What Halloween is complete without a creepy spider? And a Black Widow is a mighty creepy spider. After many failed attempts at a spider web, i decided to go with a spider instead. This is a pretty basic spider design. An optional stitch is a reverse picot which you can see how to make here, though it is pretty easy to do.

Totally cool! I love it even though spiders creep me out!

They creep me out too, and this spider does sometimes too when I just see it laying on the corner of the table.

This is way awesome, and looks like a good starter tatting project. I bet this would look neat on a headband or bracelet.
Penolopy Bulnick (author) in reply to dollarcraftNov 7, 2011. 10:07 AM
I think so too. You could probably creep people out with it on a headband. I'm just a big necklace person, so I tend to default to that.
