About this pattern

A black spider sits in the middle of a white web on a round of dusky purple with a dark rim. The web has eight spokes and three rounds strung between them, and every line of it is joined: the four slanting spokes are small stairs. The spider is seen from above, with a small front part, a larger body behind and eight bent legs, each foot on a thread. The round is stitched solid and the left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 61 stitches and uses three thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 61 high: 2,933 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Violet 553, Winter White 3865, Black 310).
