A simple sample to practise spider ground. See also pattern 51 and pattern 52.
I suggest that you are confident with working spiders before attempting this.
Pattern:
Bobbins: 16 pairs
Style: Torchon
Stitches:
half stitch
cloth stitch
cloth stitch and twist
Details:
8 legged spider (green)
spider ground (green)
Torchon ground (grey)
twisted footside (grey)
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
This looks weird! The effect is caused by the fast that there is nothing to keep the legs of the spiders separate. Two legs go from one pin to another. See pattern 51 and pattern 52 for ways to keep the legs apart.
