24 - The Torchon Heart.
This Torchon Heart is a blank canvas to use your own choice of stitches or spiders. I chose the ‘Heart’ spider of course!

Choose your own edge techniques. The Torchon grid is increased in the two larger hearts and these can fit spiders with more legs.
The edge is worked in both directions. The ground can be used for any stitch you fancy.
Seed beads were added on the inward worker, with two twists added to the outward worker without a bead. I used one thick, red sparkly crochet thread and 3 white standard thread pairs (making two pairs when worked in both directions) to make the two outer passives, and four pairs white standard thread pairs after the beads or twists. This gave me white cloth stitch to take in the white pairs from the ground and throw out evenly without disturbing the pairs above the beads.
The boxes to fit spiders can be any size you like, I chose to make mine as large as possible. Use the bottom pin of the valley as a top pin for a spider to make the largest possible box.
