~~~All Hallow’s Eve is an evening of revelry and enchantment, and also a night of transformation. For on this one single night, the Samhain Fey transform from earthly creatures into creatures of the Fey. Lady Spinderella is such a creature. In her earthly form she is that of a spider, but on Halloween night she transforms into a spidery little faerie girl with glistering black eyes and white cobwebby hair, who is a guardian of all things pumpkin-y.~~~

Finished size: 7 1/2 inches high (19 cm) when standing (not including the hat)

Level: Intermediate
I say ‘intermediate’ because all the knitted parts of this pattern are knitted in the round on smaller needles, and because using wire in dolls usually takes some practice. If, however, you don’t mind knitting in the round and have used wire before, than this pattern should be quite easy for you.
This pattern has 17 pages, and 53 colour illustrations to help you on your way.

Skills: Knitting in the round, basic sewing, bending wire (and perhaps some ability to weave magic)

Needles: 3 mm (US 2.5) double points; 2.5 mm (US 1.5) double points; 2 mm (US 0) double points

Yarns: Fingering Weight Cotton; Fingering Weight Wool/Acrylic; Worsted Weight Acrylic

Extras: 12 mm safety eyes; fiberfill; 18 gauge stem wire; wire cutters; felt; cardboard; hot glue gun; thread/needle; black acrylic paint; paint brush; small decorative white pumpkin

Note: Lady Spinderella is not a toy and is not at all suitable for small children. She is meant for decorative purposes only. Also, please note that, while Lady Spinderella can stand if leaning against something, she cannot stand on her own. Her legs and arms can also be bent so that she can be posed in a variety of different ways.

Also, as seen in last photo, Lady Spinderella’s Witch Hat looks quite fetching on my Toad Familiars!
