Minimal Spider Web Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cooked up this version as the stripped-back web in the set. Its just 4 radial threads and 3 ring connections, very open, lots of negative space. Looks more architectural than spooky, which is why ya see it used on non-halloween projects too, things like botanical totes and nature prints where people want a web shape but dont want the full halloween vibe.

4 sizes only, 3.5 to 6.5 inches, and stitch counts are the lowest in this collection, 1,583 to 2,731. Density at 65 stitches per square inch, its a real lil stitch-out. Even the biggest version runs fast. A lightweight tearaway stabiliser works fine on most wovens. Use a mesh wash stabiliser on anything you want to sit on top of, like canvas shoes or thick denim, where a sew-through stabiliser would be awkward.

I had a customer this past october who ordered a bunch of these in 3 different thread colours to layer on a wall hanging, white on cream linen with a darker outline web behind. She handled the colour choices herself from the single-colour file I sent. Works in monochrome really well because the open structure gives it a graphic quality, theres a lot of breathing room between the threads.

Avoid fabrics with pile or fuzz for the smaller sizes, the open gaps fill in and the lines disappear. Stick to smooth cotton, denim, canvas or stable jersey. Pop it anywhere you want a quiet spooky accent without going full halloween.
