This is the pattern for a spider appliqué.
There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel.
I’ve used 8 ply cotton and a 2.5mm crochet hook but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

The pattern produces a finished spider measuring 11cm x 11cm (4" x 4") when made with 8 ply wool, or a smaller 6cm x 6cm (2.5" x 2.5") version when worked in 4 ply crochet cotton. The spider features a structured body with legs and embroidered facial details including eyes and mouth.
This intermediate-level pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters with basic experience.

The spider pattern is adorable and the spiders are a good size. They encompass your entire hand and are very life like without being scary or creepy! Very nice pattern! Not too difficult, but they require some experience with crocheting and do take a bit of time.
