Spider Web Crochet Pattern – Easy & Free for Halloween

This free crochet spider web pattern is a quick and easy way to make a spooky Halloween decoration! Made with mostly chain and double crochet stitches, this spider web is worked in the round from the center outward, with simple picot stitches creating the pointed edges.

Hang your finished crochet spider web in a window or doorway, add it to your Halloween decorations, or pair it with my Crochet Spider Pattern for an extra spooky touch.

I originally made this web after crocheting a little spider for our Halloween decor. My son really took a liking to his new spider friend and requested that I make him a home … a web. So, of course, I did! 🙂

How to Crochet a Spider Web

This beginner-friendly spider web crochet pattern uses basic stitches to create an open, lacy design. Each round increases the length of the chain spaces, gradually expanding the web. The final round adds small picot points along the outer edge.

If you’re new to picot stitches, don’t worry! I’ve included the instructions below.

Pattern Details

• Skill level: Beginner
• Yarn: Worsted-weight yarn; cotton works especially well for holding the web’s shape
• Hook: 5 mm (US H-8)
• Construction: Worked in the round from the center outward
• Stitches used: Chain, slip stitch, double crochet, and picot

Materials

• White worsted-weight yarn (I find cotton yarn keeps the best shape)*
• 5 mm (US H-8) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

*If you use a different yarn weight, make sure to adjust your hook size accordingly.

Pattern Notes

• This spider web is worked in joined rounds, beginning with a magic ring.
• The beginning chain of Rounds 1–5 counts as the first double crochet and the first chain space.
• Each round contains eight double crochet stitches and eight chain spaces through Round 5.
• Round 6 creates the decorative pointed edging.
