Just in time for Halloween, I’m going to show you today how to crochet some spooky spider webs!
Materials:
- I-9 (5.5mm) crochet hook
- 1 skein worsted weight cotton yarn
- Scissors
Stitches/Techniques Used:
-
Magic Loop
-
CH – chain
-
SC – single crochet
-
TC – triple crochet
-
SL – slip stitch
SETUP ROW:
Make a magic loop
CH2, SC 4, CH 2, SC 5

CH 4, turn work
* CH 4, skip 1 SC, TC in next SC
Repeat from * once
* CH 4, TC in CH 2 space
CH 4, TC in next SC
* CH 4, skip 1 SC, TC in next SC
Repeat from * once
ROW 2:

REMAINING ROWS:
You can stop here to have a mini spider web for decoration, or use the following instructions to make your web larger.
A larger web can be used as a wall hanging, hung in a doorway, or even as a Halloween shawl!
-
Start each new round with CH 4. This counts as a TC stitch.
-
The chains between the TCs increase by 2 each new round.
-
To add a gap, chain the number of stitches, chain one more, then chain the same number of stitches. Skip on TC and TC in the next one.
FINISHING ROW:
CH 3, turn work
SL ST at the base of the CH 3
SL ST in each CH ST along the cross section
CH 3, SL ST at base at each TC
Tie off and weave in ends. Ta-da!
