Halloween special – Crochet Spider Web

Creating a spider web using crochet is really a quick and fun way to decorate your home for the Halloween. This pattern is very beginner friendly and once you understand the pattern, you can make spider web as big as or as small as you want.

For this web, I decided to use blue yarn. It was closest to black and with much better visibility. But feel free to use any color that you like. A sparkly yarn or glow in the dark yarn would look fabulous!

I’ve also added video along with the pattern for step by step instructions. And don’t forget to share with me on Instagram or Pintrest!
