I know this is probably going to sound dumb, but I had to tell you. When I 1st saw this video I had to learn how to do it! And I did. It took me watching the video 2 or 3 times because I'm left handed and not right handed. That being said, I want you to know that I was 10 rows into my blanket when my son died. Very tragic. The night he died I croched for 18 hours. And then up until last week I never picked it up again. I started working on the blanket again and it's been a real inspiration. I felt like I totally forgot how to do the stitch again lol if it wasn't for your loving and kind teaching ability. I may never have picked up crocheting again.I just want you to know how much I love your teaching and the things that you make. Thank you .
I am German, originally from the Palatinate, now living not too far from the border to Bavaria. I have been crocheting for 58 years now and, honestly, I must admit that I have never been more impressed with a tutorial! You're one in a million... Thanks to the heavens, I learned English... so I could follow each very step on your beautiful piece of work. Your humour in combination with a patience equal to Mahatma Ghandi is delicious! I hope I can find the same yarn for that showpiece of yours at the beginning of your video. I loved that one more than your tutorial piece. Is there a link to purchase it? Again, my compliment for this. I subscribed within the first minute. Thank you
This fellow is a natural born teacher. His voice is so calm and encouraging. He makes the most complicated stitches seem easy. He could teach me any day!
You are one of the very few people who take the time to teach every step breaking it down and a lot of us are truly grateful for that. Especially that you go slowly and in depth. You are such a great teacher and your tutorials are so much fun! I’ve learned so much from you and I can’t wait to work on some more things this Coming year!
tip from my aunt who taught me as a girl - when chaining a row, put in a marker every 5 stitches (yarn scraps work well) That way, when counting back, you have a landmark to count off of. For larger projects, she would map out where the "target" stitches were, so she didn't have to count them backwards after she started working, and it made it easier to get under both loops of the chain.
I never could meditate. His voice is the best meditation medium I have ever found. I can now fully immerse myself in both meditation and crochet at the same time while creating a beautiful blanket. Who can ask for more than this all inclusive therapy! Thank you so very much.
I tried this years ago, probably using this video, but I was intimidated by the back loop trebles. But now, after years of practice on different patterns, I don't even mind those even rows. Thanks for all your teachings. I love this pattern, I'm doing a stash buster. Stay safe ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Fiber Spider. I really appreciate the slow enough pace, thorough, and patient crocheting so that we can see exactly where to place our hook for each stitch and yarn-over. The explanations as we go along are extra helpful. You display a great attitude for helping teach instead of acting like we already know what we're doing.
I love how you teach. You go at a speed that enables me to crochet along with you instead of constantly pausing and replaying. You have such a soothing voice.
Because of covid and a good friend who stopped laughing long enough to correct my comedy-gold-level errors, I achieved the lifelong goal of learning to crochet a year ago in May. I have yet to really use any of my dudes tutorials to practice a new stitch, but I can’t stop watching because my dude amazes me. No fear of failure, no fear of committing to complex and massive undertakings. No backing down from stitch patterns that require loads of accurate counting or vast lengths of yarn or color changes. I know it’s just string, but I declare this man brave. Crocheters understand.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Had a hard time finding one that was a complete project without having to cut and retie every other row. Very thorough explanations and very easy to follow. I have been crocheting for 50 yrs and am trying to expand my knowledge now that I am retired and have the time. Thank you again
Sewing in ends - the bane of our existence, lol! Thanks for doing this, so much appreciated. I tried this before and failed. Your tutorials are so easy to follow - you’re a prince among men!
Hi there, I've already make some of your crochet projects and I still can't get enough of it. Already made a lot of shawls, for summer and winter, because you've got them all😃 But now I'm going to make this one. I've got some gorgeous yarn with a bit of glitter in it, so I think that will going to be beautiful. Well, Fiber Spider, I've said it all before, thank you so much for all your crochet tutorials, you make many people so happy with it, especially the way you present it and the loud and clear explanations. With you as a teacher, everybody can crocheting. Byebye, hugs and greets from the Netherlands🇳🇱
I have to admit... I love nearly everything you crochet, and everytime you explain it I am able to understand and make it myself. Great teacher, with this unique soothing voice and a great sense of humor. You're my spidergod. Please, never stop enchanting us.
You are the best teacher and so patient. I have never attempted this stitch but got there in the end after rewinding a few times ha! I am in England but dont seem able to ge t such a good selection of wool but will do this again in a pastel shade. Thanks again.
It's been two years since I started using this stitch. I just love the way the cakes come out. Cakes are my favorite and this is one pattern that comes out so different every time. Love it!!
