Crochet Tarantula pattern

The pattern contains 8 pages of instructional material accompanied by 48 photos.
Basic crochet skills are a prerequisite.
The pattern is available in English (US terms).
The final size will depend on the yarn you use. To get the smallest size, use embroidery thread.

Crochet level: begginer and above.
To crochet this Tarantula, you will need:

• Gamma Cloud embroidery floss in light brown. Separate 1 strand from the skein. (Possible substitutes: Adelia Kiss yarn, tapestry wool, mohair yarn or any other textured yarn you can brush). The thinner is the thread, the smaller is your finished toy, and vice versa.
• 0.5 mm black metal (copper blend) wire for legs.
• 0.5 mm crochet hook.
• Gel super glue.
• Gel clear glue.
• Thin strong needle.
• Sharp manicure scissors, pliers.
• Any paint for toning. I used watercolor. But acrylic or oil paint will do too. Shades: dark brown and orange.
• Brush for toning.
• Fiver filler.
• Slicker brush or rough toothbrush. (To brush the body)
• Toothpick or a broken felting needle to use as a stuffing tool.
