Black Widow Amigurumi

This is my first design, so I hope it works for any who choose to try it. I couldn't find any black widow spider patterns for amigurumi that I liked, so I just decided to create my own.

G hook
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn – Black and Red
Polyfill
Safety Eyes - 10 MM (2)
Black Pipe Cleaners (4)

Main Body (Black)

Rd 1: 6 sc in magic ring
Rd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12)
Rd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next; repeat around (18)
Rd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next; repeat around (24)
Rd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next; repeat around (30)
Rd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next; repeat around (36)
Rd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next; repeat around (42)
Rd 8-13: sc in each sc around (42)
Rd 14: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc; repeat around (36)

Head (Black)

Rd 5-7: sc in each sc around (20) - finish off, leaving extra long tail

Attach eyes, then using tail, attach head to body, aligning TOP of head to center of body. Head should be attached at end of body where Rd 19 was completed. Stuff as you go and weave in remaining tail when finished.

Hourglass (Red)

ch 6
Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and each sc across (5 sc), ch 1, turn
Row 2: sc in second sc and in next 2 sc (3 sc), ch 1, turn

Attach hourglass to bottom rear of body using tail.

Legs (Pipe Cleaners)

Feed first pipe cleaner through a single stitch at bottom of head, twist to secure and shape as desired. Fold over each end to form a thicker tip.

Repeat with three more pipe cleaners, descending toward main body. Last set of legs should be at joint where head meets body.