OMG! U R My Go To Guy! Luv your tutorials! Anyone can learn from you. U have a great teaching technique, and inspiring! Have started my blanket with Ice Yarn Magic Light, no color on yarn band given, it's a self striping, weight 3, crochet hook size G (4.25mm). It's very addicting and hard to put down to do other things. Thank You, thank you for being you.
I have to confess: I didn’t learn anything. I tuned in because I had a bad day and wanted to hear your calm, gentle, reassuring voice. I already know how to do Bavarian crochet. Thank you for the love that comes through when you speak. God bless you!
Finally made it to the end… OMG this was awesome!!! Thank you!!!… I’m amazed at how many times i had to re-work a section or re-watch a section…. Thank you again and again for your patience.
I've watched your videos 3 years ago and made a ton of crocheted things for my great grand daughter! I was watching you at 3 am to get it all done and you are so helpful I really appreciate it! I'm back again for another grandchild. Thank you!
I've been crocheting for years my mother taught me when I was 6 years old and I have loved every minute of my crocheting. And I always looked for tutorials to learn new things. Your tutorial is amazing! I have definitely subscribed to your channel and I also selected the Bell and touched all of your videos. I'm going to be looking for all your videos prior to this one because I know you have got to have made wonderful tutorials and I want to see them all. And I completely agree with all the comments that have discussed your calming voice with enthusiasm. I am so thrilled that I have found you I can't wait to see more of your tutorials. It's late and it's time for bed but I'm going to turn on this tutorial so that I can listen to your calming voice. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for this tutorial that you have so done so well. Good night and thank you for this wonderful crocheting project that I cannot wait to start. Have a blessed night. And I will be sharing this tutorial with all my crochet friends!
Thank you for showing me how to go under both loops on the first row. I’ve been doing it wrong. You are a brilliant teacher. I’ve learnt so much on the first row. You pointed out the squished stitch.
Excellent tutorial for a new grandmother! Very slow and good choice of words to remember what you are stitching, and great photography- excellent speaking voice also.
Thank you this is the first time in 30 years that I was able to actually complete a project using the Bavarian stitch. Bravo you are a wonderful teacher.
My football playing boyfriend taught me the basic stitches in the 1960's. It wasn't easy or me to learn it for some reason and he did not teach me how to read patterns or make anything before he went off to Vet Nam In the mid 80's I decided I really wanted to make something...so I bought a pattern book, picked a pattern, bought the required amount of thread and a set of needles, and taught myself how to read the patterns and create afghans. I did good. I have looked at this particular pattern on the work of others I have found in thrift shops and could never figure out how to start it. I ran across this video, by accident and decided to quickly check it out and come back to it later to watch it thoroughly. I watched it completely at the first sitting. I have looked at and watched other demonstrations, I have also looked at many pattern books and courses over the years and I will say that I could not believe how simple this young person made this difficult stitch; how well he displayed the pattern; how patient he spoke and worked to actually SHOW a beginner how to work. This young person actually cleared up points that I have wondered if I was doing correctly for nearly 40 years! He has got to be one o the most gifted teachers I have ever run across in any media.....and I have learned a lot of stuff in my life, both self taught and by teachers. Thank You so much for taking the time to create these videos...I will be passing them along to my grandchildren who want to learn, but don't have the patience with me to learn....I assume anyone can see what I am doing....I'm not the greatest teacher. I am so impressed! Thank You! =o)
Happy little crochet stitches. I usually look for a pattern first and then the teaching tutorial, but I look for this instructors tutorials and will make whatever he is teaching. Great job. Keep teaching!
I just found you, and boy am I glad I did! You are amazing! Like other admirers of your work, I love your cadence, you are a born teacher and have a calmness which is refreshing! I also am lefthanded and normally it is very hard for me to be able to follow the videos because of how fast people go! Thank you for putting this video up! Ooo and I love your little tricks to save time and tails, thank you! I have subscribed to you as well, you have earned yet another happy learner following your expert tutorials ! 😊
Edreams, I recently learned a little RUclips trick when people are talking too fast. In upper right corner of the video are 3 vertical dots. Click them and a set of options come up. Click on ‘Playback Speed’ and change it to 0.75 speed. It’s a game changer!! ☺️
At the beginning of Covid, I decided to learn how to read crochet symbol instructions on making things. Through many trials and tribulations I mastered the ability to follow the chart to make a beautiful shawl. But now I want to take the written instructions and turn them into symbols but whoa baby, it’s very hard for me. For this beautiful Bavarian Blanket, I’ve been sitting here for hours writing down FS’s words…ahhhhh. I’m now to rnd 3. For me, I have to write down everything he says..but I do use some abbreviations. How about some of you smarter crocheters out there put these instructions into word pattern form. I’m writing every a, and, and the. His video is fantastic and easy to follow..his camera doesn’t get blurry…words are clear. Perfect teacher! And I understand that there are many more excellent teachers out there but like everyone says, voice is very calming…just what we all need during these stressful times. Thank you FS for making me feel better.
