Looking for a Halloween project? Okay, so maybe not so hot in the featured colors for that but the right colors would really make it. And it looks a lot more like a web when finished in one solid color. However that particular square went into a blanket before I got a camera picture, but I had scanned it for reference for my pattern so its image is below the instructions.
