Happy October, friends! This month’s Crochet Stitch of the Month is the Spider Stitch—a stitch that feels perfectly at home in spooky season. With its name alone, it’s ready for Halloween, but beyond that, it’s a beautiful, textured, and relaxing stitch that pairs well with fall projects.
The Spider Stitch is a one-row repeat, which means it’s easy to pick up, soothing to work on, and great for crocheters who enjoy meditative projects. Plus, it’s beginner-friendly—no complicated maneuvers, just simple stitches worked in a way that creates a gorgeous woven look.
Whether you’re making blankets, scarves, or cozy fall accessories, the Spider Stitch gives your crochet work a timeless texture that’s both simple and eye-catching.