Watching your hands while you work is so magical. The tips you gave will help me in all my work. Your presentation is very well don. I really like your work. Thank You what a pleasure.
Craig, this tutorial was great. You are a great teacher and I love to follow your instructions. You are so patient. The last time I had this tutorial on I fell asleep and missed almost all of it. I am so happy to have found it again. (I didn't remember the name of it and didn't know how to search for it.) Thanks again. I will definitely be making this blanket.
This is one of my favorite places to go for instruction, Fiber Spider. I have made several of the virus shawls including the one integrating the six rows of granny stitches. All of the praise in your feed is well deserved. I just bought a hat I perfectly well could have knit because I want to support you. You are so generous.
I am new to watching your RUclips videos but I must say you are very good with teaching and showing the steps on how to do these crochet stitches. Thank you
You've got my vote for being the best online teacher! Love how you take the time to explain things and repeat things. Keep it up. Love this stitch. In the past I would have said forget it but you have made it where I can understand it. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I kept seeing this stitch popping up on crochet groups and wrote it off as too complicated for me. You took the time to teach it so thoroughly and now I'm making a beautiful and impressive bedspread ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so grateful!
Thank you for sharing your talents with me, I love your tutorials and I mean it from my heart. No loud music allowed on here and you don't leave us unattended. Great teaching.
I DID NOT think I would be able to do this!!!!!! But I got through the first two round some I'm SUPER excited. I was just practicing until my new hooks come and then I'm going to do it again. Thank you for being such a great teacher!!!!! I've been crocheting 5 months and I can't wait to create this beauty.
Thanks so much. Have the pattern. I have made one 2 years ago . have a special baby coming wanted to make this one. Instruction s are really hard to understand . you made it so much easier for me.I wasted 3days . Thanks
Brilliant tutorial. The best I've ever seen on this Bavarian stitch. You are succinct but give exactly the the right amount of information and guidance needed to enable us to successfully complete the task. You have excellent, natural, teaching skills. (I am a retired senior lecturer, UK) Thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise.
Thank you for this tutorial. I love that you went through enough round repetitions such that it was easy to remember going forward. I practiced with scrap yarn and will be buying yarn for the real deal next week when I get to town.
No no no please don't leave me you are a awesome Teacher I want you to know that I kept going back-and-forth to the video your voice is so soothing thanks again .Lots love
My daughter wants a bag for her college binder and wallet. I have been looking for a special stitch and I think this is it. I've had small strokes and have problems following patterns so I will watch this over and over til I get it. Thnx Fiber spider.
This is just beyond lovely😍😍😍. And I must say, even thou I am an extremely new crocheter, this tutorial is so wonderfully done by Fiber Spider that I feel confident I could do this pattern👍😉👍😘❤️
At my age of 58 yrs I finally understand the Bavarian stitch by following you! Working on my first blanket using this stitch and the yarn I'm using is Red Heart Ombre in the color Sand.
I love this blanket. Reminds me of stained glass with this yarn. Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Perfect timing, very calm and I can easily see everything you're doing. This is why I look at yours first to find what I need.
When the thumbnail of this blanket popped up I thought how pretty , but that's going to be hard to do, then I saw it was by fiber spider, I thought YEAH HE'S THE BEST TUTORIAL TEACHER ON RUclips 💯♥️💯♥️♥️♥️👍✌️
You are the best teacher!! I can count on you to show exactly which stitch the hook goes and you always coach patience, forgiveness and humor! Bless you!
I just started crocheting last week and while doing research I came across your channel. I have to say WOW! You do such beautiful work and I love that you go slow enough that I can follow what you're doing.. Even though what you do is way do advanced for me right now I have a lot to look forward to!
Can't wait to start this one...love all your tutorials! Have done a few. I also do both crochet and knitting. Learned how to crochet when I was 7 years old and knitting just a little later. (Portuguese style)
I'm from Germany living in Ireland and usually translate all the terms as British and American terms are not the same for whatever reason. Here I didn't do it at all. The instruction is so absolutely clear and perfect that you just need to grab your yarn and join in - it works. Hardly saw anything so brilliant before. Thanks a lot!
