Can Beginners Make This Pattern?
The detailed instructions ensure a rewarding and enjoyable project even for beginner crocheters. The lace spider web may look intimidating to those with little experience – however, this pattern is easier than you think. What’s more, you should only know the most basic stitches to be able to make it.
Materials That Give the Best Results
For this crochet spider web necklace, you will need a lace or thread yarn. The sample was made with two strands of Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Crochet Thread. It’s a 100% cotton thread perfect for small lace projects. The designer also used a 1.9 mm crochet hook. You will also need small jump rings and a necklace clasp for the back closure.
Understanding the Spider Web Motif
You crochet a base chain long enough to fit around your neck, then work a row of double crochet to form the foundation. From the center, you attach five hanging chains (“spider web strands”) of equal length. These strands are connected horizontally in three curved rows, each row spaced lower than the last to create the web effect.
After shaping and starching for structure, you attach jump rings and a clasp to finish.
Adding a Spider Charm or Bead
To add a touch of intrigue to your necklace, make sure to attach a tiny crochet spider to it. Too of a hassle? How about adorning it with dark-colored beads or a large gemstone for extra drama?
Accent it in any way you like, so that this necklace becomes a distinctive accessory that reflects your personal style and adds an air of mystery to your wardrobe!
