Pattern description
This playful Halloween spider features adorably oversized eyes in bright magenta and purple, with delightfully expressive details that give it a friendly, almost cartoon-like charm.

Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
