Learn how to crochet an amigurumi “Spider King” plushie using chunky chenille yarn with this step-by-step tutorial for beginners. It has elegant crochet 6 eyes and an orange and black colorwork. You can also crochet your big spider plush using the black and purple scheme. Works up fast and has little sewing needed.
The project begins with a continuous head-and-body piece shaped with single crochet increases and decreases, incorporating multiple safety eyes in graduated sizes (14 mm, 12 mm, and 8 mm) and striped color changes before being stuffed and closed.
Next, six two-tone main legs and two smaller front pedipalps are crocheted with partial stuffing. Finally, all eight limbs are aligned and sewn securely to the underside of the body, creating an adorable, spooky spider base ready for optional web embroidery and crown accessories.