You have been an inspirational teacher I have studied this video and am now making a blanket , for my bed I am going round and round I have a 4 foot square so far , your explanation of the stitches are wonderful, add a few little mistakes in the beginning but I am there now THANKYOU
Love how soothing and calm he speaks and isn’t going too fast Or Too slow bc that messes me up too! I’m excited to try this… I’ve just immersed myself into knitting and crocheting thanks to YT. Since my gma died and my mom doesn’t know how.. this is the best alternative & I won’t make the mistake with my 3 kids! All daughters too🤭 I’ll pass on the knowledge from this gentleman. I’m late IK but Ty so much for taking the time to teach, post and share🥰🙌🏽👍🏽
This is very beautiful Fiber Spider. I also would appreciate you showing how to make your cool crochet hook handle :-) Please and a big THANK YOU for being you!
Thank you very much for tutoring and teaching ❤ I like you so much such as a very good teacher because to be difficult finding a good person who teach slowly and understand and now I found you and you are a very good teacher in my heart. I will follow and look your another clip to teach Crochet forever…. Thank you very much again and Take Good Care my nice teacher ❤❤
I so enjoy the patterns you put tutorials. Your detail instructions help me so very much. I can not for the life of me figure out instructions. I've have created my own from around age of 13. I'm 58 now. I have even purchased so many from antique shops to use as patterns. Thank you for this "Crochet For Dummies!"
Dearest Spider Man ... every time you say, "Grab that bar," I keep expecting you to break out in song = "Tote that bale" from the musical SHOWBOAT. I can't help but giggle every time you say it. awwwwwwwww, Hugs
This is beautiful. On any new pattern tutorial, I set my playback speed at 75% on my chromebook, and it helps me to focus on it better...thanks for all your wonderful tutorials.
Love this guy. He is so calm and explains everything. Luv his patterns too. Mine came out perfect. Going to try this one now. Can’t wait to get started.
i love your patterns...when i start my first row i crochet in the hump in the back... it leaves a better looking edge... i have crochet for years but just started doing this not long ago....
Yes! I saw this tip on another channel, just the other day. I did that, and i made my initial row SO much neater looking and easier to do, actually. That initial row is always such a mess for me , so I think this will make a big difference in future work.
Thank you so much for teaching us how to do this intricate pattern. You are a very patient teacher and it is so easy to follow you. I’m about to try round 6 on my own and if I get stuck I will be right back here. Thank you.
I started out as a very clunky beginner but since watching your tutorials I am now confident to take on a project such as this Bavarian stitch blanket. Thank you for your wonderful explanations and demonstrations. I'm hooked 😉 ( pardon the pun) 😃
Thank you so much, I started years ago to make a Bavarian Blanket and I got bored, because to change every second row with a new color, this was to much for me. How do you make a Bavarian Square Blanket? Could I use this Blanket as a Lapblanket for my Mother ( she is 88 years old) in Germany, and she is always cold..............Again thank you so much When I hear your voice it calms me down and I know I can do it...................Great job.
Always fond of the old fashioned pineapple pattern... but...this Bavarian stitch has become my new favorite. So extremely lovely. Thank you for wearing out your fingers making sure every stitch is perfectly clear. My first attempt will be using this design as a wide, flowing shawl in a light weight wool and silk blend. This video takes the boredom out of repeat patterns and your work is of course perfection.
I agree totally with the person who said that you are a natural born teacher. You really take the time to make sure your viewers know exactly where to go and what to do with the complicated sections. I can’t wait to check out more of your videos!
I know this is probably going to sound dumb, but I had to tell you. When I 1st saw this video I had to learn how to do it! And I did. It took me watching the video 2 or 3 times because I'm left handed and not right handed. That being said, I want you to know that I was 10 rows into my blanket when my son died. Very tragic. The night he died I croched for 18 hours. And then up until last week I never picked it up again. I started working on the blanket again and it's been a real inspiration. I felt like I totally forgot how to do the stitch again lol if it wasn't for your loving and kind teaching ability. I may never have picked up crocheting again.I just want you to know how much I love your teaching and the things that you make. Thank you .
Next time just look up a video geared for left handers, no need to make things harder
Thank I I love this pattern
Good teacher I can understand thank u

Yes I love his calming voice
I can't crochet, but I love to knit, and Fiber Spider really taught me how to do some shawls, since they're very easy!

I love Fibre Spider tutorials, they are idiot proof. Several stitches that were new to me are now no longer scary or avoided. Keep crocheting Spider.
tip from my aunt who taught me as a girl - when chaining a row, put in a marker every 5 stitches (yarn scraps work well) That way, when counting back, you have a landmark to count off of. For larger projects, she would map out where the "target" stitches were, so she didn't have to count them backwards after she started working, and it made it easier to get under both loops of the chain.
