FYI, for anyone out there, I marked down the times in the video for the repeating rows ( after row 13) After finishing row 13, repeat rows 10-13 until desired length..Row10 starts at 46:54, Row 11 at. 51:42, Row 12 at 57:05, Row 13 at 1:03:42. Hope this helps
melrose795 Thank you so much! 😉
You're welcome :-) ;-) You are to be thanked yet again, as this tutorial has been "the one" to get me over the hump and to stop almost pulling my hair out.. :-0
Melrose795... God bless you! LOL, I think you made it a lot easier for a lot of people, myself, included. You ROCK. Thanks!
Hi you only going to row 9,how I get to row 13, confuse xx.
melrose795 thank you so much
I am truly blown away with the response this video has been getting, and I can't thank you all enough for your support and comments. I take my channel and my tutorials seriously, and it really means the world to me when I believe that I've actually helped someone! In fact, you all have inspired me to come up with a new pattern of my own for a shawl that I'm currently working on, stay tuned for it when it comes out! Until then - keep inspired, keep caffinated, and keep stitching! 😉✌☃
Fiber Spider thank you,XX
Thanks , tried other tutorial and could'nt get it at all. You are great!
Fiber Spider I like to watch you,but my problems are I am left handed and very slow, I would love to have this pattern, I have to restart this tutorial so many times to get it,thanks and keep on trucking.
Thank you so much for your video. I have tried to make this pattern in the past from a written pattern and could not understand it. I truly appreciate your effort you are the best!
how would you rate this piece for difficulty? thank you..
It is now almost exactly 4 years since you first published this video and I wanted you to know that you are still the go-to instructor for just the level of instruction I need. You are funny and sweet and just a great guy. When I'm frustrated and can't quite get a pattern, I shine my Fiber Spider light into the sky (a spider clutching a crochet hook in front two feet and a ball of yarn in two front feet on the other side) and it's FIBER SPIDER TO THE RESCUE! I sincerely don't know what I would do without you! Much love to you!
😊 Your comment made me smile when I really needed one... A RUclips rabbit hole sent me to this calming young man & grateful for the the peace. One day I'm going to actually put learning into action & make cute things for grandchildren. 😉9 & counting. 🔦May all your 'Spidey signals' be blessed
2 years after you made this comment, and it's making me smile 😁🤗💛
This has to be the absolute BEST VIRUS SHAWL tutorial. Not to mention the fact it was like crocheting with a friend. Thank you
I know this is 5+ yrs I n the past but it’s one of my top 10 vids and patterns of shawl you teach. I adore you, your personality, voice, teaching style, thurough nature, patience, kind heart, etc, etc, I could go on all day.💜 Dear Craig, I’m so happy you chose to do this channel. I wish I knew you in my every day life. You are a good 🥚 egg🥰🌻🙂🌅 bless your good heart.
I love listening to your voice when I crochet. it's so warm and relaxing. I am also happy to know that someone else out there loves "staycations" and coffee while crocheting! It's like having someone right here with me while I'm working on projects. Thank you for your tutorial.
Shonya Lancaster thank you! I feel like I just opened up an early Birthday card. (all misty eyed here) Thank you again, I appreciate your encouragement more than you know. 🙂
Shonya Lancaster omg I was just thinking the same here my shawl is huge lol just with this video and I'm always on a stayCay xo thanks so much
Shonya Lancaster day
Great teacher love your voice,I'll keep trying till I get it right!
I too love your voice, so relaxing.
239 people seriously have no life. How can anyone NOT like a crochet tutorial by THE Fiber Spider? *SMH*. I'm following this tutorial at the moment and so far, so good. I'm loving it!
Thank you!
The best part of your tutorials, besides your down-to-earth comments and fun quips, is the fact that you explain the PATTERN itself and not waste time teaching the basic stitches in the condescending manner that many others do. The tips you give help with retention of the stitch variations so I am less likely to keep consulting notes or video. KUDOS to your teaching style (and wonderful soothing voice).
Maria Kristina Hawl ugh, tell me about it! Like I understand the basic starter crochet stuff deserves some instruction for the pattern, but moderate to advanced stuff does not require it.
