Miles Morales Style Spider-Boy – Complete Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Gathering Your Supplies

To get that sleek superhero look, smooth cotton yarn is best for crisp stitch definition.

  • Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or acrylic blend (e.g., YarnArt Jeans, Catania).
    • Black: Main color for body, head, arms, and legs.
    • Red: For the hood, shoes, gloves/cuffs, and spider emblem.
    • White: For the eyes (or white felt).
  • Hook: 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm (choose the size that gives you a tight, stuff-proof gauge).
  • Notions:
    • Poly-fil stuffing
    • Tapestry needle
    • Scissors
    • Stitch markers
    • White Felt: For the large mask eyes (highly recommended for that sharp comic book look).
    • Red Embroidery Floss: For the spider emblem on the chest.

What you'll master: Color changing techniques, assembling multi-part dolls, and adding character-defining details.

A sturdy, pear-shaped body to support our hero.

  • R3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
    • This forms the red shoe.
  • R4 (Black): 18 sc in BLO (18)

What you'll master: Clean color changes and using BLO for definition.

  • Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Do not stuff (or stuff very lightly). Make 2.

What you'll master: Creating uniform, lightly stuffed appendages.

7. The Hood (Red)

  • Finishing: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Do not stuff.

What you'll master: Creating a conical shape that fits over another piece.

8. Assembly & The Magic of Details

Now for the most rewarding part: bringing your Spider-Boy to life!

  1. Legs to Body: Sew the two legs to the bottom of the body, spacing them evenly so the doll can sit.
  2. Arms to Body: Sew the arms to the upper sides of the body.
  3. Head to Body: Sew the head securely to the top of the body.
  4. The Hood: Place the red hood over the top of the head. It should cover the top half of the head and drape down the back of the neck. Sew the bottom edge of the hood to the neck/shoulders of the body to secure it. You can also tack it to the sides of the head so it stays in place.
  5. The Eyes:
    • Cut two large, angled oval shapes out of white felt (refer to the photo for the shape—they are wider at the top and pointy at the bottom corners).
    • Sew or glue them onto the face, positioned centrally.
    • Optional: Use black embroidery floss to outline the eyes for extra definition.
  6. The Spider Emblem: Using red embroidery floss and a needle, embroider a small spider on the center of the chest. A simple "star" shape with legs works perfectly!
    • Center body: A small vertical line or oval.
    • Legs: 4 legs curving out to the left, 4 legs curving out to the right.

What you'll master: Multi-step structural assembly and adding character-defining surface details.
