The Lapping Waves Shawl Crochet Tutorial!

[@darlenelamonica6651]

Homerun again!..Because of your teachings I feel like a pro now....if it wasn't for you I would never had gotten this far with my crocheting...bless you❤❤

[@janetdmclaughlin6744]

I am 72hundred years old. I "discovered" your tutorials with Kaleidoscope Granny. I made it so hard because of my hundreds of years of crochet experience. My granny squares were made different than yours. (no stitch between clusters, only ch 2 between corner clusters) Once I stopped, had a few words with "self", I started from scratch and followed your directions, Amazing! This old dog can learn a few new tricks! Your "chatter" is very soothing; your directions are "simply" divine. THANK YOU!

[@b.c.2313]

Best crochet teacher and attitude always feel like crocheting with a friend thank you!💛

[@thesnuggler9606]

I'm a beginner at crochet, but watching your channel has made learning so easy for me. You are so patient and your voice is very soothing. I appreciate how you explain everything to us and how you go over every step. I've done your narrow crochet skull scarf, the Lost Souls shawl, and now I'm trying this one. My next will be the dragon scales and I'm so excited! Thank you for being such a great teacher!

[@CherryWanders]

I am super new to crochet and yours are my favorite tutorials so far (I've watched A LOT). Thank you for working real time without fast forwarding. I picked up a skein of red heart Liquid Teal yesterday and I think this will be the PERFECT pattern for it. As soon as I finish my first all double crochet shawl project I'll be ready to move on to something a bit more complicated like this! Thanks for your work!

[@elizabethbranthwaite7067]

I think this is by far the prettiest pattern I have tried to date… I have only been crocheting a year and I find you so fun and love love love your happy voice. It makes my heart smile. I have finished one shawl and am now on my second one using Red Heart It’s a wrap Sprinkles which is a #2 with a #5 hook and it is so silky and very pretty. Thank you so much ❤ I know I will make many more of these for gifts

[@dancingwingedangel]

I just need to say how much I love crocheting with you ❤️

[@SherryMitchell1825]

Holy mackerel Mine looks just like yours! You Sir are an excellent tutorial instructor...Thank you for taking the time and making the effort...Prettiest thing Ive ever made!!!

[@Axeo19]

I just want you to know that your tutorials are amazing! You go slow enough and clearly show the steps. So easy to follow 💞

[@susanduncan7875]

Thanks for your patterns and videos. I have them on a playlist so that I can refer back to them. I am a long time crocheter as was my mom, aunts and grandma. You learn from the best in my book. They would have loved that you share your talent and love of the craft. I am starting to crochet shawls fore patients going through chemo or their care givers. My husband was going through that last year and while he did so well ( and still is) so many were not. he was given a neck rest and a small blanket made and donated by a local church. We appreciated both, so it got me to thinking that I can do something too. A small note will go with each one. I hope that they bring a spot of color and comfort into an otherwise dark time. Keep creating and sharing!

[@TCmetalMom]

Hands down one of the most gorgeous shawls I’ve ever done. And it’s straight across the top!!! Love your tutorials!

[@RishaMoon]

I just finished my shawl. It wasn’t perfect but it is my first crochet project I’ve completed! Thank you!!!

[@Renee_Crochet]

a completed project is a perfect project. 🎉 ❤

[@arminehshahnazarian8550]

Thank you very much. You are the best teacher. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

[@cnoodienoodie918]

U teach well'u take your time talking and crocheting. I will take a chance and make this shawl. Thank u for this vedio. I will look at start looking at your vedios👍👍

[@patriciaburke6788]

First time I have seen you teach. As a veteran secondary teacher I can give you an A+! Who would have thought you were so multidementional! I mean you can be so "Out of this World!

[@lindaricketts480]

Love all your videos! Made this shawl with 3 skeins of Caron cakes blueberry shortcake, it is beautiful. I was curious about the front post option so I made one with a 3 weight yarn using front post……it is a completely different look, not so much lapping waves, more like ridges. I much prefer the back post, and for me it’s not really any more difficult than the front post. ❤ Thank you for all of your wonderful videos! 🥰

[@patpowell6684]

I was wondering about doing front posts instead as I personally find them easier…..so you have saved me from having a go😅thank you.

[@janake7]

Your tutorials are so concise. Beautiful patterns. I am a leftie and can still follow your instructions. You are the bomb!!!!