Yes Maria Kristina Hawl, I didn't pick this tutorial to learn the DC stitch. So many tutorials go that way, drives me nuts. Love this one ❤️♥️
🎯
Well said Maria Kristina
Can't believe 192 dislikes your tutorials are amazing makes learning so much easier for even a beginner like me 👍👍
Larissa Dunster I know so true by far the best video for me. I’m a seasoned crocheter. I doing this shawl for a local yarn store and recommend strongly Fiber Spider video as well as other videos he does.❤️ Keep going a beginner can do this with 👏👍
Beautiful video just too slow and too much talking
It’s his throat clearing. But I like his videos otherwise.
@@forahigherlove Simple, click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen, speed up the content so it sounds truly aggravating and then mute your sound. Easy enough.
@@cute4real846 🙄
This is THE BEST viral shawl tutorial! I only wish is chosen yours first! To walk through it together is fantastic!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉🎉🤗😆😜

Well, It’s 7 years from when this video was released and I thank you, so much for letting us know when to repeat the rows 10-13🎉 Thank you, sooooo much, I really appreciate that!!
After throwing it on the floor three times, tossing it in the trash twice. humming it across the room as many times as I can’t count, I finally found your tutorial for the virus shawl and was able to master the pattern and Shawl.
My deepest thanks to you.
hahahaha.....nice to know i'm not the only one who mistreats my yarn!!!! i took up what i call *piss-me-off* knitting almost 3 years back.....i have so many *gonna-finish-this-someday* projects, both crochet and knit!!! this is definitely an awesome video!!!
I have finally found a video for this pattern that i can understand and wont frustrate me and i have to pause and rewind a million times to see and understand. You explain. Things very well. You did a marvelous job and my project looks fantastic because of it. Thanks so much!!!!!.
I tell everyone that has a problem with the Virus Shawl to come see you! The length of time that you stay with your Yarnivores is so helpful to those struggling with this pattern. Thank you! Keep on hookin :D :D
You are a true God send. I love your teaching techniques and your voice has a real calming effect. I recommend your tutorials to everyone. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey there Fiber Spider. I don't comment much, because I feel like I would just be repeating myself about how much you have taught me, how much I LOVE the way you teach, and what an inspiration you are. I have completed many of your projects, and I only started teaching myself how to crochet about 7 months ago. AND yes they actually look really GOOD. You definitely continue with your mission to enlighten, educate and entertain for this newbie. Wish I could give you a million likes👍❤
Fiber Spider, I agree with Stella Luna in all that she said, I have been crocheting since I was 9 took a long break. Now I am building my confidence in making clothes besides just blankets so making more tops and sweaters I would love to see you come up with also but I really do enjoy your teaching. I was hit by a Logging truck head-on a year ago and while I’m in recovery I’m really building my confidence and I thank you for being here
Thank you Melrose for putting in those times! And Fiber Spider, I'm a seasoned crocheter and COULD NOT figure out this pattern until, in despair...I thought to look for a video on youtube! You're the greatest! Thank you so much for taking the time! After those first 5 rows, I could have followed my paper pattern but I enjoyed it so much more crocheting right along with you! Gonna be boring doing the rest of the shawl without your sweet, soothing voice! Thanks again!
Brilliant video...love it and love your voice and no distracting music. Excellent and thank you! Have looked at the rest and yours is the best!
Fantastic instruction. One of the best. Easy to follow and very thorough.
I love your videos and you helped me understand how to make this beautiful shaw. You explain things so well but do not act like we do not know anything. Cant wait to see more.
On a side note.. I got to Row 12 or 13 following a different video and now I am totally confused... So I found you.. Thank God for you!!!
You are AMAZING I taught myself to crochet in November and can do basic blankets, I’ve seen these a lot but they look so intricate and beyond my ability..but then I found you and I am doing it I AM ACTUALLY MAKING A VIRUS SHAWL 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Same for me ,never did I think it possible!
But thanks to you Mr.Spider the possibilities are limitless.
Thank you again for showing me how to make this!! You are the best!!❤
Reading through the comments, I have to agree that you make me feel like I'm learning from a friend. It would be so cozy to sit together in front of a fire and cups of tea, crocheting the day away! (and having a pro to help untangle the yarn would be a huge plus!)
