Instructions for Crocheting the Spider Sample
At first, let's crochet the sample "spider" due to the scheme.
Cast on 43 chain st.
Row Instructions
1st Row: 3 chain st., 3BP 1 dc, 3 times of BP 1 dc in every third stitch of the chain, 13 ps, 3BP 1 dc in the sixth st., 4 times of 3BP 1 dc in every third stitch and repeat the pattern one more time, 2BP 1 dc in the last stitch of the chain in the end of the row. 3ps, turn the work.
2nd Row: 3 times of 3BP 1 dc in between the crochet of the previous row (6ps, 1 sc under the arc of ps, 6ps, 4 times of 3BP 1 dc, repeat the pattern.
3rd Row: if you look at the scheme, you'll see that the quantity of BP dc decreases, and your "spider" grows. 3ps, 1BP 1 dc, 2 times of 3BP 1 dc, 6ps, 3sc, 6ps, groups of crochets etc.
4th Row: 3ps, 2 times of 3BP 1 dc, 6ps, 5sc, 2 times of 3BP 1 dc, repeat the pattern.
5th Row: 3ps, 1BP 1 dc, 3BP 1 dc, 6ps, 7sc, 6ps and continue due to the scheme.
Then the quantity of BP dc increases, and your "spider" is getting smaller.
6th Row: as 4th.
7th Row: as 3rd.
8th Row: as 1st.
Then you can repeat the pattern from the 1st row to the 8th.
Calculating Stitches for Your Throw
Cast on a chain of ps, approximately equal to the width of the future throw.
To knit the first row, we take another skein and start knitting from the beginning of the chain, and not from the end. The thread from the first hank is not cut off yet.
Thus, having knitted the first row, it will be possible to more accurately determine the width and, if necessary, tie the chain or dissolve it.
