In this tutorial I show how to make the spider stitch. The spider crochet stitch is beginner friendly and only requires to know how to make a chain and a single crochet. To make this stitch, you just need to repeat one row. This stitch is a reversible crochet stitch and it looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn Diamond mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: 3304 (lilac), and a 2.0 mm hook.
