Meet Spinerella the Giant Spider! Her favorite season is the Fall, and she's come out of hiding to enjoy the crisp air and watch the leaves turn colors. Despite her scary appearance, Selena is actually quite shy. She enjoys growing plants and has quite the green thumb! If given the chance, she can rattle off dozens of facts about them as she's quite the plant expert. It all comes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.


*Measurements: 17 in. x 22 in. [43.18 cm x 55.88 cm] if using the prescribed materials.

TIPS:

-Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each round (especially important since this fuzzy chenille yarn can make it difficult to see!)
-Use sewing pins to position parts on evenly.
-Fluff up your stuffing by pulling it apart and inserting it little by little to make your amigurumi more even. Stuff it
some more right before closing using the tips of your scissors for a firmer shape.
-Note that my jumbo patterns do not transfer to thinner yarn weights well. The dimensions will be off!
-Please note that when you cut this specific type of chenille yarn, experiencing some loose fibers is normal. If you would like, you can use a lighter to gently burn the yarn tails.
-If you are experiencing breakage when trying to pull your magic circle closed, create the starting ring with the alternative method of: ch 2, make 6 (or 8) sc into the second ch from the hook.
-If you are experiencing your flat circle becoming a cone shape, this means your tension is too tight. Size up a hook or loosen up.
-The pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems) are the best tool for giving Spinerella's legs structure. Because of their texture, they are less likely to poke through the stitches while cuddling. You may substitute for floral wire if needed, however.
