Pattern Details

You Get. . .

  • A full-sized pattern – no enlarging needed.
  • Detailed instructions with lots and lots of step-by-step photos. You’ll never feel lost or wonder if you’re doing things right.

Size

So how big is the Not-So-Itsy-Bitsy spider? Not HUGE. With the legs all bent up as shown it's about 3 1/3 inches across. That will pretty much fill up the palm of an adult's hand.

 

Difficulty

Super easy! This spider uses just two super simple stitches to make – whipstitch and backstitch. And if you skip the face it's only whipstitch! Those stitches are so easy I teach them to kids as young as six.

Seriously – cutting the pieces out is harder than sewing this guy up. You can do it!

    Materials Needed

    You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.

    You’ll need. . .

    • 1/4 sheet wool felt for the body (I used Smoky Marble for the friendly spider and Licorice for the spooky one)
    • a pipecleaner
    • black embroidery thread for the face (optional)
    • matching embroidery thread for the felt (I used DMC #535 to match the Smoky Marble and DMC #3799 to match the Licorice)
    • a tiny pinch of polyester fiberfill (you can use a cotton ball instead)

    You might also want some freezer paper (optional, but recommended)