[@carolinebury5927]

Thank you so much....the time you spend in ensuring who is following really gets it. Its a joy learning from you. Keep up the great work and sharing.

[@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535]

I love this pattern! I made one with fingering weight cotton/acrylic that went from yellow-green to green to blue to navy, and it's gorgeous! Thank you for the fabulous pattern and tutorial!

[@FiberSpider]

I hope you had enough, the pattern is such a yarn eater, don't you think?

[@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535]

@@FiberSpider It was 1093 yards of Cotton Kings Twirls Deluxe in Mojave Azurite. I think the one I send you was called Baltic Amber. ^_^

[@annrunacres3982]

Another great pattern, thanks spider. Gave my last shawl.....the virus meets granny....to a friend for her birthday, and she was delighted with it. The virus meets granny blanket in white has gone to my new great grandson. Now this one is just for me. Stay stitching!

[@sandiecreech3995]

After watching this video and falling in love with this pattern, I now realize I am working to pay bills and buy yarn! LOL! Thank you again for posting such educational and fun videos.

[@Rolly16121958]

hello there mr fibre spider i just love watching your videos you have the patience of a saint to teach us how to make something beautiful thank you from the bottom of my heart xx

[@kathylovely1035]

I love this! I have a shawl I’m finishing up then going to start this. Thank you Fiber Spider❤

[@cathycollazo9322]

Thank you for all that you do. I made it in hot pink. It came out beautiful! You are a magnificent crochet educator.💖🥰😍🤣👍🏼🌹🌺💐🧸🎄HAPPY HOILDAYS.

[@llathem2212]

Dude… You have completely out spidered yourself! It’s so beautiful and lovely I don’t even have the words. Just fabulous. I’m finishing up your version of the virus blanket, which BTW you explained so well. Big hugs to you!

[@kathieemerick2523]

I love your tutorials I am a die hard spiderette. You are going to get me into trouble. Every time you put something new on I want to start it. And of course have to buy more yarn to make it. Lol we do love you fiber spider

[@GreenTaraism]

Ditto!!! My daughter was lecturing me about starting too many new projects lol

[@cynthiaventura360]

😂 I totally agree with you Kathy! I am a new spiderette and I just love me some fiber spider! I too get in trouble for getting too much yarn 🧶 to start all these wonderful patterns in these amazing through tutorials! 💗💗💗💗💗

[@joanns4101]

My first crochet project. I crossed over from knitting to crochet. I figured cross country flight 6 hours. TSA no problem with crochet hook and yarn. Loved it!! Made a small version per my daughter for her pooch. Will start larger version on flight back to NY. Very relaxing pattern on a plane. Thank you for your excellent teaching tutorial.

[@violamckar8585]

I'm so glad your video was recommended to me, you actually take your time with us beginner's.. Keep up the good work. ❤️🙏

[@patpowell6684]

At first glance I thought this was the crocodile stitch, which I have done…but I put this on to just listen to you which I’m doing you virus v granny stitch shawl, in case you had any hints and tips! I put the shawl I’m doing down and with some scrap yarn did a sample of this with using the front post and I’m loving it (I find the front post easier) I do have a number of your shawls saved in a separate list…so I don’t loss them…and will definitely be doing it next. Thank you for all your help and for your companionship whilst I am crocheting 🧶 😊

[@faziasingh9675]

This is one of the most beautiful crochet patterns I have ever seen. You explain so well that I am able to follow. Thank you

[@Tigermom2262]

Hello there, I wanted to drop by to say thank you for this tutorial.
I actually had the very same yarn on hand so I thought let's give this lapping waves shawl ago, I am so happy I did too.
It's gorgeous, I still have quite a bit to do yet before this is finished, I just wanted to thank you for sharing such a beautiful pattern, and for being so gracious with your time in tutoring us Crocheters how to Crochet this beautiful pattern.

[@user-ey3xk5rf2m]

There is no doubt. You're the best teacher I've ever watched. Thanks. Waiting for more examples. I would be happy to teach Puncho. Thanks. Mali from Israel

[@georginapantoja7962]

Hello Fiber Spider! Now I am working in the shawl but I am used super saver ombre in the color fresh mint ( light green with light grey ). Yes it is super easy and fast doing thank you for your tutorial. 👍👌😘😉

[@seaside2001]

This is another beauty! Love it. Going to make it in Mary Maxim Prism yarn in variegated blues for a light weight summer shawl. I can already see it in my minds eye with the undulating blues in the lovely waves. I enjoyed the virus shawl so much I have made 4 and gave them as Xmas gifts. Also made with self striping yarns in 2 cakes of Mandela Baby in the darker shades. They turned out spectacularly. Thank you for both tutorials Mr. Spider.

