Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to add a touch of spooky elegance to your decor than with a crochet Skull and Spider Doily! This hauntingly beautiful piece combines intricate crochet design with a dash of gothic charm, making it a perfect centerpiece for your haunted gatherings.
The Skull and Spider Doily is not your average crochet piece. It blends the traditional crochet method to create the intricate frame of spiders encircling the skull, while using the filet crochet technique to create and position the skull at the centerpiece.
BLOCKING DOILY
The Skull and Spider Doily definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make the piece wet, stretch it out on blocking mats and attach it with pins. I also spray some starch to give it extra firm shape. Let it dry completely before removing the pins.
VIDEO TUTORIAL OF SKULL AND SPIDER DOILY
WRITTEN PATTERN OF SKULL AND SPIDER DOILY
To crochet the Skull and Spider Doily I used Golo crochet thread size 10. One ball has 250 yards in it and I used the whole thing. Crochet hook is size 1.75 mm. The finished doily measures about 11 inches on each side.
Abbreviatons:
ch = chain
sp = space
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
incr = increase
beg = beginning
decr = decrease
tr = triple crochet
Pattern notes:
- The Skull and Spider Doily is worked from bottom to top, starting with the one solid block on the first row and ending with the one solid block on the last row.
- With the first half of the doily, we increase the solid blocks at the beginning and end of each row. With the second half, we decrease the solid blocks on each row.
- To increase one solid block at the beginning of row, ch 5, dc in 4th and 5th ch, dc in next dc.
- To increase one solid block at the end of row, you work tr stitches at the end of row. The first tr will be worked in the same stitch as the last dc, (next tr is worked into the bottom loops of the previous tr) twice. Please see my video tutorial for illustration.
- To decrease one solid block at the beginning of row, sl st in next 3 dc, ch 3.
- To decrease one solid block at the end of row, leave last 3 stitches unworked.
- All the black squares on the chart are solid blocks.
- Spiders are made inside the smaller 16 squares with chains and single crochet stitches.
Here is the pattern of a spider for quick reference (1st spider starts on row 4 and ends on row 11):
- Row 1 = ch 12.
- Row 2 = ch 6, sc in ch12-sp, ch 6.
- Row 3 = ch 6, sc in ch6-sp, sc in sc, sc in ch6-sp, ch 6.
- Row 4 = ch 7, sc in ch6-sp, sc in each next 3 sc, sc in ch6-sp, ch 7.
- Row 5 = ch 9, sc in ch7-sp, sc in each next 5 sc, sc in ch7-sp, ch 9.
- Row 6 = ch 8, skip next sc, sc in each next 5 sc, skip last sc, ch 8.
- Row 7 = ch 7, skip next sc, sc in each next 3 sc, skip last sc, ch 7.
- Row 8 = ch 6, skip next sc, sc in next sc, skip last sc, ch 6.
