Lace Spiders Crochet Stitch Pattern and Tutorial

You probably have seen this stitch (or a variation of it) before. I used a very similar one (though not exactly the same) to make my Spider Stitch Shawl.

This open stitch would work great for a light afghan, a lacy baby christening shawl, a table runner, a summer blouse, etc.

I made a detailed, step-by-step photo tutorial. I hope it will be useful.

Multiple of 17, plus 4

I started with ch 55.
