When you are tired or paying attention to something else…. out of the corner of your eye you see something move towards you. Slowly, slowly, down it goes. Creeping closer and closer, till……. EEEEKKKKKK !! Along comes a spider !!!

This little gem of a pattern can be created on any size hoop(s), yarn or thread with any hook that works for that material. You can create a little ball of colored cotton or fabric to stuff behind the skull part of the belly or crochet a ball and put that behind it as well. Otherwise some good starch and pins can help you create a creepy 3D spider on its own web.

This pattern is pretty easy but nimble fingers will make light work of it.

Add your own creepy or pretty decor around and you have for a wonderful everyday or Halloween piece.
