While cobwebs are not a welcome addition to most homes, spiders are some of the most helpful creatures on earth and this afghan celebrates them.

Instead of placing the spider stitches in straight rows, this pattern alternates the stitches, snuggling each stitch halfway into the previous one. The result is a lacy cobweb that celebrates our spidery companions.

Instructions are included for making an afghan, wrap, or scarf. Change the yarn to a lace and you’ll be surrounded by soft cobwebs that float behind you while providing the warmth you need in late spring or early fall.
