This is one of the few hexagon-blocks that is easy to machine-piece, so hand- or machine is the same. Whatever feels the more comfortable to you.

Print and cut apart shapes.

Start by making 3 triangle-units in each of the two colourways, as shown on picture to the left, making each triangle striped.
Press to the dark

Join the triangles, alternating light and dark, into two half-hexagons, each with 3 triangles, like the picture on the right.
Press, so the seams all lie open.

Join the two half-hexagons to finish the spider-web.
Now, this final pressing involves you having to turn some of the seams on the centre triangles. There is no way one can make triangles press beautifully and perfectly, so there will have to be some turned seams in there.