I can’t count the number of times I’ve started a virus shawl and got lost by row 12. With you I sailed through and actually understood the pattern. You made it so clear. I am almost finished my 2nd shawl in 3 days and have the pattern memorised. Thank you so much.
I completely adore you! you are so easy to follow and we can actually see what you are doing. Your narration is clear and I love your little comments about your neighbours or your bandaid, just little everyday life things, they make me smile and laugh 🥰
7 years later and this video made me get it easily! Thank you so much! I hope you are still around here. ❤
You really do such a great job on your tutorials. I'm a South paw and I have no problems following along.
Dear Spidey: I really enjoyed your video explaining how to do the virus Shawl and the fact that you went to round 13. Also the fact that you provided us with how to continue on in this process after row 13. Here’s a couple of tips that might help those of us who are not proficient in crocheting. I found myself wishing that your background was a solid color as opposed to plaid. And wishing after you finished a new row that you would lay out your work and and smooth it out so we could see it better. Thank you for your time and patience. You’re doing a great job. Wish I had found you sooner.
With the Covid 19 virus pushing up my wedding date, what a perfect shawl to wear at my wedding. I love it, the pattern and the name
Well here I am doing my third virus shawl. It’s been a long time since my last one so I had to be reminded of how to do it. I’m using a large Caron cake named Jordon almonds and I must say That I m having a wonderful time because I just love this pattern. Thank goodness you’re still on my iPad.
Theresa Gomm I have made over 30 shawls now and I’m back to the virus shawl because I love it 🥰. Since I v learned so much from you,I feel like you’re a brother now because you are so very easy to learn from. You are easy to listen to and very clear in your explanations. Thank you so much 😊 🧶🧶🧶🎹🎹🎹
This video is awesome. Your voice is soothing and your instructions are so easy to follow. I recommend you to everyone.
It's January 24/2023 and I wanted to let you know that I enjoy your teaching methods! You make learning these type of patterns so relaxing. You, BOD, Cinnamon Stitch and Jada are my absolute favorites 💞💖
I love this. I wish there was written directions so I could work out each row in my own time, and refer to it several times until I got it down. Just love this and grateful for you sharing it with us.
It was a pleasure watching your tutorial. You explained everything so wonderfully that I had no problem following you. Thank you so very much!
I am looking forward to more of your projects.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have done my very first virus shawl through this tutorial and I have enjoyed it much. I am now into making my 2nd virus shawl. God bless and keep doing tutorial videos with different designs for us who wants to learn crocheting…
I don’t normally comment publicly, but I made an exception here. Had I not found and renewed my interest in crocheting during the pandemic and your videos in particular, I would have gone stark raving mad! You brought me calmness in the midst of insanity all around me with your calm and easy manner and way of teaching. It just clicks for me. I learn best by seeing and then doing. Written patterns are gibberish to me until I actually SEE it done. This pattern looked so daunting about 6 months ago and I skipped right over it. A friend sent me the link recently and I find now I can now not only manage it, I’m looking forward to finishing and wearing this treat for myself! Thank you so much from another appreciative “yarnivore” and PLEASE keep the videos coming! Recently spotted the “Granny” version of this and it looks like a 3 part challenge! WoW 🤩!
Same here! I've had a few virus shawl tutorials saved to try and after five minutes in to them, went "NOPE". Here, it makes SENSE because the pattern repetition itself is covered, not just "do these stitches, then these, doo-dee-doo" without pausing to lay out the work and show how it builds on itself. I think this is the first time I've started a project and followed along without ripping out a bunch of rows and rewinding!
I like the way you do your videos. You are nice and slow and explain what you are doing. It is nice to see a man taken an interest in these crafts. I have done two of your shawls so far and am looking forward to doing more. Thanks so much
Nice name
thank you so much for these videos. your tutorials are fantastic. I love these shawls and you are so much more pleasant and easy to follow than anyone else. thank you! more shawl patterns please! you are so awesome.
