Love micro crocheting and dark, spooky themes? If so, this crochet tiny spider by Anastasia Kirs is your next must-try project! It’s so small that it can be used literally anywhere. Perfect for Halloween and beyond, it’s a great treat for all spider lovers!
Is Micro Crochet Difficult?
Micro crocheting is generally more difficult than regular crochet patterns. It is mainly due to the size of the project. The smaller the item, the more challenging it is to work and count the stitches. Micro crocheting projects also call for very thin threads and super small hooks.
This crochet tiny spider pattern isn’t particularly demanding because of its simple shape. Therefore, I would recommend it for intermediate crocheters looking to give micro crocheting a try.
How Small Is the Finished Tiny Spider?
The finished size of this crochet spider amigurumi is 1 inch (2,6 cm). Yes, it’s that small! This makes it a great addition for bigger projects. If you would like to increase the spider’s size, go for thicker yarn and a larger hook.
Tools and Materials You’ll Need
This project isn’t worked with a regular yarn – it calls for thread yarn. The designer suggests using Kirov Yarn Mills Mouline, which is a very thin 100% cotton thread. You will need about 2-3 yards of yarn to complete each spider and a 0.6 mm crochet hook.
Apart from these essential supplies, you should also prepare thin black wire, stuffing, and glue gel.
Creative Ways to Use Your Tiny Spider
This pattern provides the perfect opportunity to create something eerie for the Halloween season. These tiny arachnids are perfect for adding a subtle touch of spookiness to bigger projects. Use them to decorate your home or add an unexpected twist to your costumes and accessories, like a witch hat, trick-or-treat bag, or spider web necklace.
