I know this video is 6 years old but I just found it and I'm so glad I did. The pattern is lovely (simple enough for it to be relaxing but varied enough still to be engaging), the pace is perfect, the tutorial is easy to follow without having to check the video after every stitch, and there's the perfect amount of repetition to follow along without having to concentrate really hard without being bored to death if that makes sense. Like it's just a perfect Goldilocks kinda tutorial I suppose. :D It was very pleasant to listen and crochet along to after a long, stressful day and I'm looking forward to watching part 2 now. Thank you for making this!
Love this pattern but most importantly, you are a fantastic instructor. You are patient and give excellent explanations. Thank you so much for making this difficult pattern, for a beginner, so easy.
I used to crochet a lot, even with the tiny thread. I've had 2 strokes and my hands are half numb.... so doing hand work is really hard now because I can't feel my yarn to tension it right. This pattern has given me hope, I like your voice, and style, thanks to you tube, if I don't get something i can backup and re-watch a part and finally get it right. I've forgotten the patterns I used to know, this shawl is for me because I feel cold all the time unless the temp is around 80.... so this is for me. THANK YOU!!!!
If it helps any, I had a TIA and I took up crocheting to help with my eye-hand coordination. The worst part is that the TIA was on the left side of my brain which meant that my right limbs are affected. I still have moments where my fingers go numb but I persist. I have faith that you can overcome and be a great crocheter again.
I have neuropathy in my hands and they are getting very weak now as well, I've made so many of this pattern and the dragonfly one as well. I try to crochet every day, so scared of losing my fine motor skills and although painful, I keep making shawls to give to women in need. Don't know what I will do when I am no longer able to knit or crochet. I have stage 5 neuropathy in my feet as it is and I was always barefoot and now it hurts more than my open heart did trying to walk barefoot. Will keep you in my prayers!
Agree...your voice is very soothing. I've fallen asleep to many of your tutorials. Not because they were boring, but because of your voice. I'm so glad that I found this video, I have a varigated yarn that I think this pattern would be perfect for.
I love how clear you are with all your instructions, it sure makes things a lot easier, I think this is the third or fourth shawl pattern I've followed of yours, and am thrilled with how they all turn out. MANY MANY THANKS......keep up the good work Fibre Spider, you have lots of fans.
I started this pattern today from ravelry, I'm happy I found your tutorial thank you. You're clear video confirmed I have been doing it right. Thank you
My niece told me about this channel. I owe her a big thanks. I did the Lost Souls Skull shawl and absolutely love it!! This one is turning out extremely well. I intend to give it as a gift. Thank you so much.
Very nice video! Camera is nice and close. Your just right speed, nice and slow. Your voice is nice, quiet and calm. I love this pattern and watching this video, I now think I can.🥰
I’ve tried to follow several video tutorials today and I couldn’t. I started thinking I must be having a stroke or something. Not kidding. But then I found this one and I realized it wasn’t me, it was the tutorials lol. I can follow your instructions no problamo 😂😌 so thank you!
This shawl is next on my list - Thank you for creating such thorough videos. The mark of a great teacher is to anticipate the questions of their students and give them confidence to challenge themselves. Thank you for doing both and much more!
I followed every stitch with you and I ended up with a gorgeous butterfly!🦋. Love it. You are so sweet and calm to teach. I’ll be waiting for your next video so I can crochet a lovely shawl. Greetings from Australia 🐨🦘.
Thank you so much! You have made instructions very easy to follow! My father passed away last September, my mom and I have said dragonflies are signs of him because they were flying around his casket. This shawl is for my mom and the butterflies are close enough to dragonflies so when she wraps up in the shawl she will be able to know dad’s arms are around her too!
This is my second shawl and I love your patterns and your tutorials.... Thanks...oh to be clear this is my second butterfly shawl....total I've probably made maybe 4 different ones...all came out beautiful... Thanks again!!!
There are so many patterns, teachers and tutorials out there. I needed something new, challenging, but soothing at the same time. Your tutorials and manner makes this the perfect project at the perfect time. Thank you!!
