SPIDER

My daughter has been asking for a spider. She saw a pattern for one on the internet. I told her that I would come up with one. My inspiration to come up with a pattern that is almost no sew is Spooktacular Spider by Rachel Baumann of ChiChi’s Whimsical Crochet. Here is the pattern I came up with. She picked the eye color and accent color. This pattern can be made in any combination of colors.
