Introducing the Spooky Spiders Mosaic Crochet Pattern

When working on my design for this blanket, I was daydreaming designs last Halloween and came across one of my favorite Halloween decorations. As one of the first Halloween decorations my husband and I bought as newlyweds many years ago, we purchased some black metal spiders that hold tealights.

I love how we can place them around the house in different spots. Just like real-life spiders, they appear in corners, on shelves, and in multiple rooms, often different from year to year because I forget exactly where they were the year before! My kids also enjoy it when we light them during dinner, adding an extra spooky glow in the darker evenings.

It was a lot of fun to use those fake spiders to create a cozy crochet version! Before you get started on the chart, be sure to make your foundation row (directions below) and then you’re on your way.

  • Watch the right-handed video tutorial
  • Watch the left-handed video tutorial
• BLO – back loop only
• FLO – front loop only

Special Stitches

• bs – single crochet border stitch – work a regular single crochet stitch as the first and last stitch of each row (designated on the pattern chart). When inserting your hook to make this stitch, I recommend inserting it between the two vertical bars of the stitch below rather than under the top loops. This can help make it easier to crochet into these stitches when you’re working the envelope border
• FLO dc – worked into the front loop of the stitch that is two rows below. For example, a FLO dc in row 3 will be worked into the front loop of the designated stitch in row 1.

Pattern Notes:

• US Terms (US to UK terminology conversion)
• Multiples of 48 + 3
  • You may choose to repeat the pattern as many times as you wish. Make sure your Foundation Row is made up of any multiple of 48 plus 3 extra stitches.
  • If you are following along with the Halloween Mosaic Blanket CAL, the blanket uses 4 repeats, so your foundation row is (4×48) + 3 = 195 stitches.
• The foundation row for the blanket size uses FSC stitches. As an alternate option, ch 196, sc in second ch from hook, sc to end of the chain.
• Each row is worked in a different color.
• Fasten off at the end of each row.
• Single crochet stitches are worked in the Back Loop Only of the previous row unless otherwise noted
• Double crochet stitches are worked in the Front Loop Only of the stitch 2 rows below, skipping the stitch behind unless otherwise noted
  • Example: a dc stitch in row 3 is made in the front loop of row 1, and the stitch in row 2 is skipped
• There is a chart and written instructions for right-handed and left-handed crocheters.
• All FLO dc stitches are made in the front loop of the stitch two rows below.
• Recommend using the negative stitch to eliminate gaps on the wrong side of the blanket.
• Do not weave in your ends at the end of each row. The envelope border will hide them.
