I love this yarn. I used it for my Open Wave Block Shirt last year. I bought more yarn from Greenwood Hill Farm at the Maryland Sheep and Wool and was just waiting for the yarn to tell me what it wanted to be. I'm really happy with the results. I used 2 skeins of silver and 3 of slate

I know from the shirt I made that this yarn is exceptionally warm so once again I chose an open pattern so I could wear it indoors without sweating. I picked this stitch from the Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary. This is the spider filet stitch. I don't think it looks like a spider, especially considering spiders have 8 legs not 6.








Stitches:
ch: chain
sk st: skip stitch
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
dc3tog: yarn over twice, insert hook and pull through a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (you should have 2 loops on your hook). Yarn over twice, insert hook and pull through a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (you should have 3 loops on your hook). Yarn over twice, insert hook and pull through a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops (you should have 4 loops on your hook). Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops to complete the stitch. picot: sc, ch 3, sl st in the sc stitch you started with, sc in the next stitch to close