Top Bussi
I have made your virus shawl many times❤ but i always need to come get a refresher ❤ ty for your clear tutorials YOU ROCK❤❤❤
I want to thank you so much I've been trying to learn how to make this shawl for a while. I tried alot of different videos but I couldn't make it I was about to give up then I found yours. I love that you take your time and explain everything step by step. I must compliment you on having a wonderful sweet voice it is rather pleasant. Now whenever I want to learn a new pattern I'll check yours first. Its funny they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks I started crocheting about a year ago I'm 50 and I'm learning. Thanks for being such a great teacher
Does anyone know how many cakes it takes to make one shawl?
Yay! Another Virus Shawl Tutorial that is LONGER than some and more understandable! I have noticed some variations between different tutorials, some do the stitches or spacing a bit differently.. I have had a hard time reading any written patterns and have struggled with the online tutorials.. AAACCKKK! I am still working on my first shawl, and I may frog it and start over as I have made some mistakes on my stitch counts.. I think this video is the ticket to getting me over the hump.. THANK YOU SIR!!!
melrose795 you are so very welcome! On the one hand I realize that my tutorials are on the long side. However, I feel that it is sometimes more important to be thorough so that the process is more easy to grasp. Keep your chin up, and keep stitching! 😉
I agree and again, much appreciated and thanks for the encouragement! :-)
Thanks for the longer video. I almost have it now. It takes many repititions for me to really pick it up.
Oh my goodness mine looks great!! I've tried and given up on learning this several times. Thank you for providing step by step /row by row instructions. I was able to follow along while waiting for jury duty yesterday. I'm in love with the Carron cakes too, but decided to go with Heart and Sole sock yarn for this - since it's easier to pack on the bus commute and assembly room
Fiber Spider, yours is the 5th video that I have watched for the virus shawl and the best so far. I enjoyed it so very much. I even had a good laugh about the eyes on your shawl. Keep up the good work. We need more people like you that want to help people like me learn new things. Thank you ever so much.
Kathy Price thank you, I just do the best that I can 😊
THANK YOU for marking the repeating rows! That makes it so much easier to pick up the rhythm of the pattern
Please keep your videos long because otherwise I can't learn from you so that is why I watch you You take the an extra mile otherwise we get lost and never finish a project
After you stopped and I stopped I get lost on my own Wish you would finish one with us. Just a thought and prayer
Just repeat rows 10-13. Over and over. Hope that helped, you, Carolyn!
From Melrose795: FYI, for anyone out there, I marked down the times in the video for the repeating rows ( after row 13) After finishing row 13, repeat rows 10-13 until desired length..Row10 starts at 46:54, Row 11 at. 51:42, Row 12 at 57:05, Row 13 at 1:03:42. Hope this helps
Thank you

I have made this pattern with another video but after finding this video here makes it a far nicer experience.
I like your color choice and the time that you take to explain each change.
And your personality is pretty cool. Don't let anyone bag on you or make you feel less than.
You are worth far more than you know!!
What can I say? Firstly, thank you I just try my best to be thorough and comprehensible. Second, that I fell in love with Caron Cakes, lol. Thirdly, as for me, well, everyone I've met since I stared this channel has been really wonderful, supportive, and constructive with their feedback. It is for all of you out there that I make and share these videos, because it is for you that I care to keep these things I've learned alive for any and all that have the creative fire in their heart. In other words, it's what I do, lol.
Fiber Spider that is a wonderful outlook on what you do.
Personally, I think the fact that you, being a male, find crocheting as important as we do.
I really dig that. crocheting isn't just a females sport lol.
Can you just imagine if more men got involved and engineered new patterns and masterpieces?! That's not to say that females haven't contributed significantly to the crochet community over the centuries. But having a mans perspective can add so much more to this arena of craft.
Hence the proof of your creative deigns and awesome teaching techniques.
I don't know of you have a Facebook or not but if you do it would be cool if you would add me.
There are a ton of crocheters on my friends list that could benefit greatly from your crochet perspective.
Hope you have a wonderful day in Jesus name!
Actually I just created a Facebook page with the same name and picture of "me", feel free to drop by 🙂
Sounds wonderful! As soon as I get back on in (a while lol taking a sabbatical) I will add ya :) Unless you wanted to drop me a request 😊
Thank You again
Nicole Pilk well it's not a group, nor a personal account, its a Page that I'm devoting as an offshoot to my channel. Not sure how it all works, but I'm making an effort.
