A simple sample to practise spider and dot ground. See also pattern 50 and pattern 51. I suggest that you are confident with working spiders before attempting any of these.
Pattern:
Bobbins: 20 pairs
Style: Torchon
Stitches:
half stitch
cloth stitch
cloth stitch and twist
Details:
8 legged spider (green)
spider and dot ground (green and grey)
Torchon ground (grey)
twisted footside (grey)
Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The legs of the spiders are separated in this ground as well, but in a more cunning way. One leg (on one side) goes to a different spider while the other goes to a Torchon ground stitch. There is not a line of Torchon ground stitches like pattern 51, just individual stitches here and there.
