Loosen the embroidery hoop by twisting the screw and remove the inner part of the embroidery hoop. You'll be working on the inner hoop.
Keep your yarn connected to the ball and place the hoop over a single layer of yarn so it goes straight up and down under the hoop.
Wrap the yarn down over the hoop so it makes a loop around the center. Tie a knot at the bottom to keep it in place.
Cut off the yarn from the ball.
Turn the hoop so that the previous line of yarn is horizontal. Tie another loop of yarn around the hoop, creating a + sign.Cut off this yarn close to the knot as well.
Turn the hoop so that your yarn makes an "X" shape. Add another piece of yarn going straight up and down. Cut off the yarn.
Turn the hoop one last time and add one last piece of yarn. Your web base should look like 8 equal slices of pie.
Step 3: Prepare to tie the spider web
Re-attach the inner embroidery hoop to the outer hoop. Tighten the screw to make it secure.
Cut off the extra yarn at the knots. Flip the hoop over so that you're working on the back.
Roll a small ball of yarn until it's about 1.5 inches wide and then cut it off from the main ball of yarn. This small ball makes it easier to weave the yarn in and out of the web.
Step 4: Weave the yarn around the web
Tie the end of the yarn ball around one of the strands on the embroidery hoop about 1/2 inch away from the center of the web. Pull it tight in a double knot.
Wrap the yarn around the strands to the left and make a single knot by pulling the yarn ball through the loop created.
Pull to tighten the knot so that the yarn going from one strand to the next is taut.
Tie a single knot around the next set of strands, working counterclockwise. Again, make sure the thread is taut between the webs.
Continuing tying knots around each next strand. When you get back to where you tied the first knot, move the next knot about 1/2 inch away from the last row.
Continue working your way around the web, spacing out each row and adjusting the knots when necessary.
Keep working counterclockwise until you're near the outside of the hoop. When you reach the edge, tie a double knot for the last knot. Then cut off the extra yarn, both at the center of the web and at the outside, close to the knots.
