It isn't easy to tell, is it? From the instructions for starting the
spider, where he says WS, on enlarging the photo, these are worked in
cloth stitch (CTC) , not cloth & twist (CTCT). The footside
instructions, however, refer to adding an "additional" twist - inferring
that there is already one there, as it would be with a cloth & twist
through the footside passive and exchange workers.
I think possibly Ken uses whole stitch in the English way, ie CTC,
rather than the Continental way (CTCT). However, why not do a few
samples varying the stitches and interpret the pattern to your liking?
Sometimes this can lead to brilliant results - and I'm sure Ken would
like the feedback of what it looks like with the pricking used in other
ways - I know I did when I asked the CLG team to play with my Asymmetric
Square Mat - which even ended up with a stunning rectangular version
(two of which are now in glass topped tables in Sault Ste Marie
cathedral, the original square pattern being adapted and worked by Jane
Dobinson). Bev's version of the square, when emailed to me, got a
"Wow!!!" out of me, her use of colour was stunning. It is encouraging
when something you design takes its wings and learns to fly!

I know there are variations in stitch naming. In the following pattern:

can someone tell me what the author means by whole stitch?
(I know, I could ask the author, but it's so much more fun to ask you <G>)
Thanks,
Beth
