Please excuse the poor quality photo, I finished weaving in the ends JUST as our annual Spooktacular movie marathon was kicking off so it was heckin’ dark and spooky in our living room 😂

Spiderweb top as per the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/VtQjWlf8NKA

Random black fingering weight yarn I had lying around 🤷‍♀️

Tbh the pattern is not amazingly well-designed, there are weird gaps under the arms and it assumes your body has certain proportions that mine does not (it’s very tight around my hips, and fixing that the way the video suggests would result in the neck being way too big).

But it’s also a very quick, very simple bit of fun, and I’ll probably spruce it up a bit with some fixes for next year so I can wear it outside the house!

    Yeah, definitely a tension thing. My previous attempt was tight and small and starting to curl in on itself by the time I got out to the 6th or 7th ring. This one was much better shape wise and I learned to enjoy the feel of working with the looser yarn.

    I had to build all the way out to a chain 41 row for this to fit my shoulders and hips properly. I also tried blocking a project for the first time. That really helped the chains relax into the right shape and it gave me a chance to shape the whole thing to fit better as a top. Because really, it wants to be a big lace doily :)
