Crochet Basics: Spider Lace Stitch

The Spider Lace Crochet Pattern showcase a beautiful stitch pattern, with lacy spider patterning. This crochet stitch looks just as beautiful from both sides, making it great for all sorts of crochet projects. What’s so great about this crochet stitch is the fact that it features only basic crochet stitches. However it might be a bit difficult to memorize, since one repeat is 14 stitches wide and 8 rows tall. But don’t worry, this very detailed step by step photo tutorial is very helpful.
