Crochet Spider Web Lace Pattern – Halloween Edition

Materials: Cotton yarn in white, cream, or black; a crochet hook appropriate for your yarn (around 3.5–4.5 mm works well); scissors; yarn needle.

Abbreviations: ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, sp = space.

Foundation: Ch 31.

Row 1: Dc in 5th ch from hook. Ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc in next ch. Repeat across. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3. Dc in first dc. Ch 3, sc into next ch-2 sp, ch 3, dc into next dc. Repeat across. Turn.

Row 3: Ch 3. Ch 4, sc into center of next ch-3 sp, ch 4, dc into next dc. Repeat across. Turn.

Continue increasing the chain spaces gradually—ch 5, then ch 6—to create the open, expanding spider-web effect. To create the pointed half-web shape, decrease the number of sections toward the final rows. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Make several half-web motifs and connect them along a long foundation chain with slip stitches or single crochet. Leave a little space between each motif so the lace hangs naturally. You can also add small crocheted spiders or tassels.

One of the best things about this crochet Halloween decoration is that it can be reused year after year. Fold it away with your seasonal decorations and bring it back every October.

Follow the written pattern above to create your own spider web lace garland and experiment with the size and spacing until you get the look you love.
