Chain Spiderweb
Whether it’s for spooky-season, or to add a little something extra to your project or personal style, making these chained-spiderwebs is one of the easiest and versatile patterns you will ever learn.
Made only from a handful of stitches, you can expand the web indefinitely or put your own special twist onto it - once you learn these basic steps, the sky’s the limit!
Tips:
Ideal yarn weight = medium for beginners;
However, the pattern can be adapted to yarn lace or thread if you’re feeling ambitious!Stitch counters are highly recommended for first-timers to this pattern; there will be a lot of counting, so these will help to keep track of your work.
Black yarn is NOT recommended for beginners with this pattern; while that is the more traditional look (especially during Halloween), it can be harder to see.
Materials:
Spare skeins or rolls of yarn remnants (color of your choice);
Size J/10 crochet hook
Snips
Stitch counters (opt.)
