Crochet Spider Web Wind Spinners: A Spooky Halloween Decor

Introduction Crochet Spider Web Wind Spinners are a fun and spooky Halloween decoration that you can make at home. In this article, I'll guide you through the step-by-step process of creating these unique wind spinners. You'll learn about the materials needed, pattern instructions, and finishing touches to make your Spider Web Wind Spinners a creepy centerpiece for your Halloween display.

Materials Needed To crochet the Spider Web Wind Spinners, you'll need the following materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in white
• 4.5mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Pattern Instructions

Row 1 To start, create a slip knot and chain 41. This will be the foundation for your wind spinner. Work a single crochet in the second chain from the hook, followed by one single crochet in each of the remaining 39 chains. This will give you a total of 40 single crochet stitches.

Row 2 For row 2, chain 4 (which counts as a half double crochet and chain 2), and turn your work. Skip the same stitch and work a half double crochet in the next stitch. Follow this with a chain 2. Repeat this pattern of half double crochet followed by chain 2 in each stitch across the row, ending with a half double crochet in the last stitch. Row 2 will have a total of 40 half double crochet stitches.

Row 3 To begin row 3, chain 5 (which counts as a half double crochet and chain 3), and turn your work. Skip the chain 2 space and work a half double crochet in the next half double crochet stitch. Then chain 3. Repeat this pattern of skipping the chain 2 space, working a half double crochet in the next stitch, and chaining 3 for the next 38 stitches. In the last stitch, work a half double crochet in the third chain. Row 3 will have a total of 40 half double crochet stitches.

Row 4 For row 4, chain 7 (which counts as a double crochet and chain 4), and turn your work. Skip the chain 3 and work a double crochet in the next half double crochet stitch. Follow this with a chain 4. Repeat this pattern of skipping the chain 3, working a double crochet in the next half double crochet stitch, and chaining 4 for a total of 9 times. Join in the top of the chain 3 with a slip stitch. Finish off and weave in the ends.

Attaching the Hanger To attach a hanger to your Spider Web Wind Spinner, thread a long tail through a yarn needle. Weave the needle through the stitches at the top of your wind spinner, leaving a loop or a piece of yarn for hanging. Secure with a knot and weave in the ends.

Finishing Touches Once you have completed your Spider Web Wind Spinner, you can add a tarantula element to it. Crochet a tarantula using the pattern provided in the description box below the video. Attach the wind spinner to the bottom of the tarantula to create a centerpiece display for your Halloween decor.

• Stretch out your wind spinner to enhance its appearance and make it stand out.
