Pattern description
This striking counted cross-stitch pattern features a plump spider rendered in deep purples and magentas, suspended within an intricate blue web that radiates outward in a geometric star formation. The 138x138 stitch count creates a perfectly square, symmetrical composition ideal for framing, with the cool blue web providing sophisticated contrast against the warmer jewel tones of the arachnid's body. At intermediate skill level with 18 DMC thread colors, this needlework project offers engaging complexity without overwhelming beginners, making it perfect for stitchers seeking to expand their color-blending techniques and geometric precision.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
