info :

Attach the 1st legs as shown in the photos. Attach the first 3 legs on one side as seen, then attach the other 3 legs on the opposite side. The distance between each leg is 1 rnd and 1 st higher than the previous leg for a natural staggered placement.

Info :

Weave in all ends and secure legs and hat firmly; adjust stuffing if necessary for balance.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the eyes between rounds 26 and 27 of the head, place the eye lids and then crochet the last round to secure them before stuffing the head fully.
  • Join yarn A on the 1st stitch of the 2nd round of the body and work *ch 3, slst 1 on the next st* along the remaining loop of rounds 2-17 to create the raised stripe rows; change color every two lines as in the pattern.
  • Sew the pumpkin hat on top of the head using the long tail left when finishing the hat, then sew the stem onto the hat securely with a tapestry needle.
  • Attach the first three legs on one side of the body and the remaining three legs on the opposite side, spacing them so each next leg is 1 round and 1 stitch higher than the previous leg for even staggered placement.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use BLO (back loop only) on all body rounds to get the textured stripes as intended by the design.
  • 💡Stuff gradually while crocheting the head and body so you can shape them evenly and avoid lumps.
  • 💡Insert the safety eyes between rounds 26 and 27 of the head before finishing the final decreases to anchor them securely.

This cheerful Spinderella pattern brings playful color and a tiny pumpkin hat to life with simple amigurumi techniques.