Yes, you are an excellent i structor, so clear even I get it smile .p.s. not just for you, but anyone doing tutorials, what would be helpful is if on a small tabletop stand, the finished product or partial project were draped over on the spot youre doing and instructor could point and instead of saying "this will make sense" instructor shows on disp!ay and then it visually makes sense where we're going with the step you're on
Lovely pattern thanks so much for your generous nature. I've crocheted for many years but thanks to your tutorials I'm knitting as well! Thanks again Fiber Spider love your RUclips channel
I've made many of these shawls & they turn out lovely. Just a piece of info which I decided to do instead of doing a triple crochet to make the butterfly body I'm doing the DC/double crochet & it works out perfect. Plus its much easier to do & the body of the butterfly is just a tad tighter. Looks amazing. Just thought I'd share this with all of you
This looks so much more doable than the first one I tried!! And prettier! Thank you so much - this is for a special person and I just might make one for me 🙂
I love your videos and appreciate you so much!! I learned how to crochet as a child by watching my grandma. While I love crocheting because it is so relaxing, it’s like meditation for me, but unfortunately I never learned the proper terminology and can’t follow a pattern to save my life. I watch other videos and can barely follow them as it’s like another language they’re speaking and they do it so quickly, I find myself constantly pausing and rewinding. So honestly most of my projects I’ve just muddled through and figured out my own incorrect techniques lol. But then I found Fiber Spider and his excellent, easy to follow videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your gifts, Fiber Spider ❤️
Dear sweet wonderful kind and endearing Craig I have been searching for a shawl pattern over a year for my sister. My mother loved butterflies and once again the spider man comes through. I am completely a flutter that i just finished this tutorial & I am 100% sure my wombmate is going to soulfully love her gift. Thank you,thank you,thank you. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Beautiful shawl, just love the butterflies !!! Im going to have to make this one !!! Thank you fiber spider for posting such a beautiful shawl video !!!
💜😉💜👌💜 After croched Bags👜🎒Cardigans🧥Pants🛏️Blankies etc.. I gonna make this beautiful Butterfly🦋Shawl.. Love the way of your Tutorial...your Voice is calm...thnx for sharing.. Dru🌹
oh my..? I went and bought 2 Caron cakes today. Went onto youtube searched for you and saw this. I wanted to make a shawl for a friend but it had to be a special one. The name of the shawl spoke to me. Just started the shawl. Thank you so much. it means a lot. You have so much patience. (yea I heard that laugh... xxx) Thank you
I love Spring because all the dead brown things green up and become healthy looking again. I also love Fall because of all the beautiful colors and those amazing crunchy leaves we get to rake up. The scarf is absolutely gorgeous and the colors remind me of Fall.
hi Fiber Spider. I really enjoyed your tutorial. I love spiders and butterflys. Thank you for your calm clear instructions. I followed along. Gonna make mine in 4 pastel shades of dove grey, pale strawberry pink, deeper strawberry pink and mint green dk yarns, with a different colour for each row grouping that makes up a butterfly. I'v only started crocheting before xmas 2019 and I've really gotten confident due to all you crafters and teachers out there. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates you. Big virtual hug. 😄❤
Just did the foundation it looks so cute can’t wait to finish this it’s going to be a gift for a friend was has been ill going thru several surgeries and needs one more. Thank you. Your such a good instructor.
I can't even begin to express my gratitude to you! You have made learning to crochet so easy. Your videos are very well done and fun to follow along with. It's like having you right here with me. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Hi Fiber Spider l just love all of your videos l just can't keep up with but I am working on them. Thank you so much for the time that you put into each video.
This is a beautiful shawl. I gave it to my mother last year for her birthday and mothers day. Instead of the a turning chaining for rows 2 and beyond, I used a chainless starting dc.
This is the second shawl I have started for this pattern but your gentle voice and excellent teaching skills are wonderful. On my first try the "teacher" was not so patient nor dedicated enough to the art of crochet.
You are so talented and do such a great job explaining each pattern. Bonus: you have such a soothing voice that even when the pattern gets challenging, you always seem to positively talk us through it. Thank you for all your tutorials!
i love your videos. wasn't this pattern, but my MIL loved the shawl i made for her and it was one of the many lovely patterns you've shared. if i had the editing ability I'd make an hours long video of you explaining and counting out the stitches. it's so relaxing!
I made this for a friend who had Covid and was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. Love your videos! You explain things so well and doing a couple of extra rounds just to make sure we know what we are doing and feel comfortable before leaving us on our own is priceless! Thank you for helping me help a life long friend feel better!
I love this pattern and have just started my third shawl. Instructions are written down but continue to turn on your video because I enjoy doing it with you! You are a great instructor! This compliment is coming from a retired teacher, you are a natural!
