Halloween is just around the corner and I continue to introduce you to beginner level amigurumi toys that you can make during this time. Today I will share a spider amigurumi keychain pattern that you can make using chenille yarn. This amigurumi toy can be used as a keychain or especially for decoration purposes. Since it is small in size, it can also be used as a door or light ornament.
