Crochet Spider Stitch Pattern

As promised, here is the spider stitch pattern I promised.

---

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
f/o: fasten off
sc: single crochet
st: stitch

Notes:

With a 2.1mm hook and crochet cotton, each spider section is about 3" squared.

This would be great for a blanket or throw.