A comfortable speed, clear instructions, and a pleasant voice. Your channel is such a delight! I promised my friend a shawl for her birthday (much belated a gift at this point, oops!!), but I couldn't find a design that truly felt like something she'd like without costing my mental sanity 😹 Just went through this video and gotta say, it's stunning and feels very achievable! I'll be making my way over to the second one, but I just had to leave a comment with how immensely grateful I am to this tutorial. Looking forward to finally finishing her gift and learning much more from you in the future. 🦋✨
Oh my god I'm so thankful for this tutorial. I was looking for a pattern or video all week and only found one of a very unlikely woman, I couldn't understand anything and just gave up about the shawl. Then this tutorial came up and you're so nice, such a great teacher! Thank you so much for sharing what you know ❣️
This is SO helpful! Had figured everything out (fairly new to crochet compared to my 6 decades of knitting!) UNTIL I got to row 5 and capturing the bars! On my way now!
I was looking for a butterfly shawl pattern and as soon as I saw that this one was made by YOU, I knew it was the one to save on my computer. Your videos are always so easy to follow and I LOVE the fact you explain the entire row instead of just doing 2 repeats of the row's pattern and then saying, basically, "Okay finish the row." I am a visual learner and your videos are perfect for me. Keep them coming, please!!!!!
Omg!!! I love this! I followed along perfectly😍you are a great guide! I'm so excited. I'm a new crocheter, so I'm so happy to do more than a scarf🤣I appreciate you taking the time to teach these creative. Techniques. Thank you again, and blessed be🌟
Love this tutorial. Last year I made a virus shawl that I learned from you. Now can't wait to get started on this Butterfly shawl. Thanks for your tutorial.
This is the first of your videos I have watched and crocheted along with. Super easy to follow and I just love your energy. I caught myself smiling multiple times 💕 can’t wait to make more projects with you!
Amazing..your my hero Craig...I would never progress in my crocheting if it wasn't for you...seriously...and also I made your banana muffins to have with my coffee delicious ❤
I am in love with your hands!! So agile, so elegant, so beautiful to watch how they create those fantastic crafts. Oh yeah, i really like the patterns, you clear explainations and your voice too..
Oh soo beautiful xx 😍😘 I absolutely love butterflys I had pancreatic cancer and I'm in remission atm and I got a butterfly tattoo as a reminder I'm a fighter xx 😍😇
x chel crochet girl x bless you as well. If you have the need and get the chance, Walmart carries the mandala yarn but they are getting rid of it. Last night I got some for 3.98 a cake. I’m sure it would look beautifully on you. Just wanted you to know, just in case 🙂
Kathleen Vassallo Oh thanks for letting me know I'm from the UK so no walmart but im on a site called( lollys lil wool shack) she does cakes for around £3.50 all the time some times cheaper she has such beautiful good quality very cheep yarn and she does deliver all over I have loads of cakes she also does raffles of Facebook and I have won lol xx
x chel crochet girl x oooh ok, no problem. that’s amazing!!! I’ve never won a giveaway but I keep trying lol. I just looked up her site but she doesn’t ship to the USA. Poop. Lol well at least you can get gorgeous cake yarn like that, I’m happy for you. I’ve always wanted to visit the UK, maybe one day 🙂
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've learned so much from you! Also, your voice has a very calming effect. It lowers my stress levels. Thank you for that too!
This took me three tries to get down! Counting is so so so important and the stitch marker is so helpful. My brother and his friend don't crochet but they heard me playing your tutorial over and over again and asked me to send it to them because they love your voice so much! Great tutorial.
Just found this video...it is now on my to do list. You do a wonderful job of your tutorials, especially because you keep your work in focus! I'm sure you've seen enough videos by others to know that staying in focus is not easy for some. Thank you for doing such a good job with your videos!
I just recently lost my dad, so I decided to make this for my mom and my aunt. They both absolutely loved them. You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr 💚 I am looking forward to trying more of you projects.
I've made a few of these butterfly shawls already & they turn out lovely. I noticed a tutorial a few wks ago done by someone else & instead of doing a triple crochet she did a dc which appears to work as well. Thanks for all your tutorials as you explain everything so well & love your work.
