A third and more elaborate spider is one made with the foundation thread as described for the first spider and then instead of weaving straight around make a stitch back over one leg and forward under two until the body is the desired size. This is called the spider in its web ([Figure 193]).
Fig. 192. The simple spider
It is easier to weave on an uneven number of threads, and the number of these should depend on the space. A large space requires a large spider with lots of legs.
Fig. 193. The woven spider
A fan ([Figure 194]) is made by spanning three or five threads so that they come to a common centre on one side and on the other they are arranged in ray effect. The weaving is started from the base under one thread and over the other on the first row if there are only three. The second row is like the first, only the threads skipped in the first row are taken up. Alternate rows agree.
