I don’t know about you, but I am not liking all these new AI images of crochet items, that aren’t real! So when I found a free Spiderman crochet pattern, I was excited. But then it turned out not to be a pattern for the photo.
So I decided to create my own pattern and share it for free.
Materials:
For this pattern, I used these materials:
- Red Heart Yarn: Cherry Red, Black, White, and Royal
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Poly-Fil
- Scissors
- Row Marker
- Pins
Pattern
Finishes size is roughly 8.5 inches tall, and 5.5 inches wide (outside of arm to outside or arm).
Abbreviations:
- MR- Magic Ring
- Sl St- Slip Stitch
- CH- Chain
- SC- Single Crochet
- DC- Double Crochet
- Inc- Increase
- Dec- Descend
- BLO- Back Loop Only
- CC- Change color
- Rnd- Rounds

Finish off, close the hole and weave in your end. Set the head aside and start working on the legs now.

Row 4: (1 SC, Inc) x6 (18)

Row 14: SC all (19)
Row 15: (Dec, 1 SC) x6, 1 SC (13)
Row 16: (1 SC, Dec)x4 1 SC (9)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing on the head. (I did not close the hole)
Arms:
Make 2 (only stuff arms 1/2 to 3/4 full)
Start with red yarn, 6 SC in a MR
Row 2: (1 SC, Inc) x3 (9)
Row 3: (2 SC, Inc) x3 (12)
Row 4: SC all (12)
Change color to blue
Row 5-9: SC all, 5 rnds (12)
Row 10: (2 SC, Dec) x3 (9)
Row 11-13: SC all, 3 rnds (9)
Change color to red
Row 14-15: SC all, 2 rnds (9)
Fold arm in half and 4 SC across. Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing arms to the body.
You will sew the arms between rows 15 and 14 on each side of the body.
Now is when I also sew on the head. Make sure there is enough stuffing in the ‘neck’ area before you completely close the hole.
Eyes
Make 2, working with white and black yarn.
Starting with white, work 6 SC in a MR, pull closed, do not join. CH2 and turn
Row 2: DC in same ST, (DC Inc) x4, DC in last ST (10)
Finish off and weave in ends.
Outline for eyes
In black, join to a corner of the eye, SC across the flat edge, SC 2 in the corners. When working around the curve of the eye, FLO SC. Join into your first black ST and finish off. Leave a long tail for sewing to the head.
Pin the eyes where you would like them on the head, and sew them on.
Spider
Embroider the spider on his chest how you would like, using black yarn.
You can also use iron on vinyl if you’d like to make the spider. If your Spiderman is meant to be a toy, I don’t recommend the vinyl because its might peel off easier due to the texture of crochet. (I have done both embroidery and vinyl of the spider. Vinyl spider pictured below, embroidered spiders is picture in the photo at the top of the post)
And you’re finished!
I hope you enjoyed making this pattern. If you have any question or comments, please feel free to reach out to me!