Thank you so much for the explanation. It's all clear. I'm not bilingual in english and I understood everything! Let's continue for this beautiful shawl!
This was the BEST virus shawl tutorial ever. It was simple to follow your instructions.
I am so very thankful that I found you!!! Your voice is so pleasant and your quips are amusing. You are so patient and easy for me to follow. I hated for the video to end. I’ve definitely subscribed to your videos and set notifications so that I never miss any! Thanks for making me feel like I can actually finish a project with pride! You’re awesome 😊
Thank you so much! I so wish I could figure out how to send a picture to you. I just finished making this shawl for my sister for Christmas in Mandala , Lions brand wood Nymph. I also made my mother your Arbor stitch shawl in Caron Cakes Pistachio. Your videos are easy to follow and I love how calm and happy you are. Your personality helps me to become focused and build confidence in my crochet skills. Thank you so very much, you don't know how much you have enlightened me on many projects.
If he has an Instagram account you can get a photo to him there.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. You made it so clear what stitches to go in. Great teacher! Really enjoy this stitch.
I have tried to learn the virus pattern by watching numerous youtube videos and just couldnt get it until i found you, thank you so much. You explain things to make it easy to understand and i can proudly say i can do the virus pattern in blanket form and shawl form.
It actually turns out to be a repeat of rows 10-13 after you finish the last row (which is 13). Just keep doing those rows until desired length..
Thanks, appreciate it.
Thank you so much for explaining what to do after you finish row 13. MR FIBER SPIDER LEFT THE VIDEO WITHOUT EXPLAINING WHAT TO DO !!! HE WAS GOOD ALL ALONG BUT AT THE END ...LEFT US A LITTLE LOST ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATION TO CONTINUE!!
Love this! Your'e very pleasant and easy to understand and follow. I've seen other virus shawl tutes and you top them all. Thanks for showing us this awesome pattern. My ONLY real suggestions would be to put a plain background instead of something with a pattern, so that the camera doesn't focus on the stripes of your background instead of you. Peace!
Mary Botkin i
Awesome Design. Great teacher you are. I liked the way you explain every row with such a patience. Your voice is very calm and so clear. Thank you so much for sharing this video sir. I am new to crochet world..I thought I will get lost after u finish this video...I actually got stuck for some time..but then I managed to continue because of your video. Thank you so much.
I am sure you have heard this before...but your voice is so soothing! I could listen to you all day. I am following along with this pattern and it is working up so quick and lovely! Thanks
I THINK I CAN DO THIS... i'm so excited... it will be my first virus shawl.
I love you spider fiber!! Ur Awesome
Omg,I finally got it!just could.not give up,great tutorial, thank you Spider,your voice is very pleasant.
Thank goodness for you! I still can't read a pattern to save my life but thanks to your amazing and thorough tutorials, I am able to make some beautiful things. I actually made the "Virus meets Granny" shaw first, then this one. Please keep sharing your projects; I learn so much from you.
I'm on my eighth set of googly eyes (ha ha) in the pattern. it took a few rewinds before I got the hang of the repeats but now I've got it. remembering how to finish and begin rows is my biggest problem. Thank you for this tutorial.
I agree. The changing at the end takes me forever to understand and remember.
Lori Weigert the first
Oh my gosh that's my problem too!! I was okay once I started but how to end and begin....lol
I am going to make one in Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball., have seen this yarn used for the Virus and it is also stunning with the color changes, albeit much lighter weight yarn.. Lion also recently came out with the Shawl in a Ball Metallic.. Gorgeous stuff, but the Metallics are just offered online on Lion's Website, to my knowledge.. Oh the endless possibilites.
melrose795 I have such a hard time with shawl in a ball by Lion brand I can't seem to keep my tension right because it so slippery on my hook
Veronica De Leon try using a wooden hook instead of metal. Good luck I hope this helps.
i know this was a while ago but I'm using shawl in a ball too. It took me five attempts to actually get it started lol. but it's so pretty once it gets going
Dear Fiber Spider. Thanks you so much. After two failed attempts at following another tutorial I found you! So far so good. I completely understand your tuition which is so pleasi g. I also love your little jokes! Sparkly.
You help me so much.
I am able to try all different types of stitches.. Thank you so very much for your patiently way of teaching. God Bless You.
