The weather is changing, less sunshine and cooler breezes are rolling in. I’ve started wearing more wintery pyjamas already and looking over at the log burner thinking of the cosy nights of crocheting ahead!
With the kids back at school soon, our thoughts wander over to the dark side – I won’t mention the ‘C’ word just yet, as that may spark outrage amongst some! But surely it’s not too early to mention Halloween? Because when it comes to us crafty folk – we need that bit of extra time to fulfil our compulsion to hand make things! Team Woolly have been developing some free patterns for you to try out at home this Autumn. Whether you are having a creepy Halloween get together, children’s Halloween party or simply want to decorate your front door or window to welcome the arrival all of little monsters and ghoulies from your neighbourhood, we have some creative craft projects for you. Read below to learn how to make your own crochet spider web as a Halloween decoration for a door or window. Crochet Spider Web – FREE PATTERNFor this we have used our Recycled Cotton Macramé & Crochet Cord in White and a 12mm Wooden Crochet Hook.
Spider web measures: 45cm in diameter. One roll should make 3 of these webs plus spare cord for other projects.

Basically, you can create these cute macramé spiders by making 2 Chinese crown knots as pictured.
We used 4 x approx. 35cm lengths of our 5mm Macramé & Crochet Cord in School Grey.
