I have MANY Finger Knitting Favourites, you will simply have to check them all out for yourself.. as I can’t choose the one! But before you do.. do take a peak at today’s simple Finger Knitting Spider!!

How to make a Finger Knitted Spider for Halloween

Now I say these Finger Knitted Spiders are great Halloween decorations to finger knit.. but of course you can make these whenever you want.. they would be perfect for a rendition of Incy Wincy Spider too.. don’t you think?

What do you think? Aren’t they the cutest?! As mentioned in the video – using pipecleaners for the legs is the QUICKEST way to make your finger knitted spiders. Cheaper and equally cute (but takes a bit longer) are the plaited yarn leg versions!!! So you have a choice depending on time and the child’s dexterity!
