Free Spiderweb Crochet Pattern 🕸️ Easy Halloween Earrings, Pendant or Brooch

Looking for a quick and spooky project? 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️ This free spiderweb crochet pattern is perfect for creating Halloween earrings, pendants, or brooches or tiny decoration for your home. It’s beginner-friendly, works up fast, and is a fun way to make your own handmade accessories for the spooky season.

This pattern is part of my mini halloween collection. It pairs well with the HEDWIG halloween choker.


The spiderweb is available in two sizes, depending on your skill level choose your option. The lace weight version looks more like delicate jewelry. 
Since this is a quick project you can start with the bigger version to practice, and after finishing one spiderweb, make more with the thin yarn.
You can find the detailed instructions below or the pattern as shorthand.

Yarn & Materials

  • Yarn options:

    • Fingering weight cotton yarn (recommended for beginners)

    • Lace weight cotton (for more advanced crocheters, this is very thin)

  • Finished sizes:

    • Fingering weight: 6 x 6 cm

    • Lace weight: 4 x 4 cm

  • Hook sizes:

    • 2 mm (fingering weight)

    • 1.25 mm (lace weight)

Suggested yarns

Summary of construction:

  • Row 1: create the little tabs
  • Row 2-5: double crochets worked into the tabs, always stacking on top of the previous row

In the first row we create little tabs. In the next row you work your double crochets into the little tabs. In this pattern the double crochets are always on top of each other. This creates the vertical bars of the spiderweb. The last double crochet goes around the chains of the previous row.

Blocking & Starching Your Crochet Spiderweb

To make your spiderwebs to hold their shape, you’ll need to starch them. You can do this using starch here is how:

blocking spiderweb crochet

  1. Mix 1 tsp starch (corn, potato or wheat) with 2 tsp cold water.

  2. Boil 1 cup of water, then pour into your starch mixture and stir until it looks gooey and transparent.

  3. Soak your crochet spiderweb in the mixture.

  4. Squeeze out excess starch, pin your spiderweb into shape (pull on tabs to open up the holes).

  5. Let it dry completely.

  6. If it's not stiff enough, repeat the starching process. 2-3 coats should be enough.

Alternatively you can stiffen your project using transparent nail polish or glue.
