Jun 12 Simple Spider Stitch Blanket, Free Crochet Pattern

Spider stitch is one of my favorite crochet stitches! There are so many variations and so many ways to use it. Here I used basic spider stitch for a blanket pattern. I made a baby size blanket, but the pattern can be easily adjusted to any other size.
