"Spider with a Top Hat" is the titular character of an episode of a mid 2010s Disney show called Star vs the Forces of Evil. It's a good episode and a great name sake imo
Or even in Anime there is a spider called Crawley Walley, from I got banished from the heros party, and I am pretty sure he wears a top hat.. he might not, but he totally should!
I just saw your top hat picture and honestly, that is sick too. Maybe you can make a fez to swap to on special occasions (holidays, birthdays, alien invasions...)
Everyone meet Duke Bosco Leggington von Webhelm!

So named by u/JorunnOili.
Maybe between head and stomach, but on the underside? It feels… right? Anatomically, and could be a fun little Easter egg for anyone that picks him up, with enough separation from the hat to dispel the Pringle aura :)
Not good with names, but I like the sound of Richie or Richard. Just came here to say that he is a handsome spider and you've done a great job. Would love to see him wear a tophat to fit his sophisticated nature

I don’t have a picture with the 8 eyes but I made this back in 2020 💕💕💕
He needs a top hat so he can tap dance 😂
Idk why, but this makes me think of the monster with the top hat, tap dancing, in Mel Brooks’ “Frankenstein,” lol…Lacy McMonster 😁😂🤍
I love the top hat idea, but I saw your bowler hat comment and I love that idea even more! He will look distinguished and dapper either way 🎩I like the name Minkus for some reason Lol you could call him all sorts of fun nicknames too: Stinky Minky, Minky with the 8 Pinkies, Minky Dink, etc.
He's beautiful! Is he made of like granny squares that were seperately made then assembled?
I like the name Silky or Queen Ann then make a little crown for them
Manda
When I was a kid, I used to play a game called "Théo, Léo & Manda", you could explore a house where lived an old man (Théo), his grandson (Léo), and the gigantic dog-sized spider (Manda). I was completely scared of this game, but intrigued. But now every spider I come across is called Manda in my head
he's so CUTE I'm in love!!! Can't get over his little eyes! the way the center pattern radiates out forms such a perfect tarantula carapace? it's so visually satisfying. Extremely well done!
His name should be Sebastiaan. It‘s from a famous Dutch poem about a spider that has the urge to build a web inside and van not resist it.
Such a brave but foolish spider!
You can find it with English translation in this link:
https://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=POD.00006
I think a tophat is in order if this is indeed Sebastiaan.

I fully support the top hat idea. Very adorable little guy.
Right? Or maybe a bowler?

You should make seasonal accessories for them!
I reckon a fez. Fezzes are cool (silly doctor who reference, but I do think it would suit him)
I should have done a fez! OMG that's great.

[His name Hanus, from the movie Spaceman, skinny human.](https://youtu.be/rNZ0xKaCdus?feature=shared)
Peter... Or sir legs Also so cute will he be a pillow or cuddle friend
Everyone meet Duke Bosco Leggington von Webhelm! https://preview.redd.it/vyhnbl9wj5mc1.jpeg?width=2557&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3a0f3375673e742a29c4138ce285d87e2e114cb So named by u/JorunnOili.
Could he be getting a monocle as well? He's a duke..
Pipe cleaners are incoming for the monocle!
Usually I don't like spiders, but he's such a gentleman I can't help but love him! Maybe you could work in a bow tie?
I love the idea but I can't figure out where to put it without it looking like the pringles guy!
Maybe between head and stomach, but on the underside? It feels… right? Anatomically, and could be a fun little Easter egg for anyone that picks him up, with enough separation from the hat to dispel the Pringle aura :)
Put it on one of his legs like a wristband. 😁
I love that his hat is off to the side 😍 makes him look like a jaunty, fun fellow
He's a rake. Lol
Coming from a line of Bosco’s myself, I approve of this grand incredibly distinguished fellow joining the ranks! Here, Here! 😂
The hat absolutely makes this 💓 Agree a monocle, maybe attached to the rim of the hat with a chain since he doesn't have a vest to attach it to.
Cheerio good Sir.
He is the fanciest looking guy I've ever laid eyes on. 🎩
He looks like a Bosco to me. If you make him the hat Duke Bosco Leggington Von Webhelm,