[@llathem2212]

Seaside Mom good idea. I have some blue slowly graduating Red Heart yarn that I’ve use for a shawl in the recent past. I find that it feels more like a 3 than a 4, but it’s thinner for sure. I’ve gotten yard for Mary Maxim and have been happy with it that was via Walmart.com. I always learn stuff from other people‘s comments. Thanks and best wishes to you. 💙

[@patriciaallmann8123]

Your tutorials are fabulous! You are a wonderful instructor! I’m a beginner and I’ve learned so much! I’ve made several hats, each one turning out better than the last! Now I’m going to make a couple of shawls and a purse! I’m a believer…you are the best!

[@evelynrodriguez1188]

Thank you much! I truly enjoy your videos♥️🙏

[@merlyndamirasoldayto3180]

It’s a mermaid shawl. How lovely! Thanks for the pattern.

[@cindyshanks7141]

Excellect tutorial! You vid is well focued and centered. Your voice is so pleasant and your instructions are perfect. Cant wait to do this. THANK YOU!

[@cebridges]

Thank you so much for your channel and this shawl. After years of trying to crochet and getting nowhere, I watched this video and suddenly it all just clicked. This was my first-ever finished project. You can find pictures of it on Ravelry. I named it the Mome Rath Shawl, after the colorway of the yarn.

[@marglewis4440]

Looks lovely, well done

[@jessicaginsburg3842]

Anothe gorgeous shawl from our beloved Fiber Spider! His are the only tutorials I watch, he is a phenomenal teacher. I’m working this one up in Caron Cakes “Faerie Cake” and it’s already gorgeous

[@cariwaldick4898]

I'm crocheting along with this tutorial, (and ready to rewind for a recap.) I'm doing mine in Lionbrand cupcake, for the color change--should be amazing. I'm not doing it as a shawl, but to hang as a valance over my bathroom window. A narrow rod should slip through the loops on the wide end. I already did a valance using your virus instructions. I did three and joined them for three Vs. Thank you for this great video and the clear instructions.

[@levernelogan4914]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEED NEW PATTERNS FOR MY PRAYER SHAWS ❤

[@cathyrandolph7135]

I’ve been looking for something to make with the yarn my little granddaughter got me for Christmas. This is it!

[@karenlevitt7430]

This is another go-to pattern for me. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I just finished one in a lightweight alpaca color gradient yarn and it’s a real showstopper. I’m working on several more, one in some saved skeins of Unforgettables yarn in a blue green combo, one in glitter thread dk combo, and another in a sport weight cotton self striping yarn. It looks good in all of them. You are correct that it’s fiddly but the results are so worth it! Love your shawl patterns so much!
Thank you for your teaching and especially for always including an extra repeat.

[@brendaconner1076]

I am about half way through completion. I love this stitch. It looks difficult but is so easy. Your tutorials are so easy to follow. I have already made a basket weave blanket and have gotten so many compliments. I look forward to following your projects in the future. Thanks.

[@kedmistify]

I love this pattern. Already made one shawl and I am going to make another. I really like the way you present the stitches and pattern. You are my favorite on Facebook. Thank you.

[@karensemones9302]

I look forward to the weekends especially since that is when your crocheting or knitting videos come out. This is beautiful and simple especially with your clear instructions. I love the blue yarn for the one you already completed. Thanks to Russ for providing the yarn for your video.

[@SuzanaBehmer]

Could you maybe make this into a square pattern for a baby blanket, please? I love your tutorials! Thank you for being so generous !

[@nancysavoy7030]

Love this one. So pretty

[@alicethiam3439]

Spider You r a great teacher..on that yellow overlapping shawl w back post stitches 😀

Beautiful design.explanation is good.