Ever considered standing stitches instead of chaining at the start? You could definitely do them well. I've found they help sometimes when I have trouble with figuring out where the appropriate stitch is. I love your tutorials! So clear, relaxed, not overly conversational, not strictly regimented, but more like chilling with an informative friend. It's a great balance! I've wanted to try this stitch for a while & I'm eager to see how I'll do. Thanks for your sharing!
hello fiber spider I finished the lakeside shawl and it so beautiful and now I am starting to crochet the butterfly stitch prayer shawl thank you for your tutorial I have learned so much from you looking forward for more of your videos.
Fiber Spider, I hate you! Not really, of course. I actually love you, but you make me think outside the box. I have made 3 of these lovely shawls and have been thrilled with the results. So tonight, I got a wild idea to bead one. I'm using Lion Brand IceCream Big Scoop in the colorway Lemon Meringue. Just lovely! I have added pearl pony beads and am working them in the "body" of the butterfly. threading 135 beads on the yarn before starting was a little daunting but now that I'm into my 5th repeat it's really showing off beautifully. What a perfect pattern for beading!! you truly inspire me to go out there and do things. Please keep up your tutorials and your readings. I love them! Listen to them while I crochet. You rock!!
thankyou for this lovely shawl tutorial. I love it how you patiently teach step by step. God bless you always.
I love your patterns and your patient instruction. Thank you for your videos.
I always enjoy your tutorials. You are slow enough to follow and make it easy...thank you so much
i really like the way you teach your tutorials thank you
I know this video is 6 years old but I just found it and I'm so glad I did.

Thank you for making this!
Made this using redheart unforgetable in dragonfly colorway for my Mom.
I made the chevron Butterfly blanket with lion brand Sunset Nights color way Santorini turned out AMAZING 🤩
Love this pattern but most importantly, you are a fantastic instructor. You are patient and give excellent explanations. Thank you so much for making this difficult pattern, for a beginner, so easy.

I have the same problem after my stroke. These tutorials are the best! God bless 🥰🧶

How did it go??
I have neuropathy in my hands and they are getting very weak now as well, I've made so many of this pattern and the dragonfly one as well.

I love butterflies 🦋,and am so happy to find you, I love the way how you explain.God bless you.Thanks ,am going to do this .
Thank you very much for teaching in such a simple way. You are so much faster than me and I have to stop the video a lot.
Very nice pattern. I will make this shawl to gift a friend and one for her two year old. Thank you for explaining every stitch and going slowly.
Thank you fiber spider for your easy to follow tutorial. I’m making one as a gift now. Lovely. Just lovely.
Agree...your voice is very soothing. I've fallen asleep to many of your tutorials. Not because they were boring, but because of your voice. I'm so glad that I found this video, I have a varigated yarn that I think this pattern would be perfect for.
❤ Thank you for sharing and talent with us. Your voice is very calming. I was able to slow the video down and/or back it up as needed.
This is a beautiful shawl. I am going to do this one. Need to get the yarn tomorrow. Thank you Fiber Spider.😊
I love how clear you are with all your instructions, it sure makes things a lot easier, I think this is the third or fourth shawl pattern I've followed of yours, and am thrilled with how they all turn out. MANY MANY THANKS......keep up the good work Fibre Spider, you have lots of fans.

This shawl is for my mom and the butterflies are close enough to dragonflies so when she wraps up in the shawl she will be able to know dad’s arms are around her too!
What a beautiful sentiment. You're very special to bring forward in your mother's memories the hugs she had before when she needs a hug.
Your instructions are so clear. You're a great teacher.
This is my second shawl and I love your patterns and your tutorials.... Thanks...oh to be clear this is my second butterfly shawl....total I've probably made maybe 4 different ones...all came out beautiful... Thanks again!!!

I love Spring because all the dead brown things green up and become healthy looking again. I also love Fall because of all the beautiful colors and those amazing crunchy leaves we get to rake up. The scarf is absolutely gorgeous and the colors remind me of Fall.
hi Fiber Spider. I really enjoyed your tutorial. I love spiders and butterflys. Thank you for your calm clear instructions. I followed along. Gonna make mine in 4 pastel shades of dove grey, pale strawberry pink, deeper strawberry pink and mint green dk yarns, with a different colour for each row grouping that makes up a butterfly.

Hi Fiber Spider l just love all of your videos l just can't keep up with but I am working on them. Thank you so much for the time that you put into each video.
Excellent video. Love the butterflies, beautiful yarn!! Fun pattern to do.