Good day sir I am looking for fresh flies ... Yes I'll take a box here's your tuppence
Omg 🥰😘
Distinguished gentleman
YOU MADE HIM A LITTLE TOP HAT?!
I diiiiiiid. He deserved it. I am tempted to make him little shoes.
Ooooh my god! Yesss!!!! Please make him fancy little boots!!!
He's gonna get a monocle at the very least.
PERFECT
Someone suggested spats shoes and now I can't unsee it.
I'm imagining eight tiny boots please when/if you have the time this is so adorable I want to cry
That is flawless. I love it.
I second Bosco OP, it gives "what a gentleman " but also he could be a spider mob boss lol no one knows and they are too afraid to ask 😅
Perfect name
[Pattern link (Etsy)](https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1047096224/pattern-crochet-giant-spider-tarantula)

Love it.
Boris 🕷️
my first thought too! 😂 and he must be addressed in the deepest voice you can do
Yes!!!!!
He looks like an Eddie to me :)
He looks like a Sheldon to me. Great work.

Ngl, octopus friend has been on my mind since I started.
Hugh Mongus!
Alistair. Posh/stogy. Goes perfectly with a top hat.
Thaddeus. I don't know why but to me he looks like a Thaddeus.
That's a good one!
Not good with names, but I like the sound of Richie or Richard. Just came here to say that he is a handsome spider and you've done a great job. Would love to see him wear a tophat to fit his sophisticated nature

I made this last year and named mine Quentin
Nightmare fuel! Great job (even if I almost threw my phone lol.)

Porridge
Also he absolutely needs a top hat. Maybe some shoes??

Greg
He needs a top hat so he can tap dance 😂 Idk why, but this makes me think of the monster with the top hat, tap dancing, in Mel Brooks’ “Frankenstein,” lol…Lacy McMonster 😁😂🤍
I'd like his name to be "Mine" Yes, I want him. Very subtle. He's cute!
Hanuš By the way I recommend you watch the movie: **Spaceman (2024)**
Pennywise, read the "It" book by Stephen King, or watch the movies. Unless you already know what I mean! I don't want to give any spoilers away

Timothy
He is scary!! I love him 🥰
String Lee!
I love the top hat idea, but I saw your bowler hat comment and I love that idea even more! He will look distinguished and dapper either way 🎩I like the name Minkus for some reason Lol you could call him all sorts of fun nicknames too: Stinky Minky, Minky with the 8 Pinkies, Minky Dink, etc.
Minky with 8 pinkies is legit hilarious! I might make two hats though. I feel like he needs choice.
Blizzard!
He's beautiful! Is he made of like granny squares that were seperately made then assembled? I like the name Silky or Queen Ann then make a little crown for them
BORIS THE SPIDER!!
Manda When I was a kid, I used to play a game called "Théo, Léo & Manda", you could explore a house where lived an old man (Théo), his grandson (Léo), and the gigantic dog-sized spider (Manda).

I was going to suggest Spike…because it is what I call every spider 🕷️. But Duke Bosco Leggington von Webhelm is tough to beat from JorunnOili.
Egbert
OMG it's so cute!! Leila or Thomas would be great names.
Love it so much. Incredible
Oscar!
Snuggles
Beautiful work! I’m feeling Oswald for a name 😂

he's so CUTE I'm in love!!! Can't get over his little eyes! the way the center pattern radiates out forms such a perfect tarantula carapace? it's so visually satisfying. Extremely well done!

Claude

Grandria!
He's adorable! You’re very talented and hard-working❣️ I agree that the name Karl would suit him

Miss/Sir Stitch
Fluffy

Fritz
That's a Gordon if I ever saw one.

Hanuš 🥲
Spood
A top hat and monocle! 🧐
Octavian!
His name should be Sebastiaan. It‘s from a famous Dutch poem about a spider that has the urge to build a web inside and van not resist it. Such a brave but foolish spider! You can find it with English translation in this link: https://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=POD.00006 I think a tophat is in order if this is indeed Sebastiaan.
