Knitted Spider Towel

It’s time for my third knitted towel in my Halloween series. So far, I’ve knitted a bat and a skull & crossbones towel square in what I hope will be a festive and spooky Halloween table runner.

For this towel square, I used Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn in hot purple.

US size 7 knitting needles

1 skein of Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn in hot purple

Cast on 40 stitches.

Rows 1-6: knit across row

Row 7: k7, p6, k14, p6, k7

Row 8 and all even stitches: knit across row.

Row 9: k5, p2, k6, p2, k10, p2, k6, p2, k5

Row 11: k15, p2, k6, p2, k15

Row 13: k9, p4, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, p4, k9

Row 17: k5, p2, k7, p5, k2, p1, k2, p1, k15

Row 19: k13, p7, k1, p4, k15

Row 21: k12, p14, k14

Row 29: k5, p2, k7, p5, k2, p1, k2, p1, k15

Row 31: k7, p2, k4, p2, k2, p1, k3, p1, k3, p2, k4, p2, k7

Row 33: k9, p4, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, p4, k9

Row 35: k15, p2, k6, p2, k15

Row 37: k5, p2, k6, p2, k10, p2, k6, p2, k5

Row 39: k7, p6, k14, p6, k7

Rows 41-48: k across row.

Bind off and weave in ends.

Like the other squares, I sprayed this one down with water and pinned it to a blocking board until it dried so that it was the same size and shape as the other pieces. So far, the colors are really working to create an interesting Halloween centerpiece. I’m hoping to make two more squares to complete the table runner.
