To go along with my spooky reads I crocheted this spiderweb bookmark. I crocheted a tea bag bookmark a few years ago and since then I’ve been meaning to make another bookmark. I went with a spiderweb design because the spider attached to a web just seemed like the perfect combination! You can use this spiderweb piece as a decoration as well, not just as a bookmark. Get creative!

I recommend using a thin yarn for this pattern if you plan on using this as a bookmark so that it sits comfortably in a book without looking bulky. In the supplies list down below I always write what I used for a project but feel free to switch up the hook size and yarn type for any of my crochet patterns.

Trying to make the web was the most difficult part of this pattern. I went through so many trials and errors, writing crochet patterns is not easy! The yarn I used in the actual pattern (I used. different yarn when I’m testing patterns) kept curling no matter what I tried so eventually I decided to go with the blocking technique. For those who don’t know, blocking is a process where you wet the fibers of the yarn to shape and style your crochet piece, it also helps prevent your piece from curling. All you need, is a towel, sewing pins, and a spray bottle filled with water. I’ll explain the process in more detail down below. If you aren’t having problems with your piece curling then feel free to skip the blocking step.
