Crochet this fun Spiderweb Dishcloth and make your Halloween party extra spooky!
The idea behind the Spiderweb Dishcloth pattern is very simple. It takes a solid hexagon and transforms it into a spiderweb with the help of surface crochet slip-stitch embroidery.
I already used this simple trick to make my Spiderweb Coasters with the difference that the hexagon of the coasters is the solid hexagon without gaps.
For the dishcloth, I decided to switch to the classic solid hexagon because even with large hexagons with many rounds, it holds a better shape and stays flat.
