This PDF pattern includes 10 pages of detailed charts and line-by-line instructions for knitting your fanged friend, complete with photographic illustrations and illuminating technical notes.

As an added bonus, this pattern allows you to choose between two colorwork charts for the design of your spider’s abdomen, or to create your own abdominal colorwork with a blank chart.
