Spider Crochet Pattern

Meet Mitchell the Spider

The only thing scary about this spider is that he’s so shockingly cute! Mitchell is a great beginner crochet project, and a super-fun one for the holiday!

Mitchell measures 7.5″ tall when crocheted with a worsted weight yarn.

Materials Required

Plymouth Galway Worsted is the yarn used in the sample: Black (90 yards) and White (10 yards). This pattern can be used with any weight yarn, but plan on using more yardage for bulkier yarns.
