The Spider Lace Crochet Pattern showcase a beautiful stitch pattern, with lacy spider patterning.

This crochet lace 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.

I’ve also included a way for you to grab the printable version in a bundle, more details about that further down.