My dear Fiber Spider... Love your tutorials. You make the best ones by far. I just have one question... Do you usually say how much yarn is needed for a project? Or at least an approximate yardage? If not would you start adding that into your videos? Anyway... You are fabulous... Thanks for your time.
It'd be so much fun to have coffee and crochet with you. We'd hum and sing, together. Peace.
I am left handed and find crochet hard to do, but I can follow you and really do well,thanks a million
I love the way you teach this. You go at just the right pace for me to follow along. You make the pattern easy to understand. I can't believe I'm actually able to do the virus pattern. Thank you so much for all you do. I appreciate you.
Getting back into crocheting. I haven't crocheted since high school, 30 years!! I really like your videos! I am a visual learner! You made it easy!!
+anarchyolson thank you very much, I try my best! Welcome back to the stitching world, lol 😄
would love to see this done as an afghan or baby blanket.
patsy cline If you check out Joanna Martinez here on RUclips she has a Virus Afghan.
Yarnivores!
My gosh that is hilarious XD
A friend recommended your youtube videos and as a total beginner this shawl was the first big project I did , have only crocheted some granny squares to get the hang of the hook. Love your videos this shawl has been so much fun to do , not quite finished yet want to do a few more rows. So easy to follow and your explanations are great. Looking forward to more projects. Cheers Janine
Hello spider 👋 I am 64 in a convelesnt home and I have learned a lot about crochet , patterns and hooks thanks you
Can you tell me how many cakes this takes before I start to be sure I have enough please and thank you!
Yes, how many? Thanks!
@@elizabethr8174 most people use between 2-3 (the 3rd only using some of), it depends on how small or big you want it
Great! Thank you 😊
This is such a great resource for the virus shawl! I'm frustrated with my Caron Cake though, I am using Lilac Frosting and I have made it all the way through row 13 without experiencing a colour change. It doesn't seem like I will see one in the next few rows either! What has been your experience with the consistency of colour changes with different Cakes?
Dani Girl firstly I'm so glad you are finding my video helpful! As for any variegated yarn, my experience tells me - go with it and enjoy the ride 🙂 No two are ever exactly alike, just like people. Also, keep in mind that at the beginning the color seems to last a long time, but as you go on and the rows get bigger, the striping will be quicker and more distinct. Btw, I have a new shawl pattern that I've been working on with Caron Cakes and hope to film it soon! Please stay tuned in for future updates, until then, keep at it! 😉
Dani - I am using a Caron Cake and thought the same thing. The purple was boring and it kind of switched to a pinkish purple. But Row 13 - WOW! It's bright orangish! It made me so happy! I'm starting from the center of the ball if that makes a difference.
I used Mandala and it seems to do a little better job with the color changes.
I’m here in 2021 crocheting along in UK Nationwide lockdown with the cats. Thought it would be iconic to make a virus shawl. You are good for the insomnia. I am crocheting the stress away with you. I hope you and your loved ones are well. Thanks so much for this tutorial, it’s working up well with Caron Cakes yarn and a 5mm hook. Row 7 baby!!!! 😜
I enjoyed following this person. He isn't rushed. Very easy to follow.
Best virus shawl tutorial on RUclips 👍🏻😁 thank you so much!!!!
Wonderfully done - other viral shawl tutorials have been incorrect. Finally, someone who knows what they're doing'! Great relaxing voice, with a touch of humor. Perfect!
+Shauna Kelln I thank you! I have seen other tutorials and liked them plenty, but what I really aimed to do was give a full rundown on the pattern to help make it easier to grasp. Initially I was concerned about being long winded, as I tend to be, but am warmly delighted that you and others have found my efforts of some use. You are quite welcome, and I do hope you stay tuned in for more to come in the future 😊
You’re my new hero! I’ve wanted to try a virus pattern for a long time, but it looks so intricate I was intimidated to get started. Last night I was searching You tube for shawl patterns, stumbled on this video and after watching for 10minutes I knew I’d be able to do it, I ran out to Michaels today to get some Caron Cakes and tonight I’m at row 15! Thank you so much for the easy to follow instructions. My only regret is I didn’t find you sooner as this shawl would make beautiful Christmas gifts for a few people I know.
