Spiral Cobweb

September 25, 2023

Spiral Cobweb is easy to crochet using two colors of thread and spiral crochet technique. I love it because I use both colors simultaneously without cutting them off after each round, and that means I don’t have to weave in millions of ends when it’s finished.

In my video tutorial I will also show you how to attach the crochet piece to 16-inch metal hoop for hanging your Spiral Cobweb on the wall.

I use 2 colors of thread to crochet the Spiral Cobweb: my first color is Aunt Lydia’s thread size 10 (color A) and second color is Anchor Artiste Metallic thread (color B). I like to use metallic thread because it’s perfect for adding a touch of shimmer to my cobweb. Anchor Metallic thread has 25g in one ball and it’s enough. The size of this thread is not specified but it used crochet hook 2-3 mm. My crochet hook is size 2.25 mm. You will also need stitch marker, 16-inch hoop, 0.5 mm clear stretchy cord and sewing needle.

  • Round 2 = with B (dc+ch2+dc, ch) in next 3 ch-spaces of color A, take stitch marker out of A loop and insert in B loop.
  • Round 3 = with A ch, (dc, ch2) in each color B ch-space, insert stitch marker in A loop.
  • Round 4 = with B (dc+ch2+dc, ch) in each color A ch-space, insert stitch marker in B loop.
  • Round 5 = with A (dc, ch2) in each color B ch-space, insert stitch marker in A loop.
  • Round 6 = with B ((dc+ch2+dc, ch) in each color A ch-space, insert stitch marker in B loop.
  • Round 7 = with A (dc, ch2) in each color B ch-space, insert stitch marker in A loop.
  • Round 8 = with B (dc in next ch-space, ch, dc+ch2+dc in next ch-space, ch) repeat, insert stitch marker in B loop.
  • Round 9 = with A (tr, ch) in each color B ch-space, insert stitch marker in A loop.
  • Round 10 = with B (dc in next ch-space, ch, dc+ch2+dc in next ch-space, ch) repeat, insert stitch marker in B loop.

  • Round 19 = with A ch, (dtr, ch2) in each color B ch-space until last 11 ch-spaces, (tr in next ch-space, ch2) 3 times, (dc in next ch-space, ch2) 3 times, (hdc in next ch-space, ch2) 3 times, (sc in next ch-space, ch2) twice, sc in color A ch-space, cut off and fasten off color A.
  • Weave in all ends.

ATTACH TO HOOP

My cobweb measured about 14.5 inches in diameter after finishing and it was just the right size to stretch it onto the hoop. I cut the stretchy clear cord about twice the diameter of the hoop (or a little longer even). Using a sewing needle and the cord I first inserted the tail end of cord through one of the ch2-spaces as well as the hoop and secured it with a knot. Then I weaved the cord around the hoop inserting needle through each ch2-space, making sure the cord was tight around the hoop. When finished weaving, I tied a knot with the tail end and weaved in the ends of cord. I used about 7-inch long jute cord to attach the hanging loop. First I tied a knot around the hoop, then another knot with end tails, then trimmed the tails.
