This odd count peyote stitch pattern creates a band of black widow spiders carefully guarding their Halloween pumpkins. Begin reading the pattern at the top, and work your way down.
To make a bracelet, repeat the pattern to your desired length, or center it on your band. Then, attach a pre-made clasp using beaded loops, or stitch yourself up a peyote toggle clasp.
