Earl is a well-dressed Spider. From his pastel colours to his kawaii smile, he’s sure to bring joy!

The pattern is an easy level and uses US terms. A knowledge of how to crochet is essential as it does not teach you how to crochet, it simply provides instructions to make the toy.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Gizmo is approx. 5cm high x 17cm wide.

You will receive one PDF file which requires software like Adobe Reader to open (this is free to download).

You will need:

  • 3.50mm hook/E (US)
  • 10ply yarn (Worsted / Aran) > 50g PURPLE, less than 50g in GREEN and PINK
  • BLACK embroidery thread
  • A pair of 10mm safety eyes
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Polyester toy stuffing
  • Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

  • Amigurumi is usually worked in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best.
  • Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
  • I’ve used Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/8 in the following yarns: o PURPLE = colour 63 Lilac o GREEN = colour 100 Pastel green o PINK = colour 45 Candy Floss
