Spidey
Spidey is an enjoyable, spooky knit. Spidey is created through the use of two-color twisted stitches, along with some unusual stitches like cluster stitches and k5tog (instructions included) that emphasize the three-dimensional qualities of the motif. This pumpkin will be a great addition to your fall décor.
While it is written for two colors, this pumpkin can also be knit in a single color, since the spider is 3-D. Be sure to allow for enough yardage if making this option.
This pattern provides a chart for the spider section of the pumpkin. The instructions for that section are also written out line-by-line. These instructions are provided at the end of the pattern and need not be printed if one is using the chart.
Skills Needed: Working in the round, reading colorwork charts (line-by-line instructions for the charted sections are also included), knitting through the back loop, yarnovers, kfb, m1 and m1p increases, k2tog, ssk, p2tog and p2tog tbl decreases, twisted stitches, and i-cord (instructions included).
