Crochet Spider
Looking for a Bernat Blanket Yarn pattern for a chubby spider amigurumi? Look no further! Terrance the Tarantula is the crochet spider you’ve been looking for.
I love Bernat Blanket Yarn and thought I would add another pattern to the mix using it. Since Halloween is approaching fast, I wanted to make a chubby amigurumi. Thus Terrance the chubby crochet spider was born!
Terrance the Tarantula is an intermediate amigurumi pattern since the placement of the safety eyes and mouth can be a little complex. Not to mention you have to sew on the 8 chubby legs!
