Follow a spiderweb wreath crochet pattern to make spooky front door Halloween décor! Includes a free spider crochet pattern that you can use for your fall décor crochet pattern ideas.
I designed the spiderweb wreath crochet pattern because my daughter asked me to make spiders to decorate our place for Halloween this year. I thought spiders would go well with fabric pumpkins that I made a couple of years ago. Also, that combination would make a nice fall decoration as well.

Let’s follow the spider crochet pattern first!
First, I will show you how to crochet a spider bigger in size, around 4.5″ in diameter.
1. Using the black yarn make a magic circle, ch 3 (counts as one dc), and work 11 more dc in the circle. Ss to the top of ch 3. (12 s)
2. Ch 3 (first dc), 2dc in each dc around, ss to the top of ch 3. (24 s)
3. Ch3, (first dc), *2dc in next dc, dc in next dc, repeat from * around. Ch 3 works as last dc, ss to ch 3. (36 s)
4. Ch 3, dc in each dc around, ss to ch3 – repeat 3 times (36 s)
5. Ch 3, *dc2tog, dc in next dc, repeat from * around, ss to ch 3 (24 s)
6. Ch 3, dc2tog around, ss to ch 3 (12 s).
7. Cut the yarn leaving a long yarn tail and thread the needle.
8. Fill in the inside of the ball with a fiberfill, and stitch the opening closed.
Now, follow a spider crochet pattern smaller in size, around 3.5″ in diameter.
1. Make a magic circle, ch3 (first dc), and work 11 more dc in the circle. Ss to the top of ch 3 (12 s)
2. Ch 3 (counts as one dc), 2dc in each dc around, ss to the top of ch 3 (24 s)
3. Ch 3, dc in each dc around, ss to ch3 – repeat 2 times
4. Same as 6-8 for bigger spider
LEGS FOR THE SPIDERS
1. Cut the craft wire into 16” and 18” long pieces. Have four wire pieces for each spider.
2. Make a knot with the yarn on one end of a wire and fold ¼” of the wire to stabilize the yarn.
3. Slip stitch over the wire and also the short piece of yarn alternating sides, front, and back.
4. Make a knot with the yarn on the other end of the wire and fold 1/4″ of the wire to stabilize the knot.
5. Twist four of the wires together in the middle and hot glue to the crocheted ball. Also, hot glue two red beads for the eyes.
I really like how the spider’s legs turned out. They are skinny and wobbly because of using the craft wire to make them. Also, using craft wire you can make the legs any length you want.
Next, follow a spiderweb crochet pattern with step by step tutorial.
1. Make a knot with the white yarn anywhere on the embroidery hoop (you are using just one part of the embroidery hoop for this project).
2. With the crochet hook in front of the hoop, yarn over below the hoop and draw the yarn to the front. Now, yarn over the top of the hoop and draw the yarn through both loops.
3. Repeat step 2 until the hoop is covered with yarn. Keep pushing the yarn stitches back in order to cover the hoop nicely.
4. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail, about 2 yards. You can make a ball out of the yarn tail, to easily weave the web.
5. Stretch the yarn to the other side of the hoop and make two wide wraps around the loop to one side.
Repeat stretching and wrapping with the yarn until the loop is filled.
6. Then, stretch the yarn to the middle and make a knot or two around all the yarn. It will secure the middle of the web.
7. Next, stretch the yarn about 2” from the center, along one web string, and make a knot.
8. Then, stretch the yarn to the next web string and make a knot. Repeat this step to make the first row on the web.
9. To make the next row of the web repeat steps 7 and 8. Make as many rows as you like. It also depends on the size of the hoop.
10. When finish making web rows, stretch the yarn to the hoop and make a loop to use to hang the spiderweb.
Finally, hot glue the spider to the web.
Although it’s a spiderweb wreath to hang on the door you can put it on the shelf as I did. I hope you found the spiderweb wreath crochet pattern useful and easy to follow. You can share a photo of your crochet spider decoration on my Facebook page.
Happy crocheting!
