There are a couple different spider stitch patterns I’ve seen over the past few years. This post includes a traditional vintage spider stitch tutorial which I have broken down into a single square. This spider stitch pattern can be crocheted with any yarn or hook combination.

To edge the finished square, simply single crochet in the row ends down the side edges, top and bottom edges and work 3 sc in each corner. You can increase the number of spiders in the square by using the stitch multiple I have provided below too so you could technically make this into any size project, even a spider stitch shawl or spider stitch afghan!

If you would like to try another type of spider stitch, I have prepared the following stitch tutorial for All Free Crochet. Have fun making your spider stitches! Rhondda
