I made this pattern using worsted weight cotton as it was the yarn I had on hand that matched the colors I wanted, you can use cotton, acrylic, or any type of yarn really.
When crocheting the triangle, keep your stitches consistent and tight. This will create a stable base for your crochet spider appliqué and embroidery work
When adding your appliqué, use a yarn needle and the same yarn to sew it on securely. Make sure to stitch around the edges and in the center to prevent it from lifting or shifting.
Instructions
Crochet Triangle Pattern:
For this pattern we will be working in rows. You can use any color as the base of the triangles but I alternated using orange and black. You can find a more detailed tutorial for the triangles with my How to Crochet Triangles Pattern.
Row 1: Ch 2 and turn
Row 2: In the second chain from the hook make an increase. (2) Ch 1 and turn. Do not work in the turning chains. Always skip those.
Row 3: Sc x2 (2). Ch 1 and turn
Row 4: Inc x2 (4). Ch 1 and turn
Row 5: Sc x4 (4). Ch 1 and turn
Row 6: Inc, sc x2, inc (6). Ch 1 and turn
Row 7: Sc x6 (6). Ch 1 and turn
Row 8: Inc, sc x4, inc (8). Ch 1 and turn
Row 9: Sc x8 (8). Ch 1 and turn
Row 10: Inc, sc x6, inc (10). Ch 1 and turn
Row 11: Sc x10 (10). Ch 1 and turn
Row 12: Inc, sc x8, inc (12). Ch 1 and turn

Row 14: Inc, sc x10, inc (14). Ch 1 and turn
Row 15: Sc x14 (14). Ch 1 and turn
Row 16: Inc, sc x12, inc (16). Ch 1 and turn
Row 17: Sc x16 (16). Ch 1 and turn
Row 18: Inc, sc x14, inc (18). Ch 1 and turn
Row 19: Sc x18 (18). Ch 1 and turn
Row 20: Inc, sc x16, inc (20). Ch 1 and turn
Row 21: Sc x20 (20). Ch 1 and turn
Now you can edge the triangle if you would like to create a cleaner finish. To do that make single crochets all around the triangle, for the edges that don’t have single crochet holes already, just make 1 single crochet for each row you made in the triangle.
For the corners do 3 single crochets to help round the corner so you can work the otherside without the edges curling up on you. Once done, fasten off and weave in the ends.
Crochet Spider Applique:
How to crochet a spider:Round 1: Using black yarn, make a mr and then sc x6. Then pull the mr tight to close it. (6)
Round 2: Inc in every sc. (12).
Round 3: Inc, sc, then repeat until end of round. (18)
Round 4: This is where we will be making the spider legs.
First make a sl st then ch x4, in the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Make a sl st for the rest of the ch length. Then sl st to the same stitch you made the sl st and chains from. Repeat the above process 3 more times for the next 3 stitches. You should now have 4 legs.
Sc x5. Then repeat what you did above for the other side's 4 spider legs. Sc x5 and then fasten off the yarn but leave a tail for sewing.
I made a spider for each of my orange triangles.
Embroidery:
Spider:
Sew the spider to the orange triangles near the top (starting the 3rd row down) then after the spider is sewn on, embroider the white eyes at the bottom of the spider, and a little line coming out the spiders butt near the top of the triangle so it looks like it is dangling down. Weave in any ends.
Spider web:
After securing the white yarn on the back of the black triangle, create four 4-inch radiating lines from the top right of the triangle.
To embroider the cross-section lines, split the yarn of the radiating lines as you pull the needle through. Be careful to insert your needle accurately to avoid wobbliness in the previous lines you embroidered. After completing the first row across the three gaps, move down an inch and repeat for two more rows.
I put a spiderweb on all of my black crochet triangles.
Now that the triangles have been made and adorned, string them up alternating the designs to create a pattern and now you have a lovely crochet Halloween garland for the season!I hope you enjoyed my crochet Halloween garland pattern!
If you used cotton yarn when making the crochet spider web garland pattern and still had some orange leftover, you could make some crochet pumpkin coasters!