Thank you.🦋💖
This is a beautiful shawl. I gave it to my mother last year for her birthday and mothers day. Instead of the a turning chaining for rows 2 and beyond, I used a chainless starting dc.
This is the second shawl I have started for this pattern but your gentle voice and excellent teaching skills are wonderful. On my first try the "teacher" was not so patient nor dedicated enough to the art of crochet.
Such a GREAT tutorial! Never had me guessing or having to rewind. Thank you!
Oh how pretty. I will put this one on my list! Thx for sharing!
I’m so glad this showed up on RUclips!! Love the pattern. You are a great teacher💖
You are so talented and do such a great job explaining each pattern. Bonus: you have such a soothing voice that even when the pattern gets challenging, you always seem to positively talk us through it. Thank you for all your tutorials!

x chel crochet girl x bless you as well. If you have the need and get the chance, Walmart carries the mandala yarn but they are getting rid of it. Last night I got some for 3.98 a cake. I’m sure it would look beautifully on you. Just wanted you to know, just in case 🙂
Kathleen Vassallo Oh thanks for letting me know I'm from the UK so no walmart but im on a site called( lollys lil wool shack) she does cakes for around £3.50 all the time some times cheaper she has such beautiful good quality very cheep yarn and she does deliver all over I have loads of cakes she also does raffles of Facebook and I have won lol xx
x chel crochet girl x oooh ok, no problem.
that’s amazing!!! I’ve never won a giveaway but I keep trying lol.
I just looked up her site but she doesn’t ship to the USA. Poop. Lol well at least you can get gorgeous cake yarn like that, I’m happy for you. I’ve always wanted to visit the UK, maybe one day 🙂
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've learned so much from you! Also, your voice has a very calming effect. It lowers my stress levels. Thank you for that too!
I love this pattern. I already made four! Thank you so much!
This took me three tries to get down! Counting is so so so important and the stitch marker is so helpful. My brother and his friend don't crochet but they heard me playing your tutorial over and over again and asked me to send it to them because they love your voice so much! Great tutorial.
Just found this video...it is now on my to do list. You do a wonderful job of your tutorials, especially because you keep your work in focus! I'm sure you've seen enough videos by others to know that staying in focus is not easy for some. Thank you for doing such a good job with your videos!
Love this butterfly stitch. Reminds me of summer. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was trying to follow the written pattern, which is a bit confusing. Your video clarified it and I am now really enjoying the project! Thank you!
Thank you for your patience to teach so calming. Love butterflies. Can't wait to try this shawl I have been wanting to make some. 😊
Thanks so much for for sharing this beautiful video 🙏
Thank you fiber spider I have learned so much from you for all you do for us
I just recently lost my dad, so I decided to make this for my mom and my aunt.
They both absolutely loved them.
You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr 💚 I am looking forward to trying more of you projects.
I've made a few of these butterfly shawls already & they turn out lovely. I noticed a tutorial a few wks ago done by someone else & instead of doing a triple crochet she did a dc which appears to work as well. Thanks for all your tutorials as you explain everything so well & love your work.
Ever considered standing stitches instead of chaining at the start? You could definitely do them well. I've found they help sometimes when I have trouble with figuring out where the appropriate stitch is. I love your tutorials! So clear, relaxed, not overly conversational, not strictly regimented, but more like chilling with an informative friend. It's a great balance! I've wanted to try this stitch for a while & I'm eager to see how I'll do. Thanks for your sharing!
Absolutely ecstatic i stumbled onto your channel. Can not wait to try this
hello fiber spider I finished the lakeside shawl and it so beautiful and now I am starting to
crochet the butterfly stitch prayer shawl thank you for your tutorial I have learned so much from you looking forward for more of your videos.
Fiber Spider, I hate you! Not really, of course. I actually love you, but you make me think outside the box. I have made 3 of these lovely shawls and have been thrilled with the results. So tonight, I got a wild idea to bead one. I'm using Lion Brand IceCream Big Scoop in the colorway Lemon Meringue. Just lovely! I have added pearl pony beads and am working them in the "body" of the butterfly. threading 135 beads on the yarn before starting was a little daunting but now that I'm into my 5th repeat it's really showing off beautifully. What a perfect pattern for beading!! you truly inspire me to go out there and do things. Please keep up your tutorials and your readings. I love them! Listen to them while I crochet. You rock!!
Do you have a video on how to crochet a bride harder
Cindy I would love to see your shawl when you are done. And I agree with you, Fiber Spider ROCKS!
