Notes

Pattern test for Emily Nigro
@Willow.AndWild on IG.

Needed MANY stitch markers!!! Even for sc sts. Mark the sc st which is the start of each leg, plus the final sl st of each leg, plus the st immediately following the leg.

Also do the chains for Leg1 VERY loosely - I thought I’d done mine loose, but the legs were still a different sort of shape to Leg2 and not as neat.

Another note: do the beads on the back loosely (“inline”, so that they lie flat), otherwise they will be sticky-outy like the pink ones.

Stitch marker key:
Yellow: sc
Red: start of round
Lt blue: final slst of leg
Blue: 1st sc of 1st leg
Purple: 1st sc of 2nd leg
Orange: 1st st after leg
Pink: sc bead

1st spider:
Purple glitter: 85.8g / 80.48g / (5.32g)

2nd spider:
Pastel multi: 36.47g / 32.03g / (4.44g)

For info only:
3rd spider:
Silver Creative bubble: 54.42g / 46.85g / (7.57g)

Tried the following yarn, but it was impossible to work with and you couldn’t see the beads:
Silver eyelash: 52.34g / n/a / ()
White 2ply cotton: 334.15g / n/a / ()
