This Spider Web Cardigan Crochet Pattern is just what you need for October! And what I love about it is that you can wear it year round. It’s Halloween-ish, but not so obvious that you can’t pull it off anytime. For the cardigan I used the Spider Web Stitch. It looks complicated, but once you get the repeat down it’s a quick and pretty easy pattern.

SEWING
Lay the two front pieces evenly on top of the back. Use stitch markers to keep the pieces in place. Use the long ends and the yarn needle to whip stitch the shoulders closed.
Try the cardigan on at this point. Mark where you want the sleeves to begin.
I wanted deep sleeves so I marked about the center
Use the long end and the yarn needle to whip stitch the sides closed.
Fasten off, weave in all ends.
Turn right side out.
Wet block the cardigan for best results.
And you’re all done with your Spider Cardigan!!

OMG, so cute! Perfect for Halloween and beyond!
Thank you!!
Help! I’m trying to decide what size to make. According to your size widths the small should fit me but you look tiny and this makes me think I need to go up to a medium.
Hi! I am 5’0″ and have a 34″ bust. So the bust measurement is 6″ larger than my actual bust size. Hope that helps!!
I have another question. I’m on row 6 and when you say to sc in next 5 sc…I don’t have 5 sc to do that in. What am I missing? Thanks!
Yes, thank you! I’m a little bigger than you but think the small will work fine. I’m using Shawl in a Ball in Feng Shui Grey that has been in my stash for a while.
I have probably a really dumb question. The front pieces. Why is the original chain shorter than the back? Wouldn’t it be the same as the 1st row on the back piece? I’m making mine bigger…cause I’m fat. lol
I made the front panels a little shorter than the back to leave space in the center for the neckline 🙂
Thank you!
Thanks Breann! Beautiful fall piece I will enjoy making and wearing.
Were are the instructions for the sleeves?
Hi! There are no sleeves added. It’s just the “overhang” from the front an back panels.
I couldn’t crotchet till l came across your blog I have learnt to make a couple of your beanies and I did the Catalina Cardigan I m going to try yesterday’s jumper and the spiderweb cardigan Thank you