I'm delighted to have been able to help! The life of a stitcher is too short for regrets, use your time now and what you learn for harnessing your talent for future gifts that will surely spread some joy! 😊🕷☕
This tutorial by Fiber Spider on the virus shawl is absolutely perfect. I really "get it" watching him. Thanks so very much to him for such a comprehensive tutorial which he explains so well. It's the best!
This video is fantastic!! I just learned to crochet less than 6 months ago and was able to follow this nicely. I watched the pattern over again a few times as the project became larger- they way you explain things completely made sense to me. Thank you!!
Thank you for this tutorial. You are a great and thorough teacher!
I want to thank you. I have taught myself to crochet entirely from RUclips videos...with varying success. Then I found you and I 'm now three quarters of the way through your Virus Meets Granny shawl. I crochet along with you, pausing the video as necessary. I have learned so much from you and most importantly - I 'm loving it! Thank you again - know that you are appreciated!
Dude! Thank You! My very first attempt at the virus shawl, and you made it happen. I am so very appreciative. I like that you're real. (hook might slip out of a stitch, guess what, it happens in real life to me! Over count 4 chain stitch pattern, realize it's already time for the 7 chain stitch count, guess what, - yep - it happens!). I do not know how to read a pattern. I only know by someone teaching me basic stitches 50+ years ago. Thank you, thank you. The sense of accomplishment that you have afforded me is immeasurable and indescribable. Pat yourself on the back. Well done, well done.
You are so very welcome indeed and I'm delighted as always to be of help! Yeah, I'm human and make mistakes, but it is through practice and learning from the experience that we grow, and I just love that! Keep up the great work! 😊
Love it❤❤ large thread and hook and the repetition really helped most folks stoped at row 10 and for some reason I couldn’t get what to do next, I loved your video
I am watching part of this again. I've made this successfully before, but I stopped working on this one for months, and I needed a little reminder to get me back on track. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤best video for this shawl, watched a few and couldn’t catch on till the 12 row thanks so much!,,,,
Your voice does wonders for my anxiety. So peaceful.
WOW, never did I feel confident enough to tackle this magical, mystical, web until now. Thank you so very kindly for your lovely demeanor and narrative, as well as your wonderful ability to teach. You weave a stunning web. I am more than certainly enjoying myself on this fine morning. Working it up in Hobby Lobby Urban Chic in the colorway of Berry.
I am late to the game on this shawl. Thank you so much for a great tutorial. I am off and running thanks to you.
Thank you for your patience. I watched another video for this pattern, but only after watching yours I understood how it must be done. I can't wait to try it out!
After seeing this shawl a lot I wanted to give it a go as a change from blankets. I've watched many videos on how to crochet it but yours is the only one that makes sense without being condescending. Love how you explained so the pattern did get stuck in my head, felt like I was part of your home crochet group.
This is the most beautiful shawl, I saw you,in 2018, when I make it with cotton thread,it can out amazing,am glad I found you again and can make it with different yarn, thanks for sharing
Thank you.Appreciate your patience.Had a problem but your instructions helped greatly.
Thank you for showing us how to make this shawl. Happy yarning. 🐿❤
This is the third virus shawl video I tried, and it is by FAR the most clear. Thank you so much!
You are by far the best teacher.😀
Hi, very refreshing to watch a guy crocheting, I already made the bubble cushion for a Christmas present and loved it. Also this pattern is so easy to follow with your explanations. Keep it like that, now I am going to finish my shawl.
This is my fav crochet video. Been doing virus shawls now for 2 + years!
Hi guys I left some longer comments earlier today thanks to Melrose and Fiber Spider I’m well on my way to finishing my shawl for a private show after I couldn’t finish the first one. Melrose you’re a big help with the time stamp Fiber Spider your instructions were so good and video was super. I wrote down row by row watched and worked 8hrs yesterday on the shawl. On row 8 you gave us a clue look familiar now.
So the Repeat rows are 8-11
Because row 8 is a ch 10 increase the big loop at the bottom you will always increase at the bottom and the sides will also have more stitches.
(Rows 12 and 13 are just repeats of row 8 and 9)
Hope this helps too thank you so much Melrose and Fiber Spider as always I look forward to more of your beautiful work💕