[@alicelee554]

The pattern is beautiful and your's teaching is very clear😊

[@marysingh2066]

I’m sooo full of love oh ya for the pattern too 😂. Thanks for the tip on replacing bpdbl for fpdbl , much easier ❤❤❤❤. I tried both, and I think you’ll agree. Thank you

[@dodijohnson1230]

Hi my favorite crochet tutor!!❤️
This one, oh my lands!!! Whew! For some reason I couldn’t seem to get ending rows and beginning rows lined up correctly in my brain. I kept trying to do it ass-backwards! UGH! I finally just wrote it down and now if I get confused, I can refer to my notes. I suppose I didn’t help matters by tripling the cotton blend yarn I decided to use.🙄(my eyes could not roll any further back)
I will definitely send you a pic when I am done with it. I love, love, love this stitch and I’m so excited that I learned it!
Thank you a hundred times for all you do for us out here. Stay caffeinated! We love you more than you love us!!

[@CraigsOverijse]

Super pattern thanks fibre spider as always lovely and well explained may try and add it in a different way to a around project I’m working on

[@ritasepulveda193]

I love all your tutorials, very easy to follow! I love your voice! It's soothing! I just started this lapping waves shawl!! So pretty! Stay safe!!

[@chisaixo]

This is beautiful and your color choice is perfect especially for the name.
Thank you for sharing!

[@lbluebird342]

It's looks like a mix of the VIRUS or CROCODILE stitch design I believe. Soooooooo GORGEOUS! I started a VIRUS design for an afghan for my living room in a beautiful dark teal. You're TERRIFIC no matter what u make!!!

[@pheesimonewaddell6186]

Oh my gosh!!!! This is beautiful & your tutorial makes it seem so doable!!! I can't wait to try it!!!

[@cynthiaventura360]

Omg I think you are the cutest in the way you explain thoroughly How to crochet 🧶 I just absolutely love you !! Thank you for your patience and the detailed videos you put out for us. I’m fairly new to crocheting 🧶 and you are the second person I have found that that really explains in detail the projects you do and I am absolutely grateful for that being that I can’t afford a class at this time and covid added to that has ruined everything 😂 thank you for sharing your art with us!🥰🥰🥰

[@kayjacobs3208]

This tutorial was perfect. It was easy to understand and I especially appreciated it was without music.

[@Mrsbraveheart64]

The pattern is beautiful. I tried it with front post double crochets and it is gorgeous. Thanks for the suggestion. I like it better than the back post version. I really appreciate your tutorials. You have such patience.

[@meaganfalasca6107]

Ive always wanted to learn this stitch and i get so tangled. Thanks for making it easy...and your voice is soothing lol

[@lindakgasi9299]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I started it with the ombre and it looked beautiful, but agreed that it would be too heavy so I've re-purposed the ombre and am now working this up in a 3 weight and it's comming along beautifully!!!!!! Taking longer because I keep stopping to admire "my work", I would have never even tried this without you.....Thank you and Thank you!

[@jeaninemillard9178]

Just finished it it's beautiful thanks for showing us how to make it

hello from Jerusalem Israel
thank you so much for your great tutorials
I love your work !!!

[@dalebaughman5830]

Love this pattern and you of course. I'm using Mandala sparkle and the color is Aquarius. I'm using the J hook as you suggested and it's working up beautifully. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I got to see the beach for the first time. Thanks for such awesome videos that I can follow very easy. Keep crocheting!😍

[@t-n-tcrochethookers6310]

Thank you. Making two then seeing our stitching them to make a poncho for my mom. I'm hoping she'll love it as much as I do.

[@karenwarren9888]

I just finished my shawl found your tutorial really easy to follow thank you for posting it xx

[@pamelapapin6970]

This reminds me of the Virus Shawl but the texture makes it so much more interesting. Love your videos.

[@lindachavez417]

Thank you for all your crochet videos. I've made a few so far and love them. I'll have so many I'll sell some lol you are easy to understand and follow. 😍💓💓💓

[@sharonbrown1664]

Thank you! You made it so easy to follow you. I have the same color of Red Heart Ombre that you showed as your finished shawl. I can't wait until mine is done!

[@kathyvanderslice6518]

I've been wanting to make this stitch for some time and tonight was the night with Mandala Baby cake 3 weight yarn in Echo Caves. Well....it's gorgeous! You are amazing and love that you work rounds along with us and don't race through the tutorial. The baby cakes have almost 600 yards each so they also go a long way. I appreciate your point that this is a yarn eater and purchased plenty so I can make this as generous as I want! Thank you!

[@kristafu]

Hahahahahaha "return the unused yarn".... you slay me.... LOL! Keep up the great work!
