Crochet Spider Stitch

A few years ago, I was browsing pictures of crochet things, and I came across this spider stitch picture. I fell in love with that stitch and wanted to try it. Try as I may, I couldn't find a pattern for it, nor could I figure it out. So, I forgot all about it for a while. 

Last night for whatever reason, I had the sudden urge to figure out how it was accomplished. So, I looked at it again. With a little bit of trial and error, this is what I came up with.  I doubt that it is exactly like the picture I found, but it is close enough for me.

I didn't do it too big because I just needed to figure out how it was done, and I didn't want to be working it, and then have to unravel so much work.

Now I just need to buy lots of yarn and make a blanket with this stitch!
