This little spider is the perfect project if you’re just getting started with dpns, or have always wanted to try. Knit the body in the round, attach 8 pieces of yarn for legs, and voila - you’re done! It measures 2 1/2 inches long.

Most of the 25 patterns in Knits for Kitties can be completed in just a couple of hours, and with yarn you already have in your stash. There are patterns for every skill level from beginner to advanced, and each one has lots of options and ways to personalize it. These patterns were designed to be cat toys, but they make great human toys too!
