Starting Your Spider Stitch Project
To make the spider stitch, start by chaining an even number of chains. You can either start directly with the spider stitch (explained below) or make a row of single crochet into the bottom bumps for more stability.
Instructions for the Spider Stitch
RND 1: Ch 12, sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, sk 1 ch, then work a [sc, ch 1, sc] into the next st.
Continue to sk 1 st, then work a [sc, ch 1, sc] in the next stitch until 2 sts remain, sk 1, and sc in the last st to end the first row.
Ch 1, turn. Sc into the first st, sk 2 sts and work a [sc, ch 1, sc] into the ch-1 sp, *repeat from * across until 2 sts remain, sc in last st.
Finding the ch-1 sp can be a bit tricky, so it can help to look for the four bars of the single crochets. Then insert your hook in between the two sets of bars and work your spider stitch [sc, ch 1, sc].