I always do that
fantastic tip. Thank you Karen. I never thought about doing this. I have had to recount so many times and it is annoying.
Mahalo ( thank you ), Karen. Aloha from Hawaii
Rhank you for this tip. Ive had to rip out so many times when i start a project becausr i get called away when im doing my chains and lose count
Stitch markers are your friends. Most crochet videos don't use them. I don't get it. Mark those stitches! Make your life easier.
I never could meditate. His voice is the best meditation medium I have ever found. I can now fully immerse myself in both meditation and crochet at the same time while creating a beautiful blanket. Who can ask for more than this all inclusive therapy! Thank you so very much.
Best crochet teacher online! Calm, considered instructions and lovely pace. Many thanks for another great tutorial.

Happy little crochet stitches. I usually look for a pattern first and then the teaching tutorial, but I look for this instructors tutorials and will make whatever he is teaching. Great job. Keep teaching!
It's scary as climbing The Matterhorn, but you make it easy as a walk in the Park! Whee! Wonderful!!
I just found you, and boy am I glad I did! You are amazing! Like other admirers of your work, I love your cadence, you are a born teacher and have a calmness which is refreshing! I also am lefthanded and normally it is very hard for me to be able to follow the videos because of how fast people go! Thank you for putting this video up! Ooo and I love your little tricks to save time and tails, thank you! I have subscribed to you as well, you have earned yet another happy learner following your expert tutorials ! 😊
Edreams, I recently learned a little RUclips trick when people are talking too fast. In upper right corner of the video are 3 vertical dots. Click them and a set of options come up. Click on ‘Playback Speed’ and change it to 0.75 speed. It’s a game changer!! ☺️
@@katrinagreely5399 thank you so very much! I will try that next time!
At the beginning of Covid, I decided to learn how to read crochet symbol instructions on making things. Through many trials and tribulations I mastered the ability to follow the chart to make a beautiful shawl. But now I want to take the written instructions and turn them into symbols but whoa baby, it’s very hard for me. For this beautiful Bavarian Blanket, I’ve been sitting here for hours writing down FS’s words…ahhhhh. I’m now to rnd 3. For me, I have to write down everything he says..but I do use some abbreviations. How about some of you smarter crocheters out there put these instructions into word pattern form. I’m writing every a, and, and the. His video is fantastic and easy to follow..his camera doesn’t get blurry…words are clear. Perfect teacher! And I understand that there are many more excellent teachers out there but like everyone says, voice is very calming…just what we all need during these stressful times. Thank you FS for making me feel better.
Watching your hands while you work is so magical. The tips you gave will help me in all my work. Your presentation is very well don. I really like your work. Thank You what a pleasure.
Craig, this tutorial was great. You are a great teacher and I love to follow your instructions. You are so patient. The last time I had this tutorial on I fell asleep and missed almost all of it. I am so happy to have found it again. (I didn't remember the name of it and didn't know how to search for it.) Thanks again. I will definitely be making this blanket.
This is one of my favorite places to go for instruction, Fiber Spider. I have made several of the virus shawls including the one integrating the six rows of granny stitches. All of the praise in your feed is well deserved. I just bought a hat I perfectly well could have knit because I want to support you. You are so generous.
I am new to watching your RUclips videos but I must say you are very good with teaching and showing the steps on how to do these crochet stitches. Thank you
I don't need anyone else to teach me after watching you. Your voice is so calming and the patience you show is amazing! Thank you so much!!!!
You've got my vote for being the best online teacher! Love how you take the time to explain things and repeat things. Keep it up. Love this stitch. In the past I would have said forget it but you have made it where I can understand it. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I kept seeing this stitch popping up on crochet groups and wrote it off as too complicated for me. You took the time to teach it so thoroughly and now I'm making a beautiful and impressive bedspread ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so grateful!
Thank you for sharing your talents with me, I love your tutorials and I mean it from my heart. No loud music allowed on here and you don't leave us unattended. Great teaching.
I DID NOT think I would be able to do this!!!!!! But I got through the first two round some I'm SUPER excited. I was just practicing until my new hooks come and then I'm going to do it again. Thank you for being such a great teacher!!!!! I've been crocheting 5 months and I can't wait to create this beauty.
This looks beautiful. You have inspired me to give it a try. Excellent teaching video, clear and precise. Thanks for taking the time to record it.
What's not to like!
Thanks for your patience, and through thoughtfulness❣
Thanks so much. Have the pattern. I have made one 2 years ago . have a special baby coming wanted to make this one. Instruction s are really hard to understand . you made it so much easier for me.I wasted 3days .
Thanks
Brilliant tutorial. The best I've ever seen on this Bavarian stitch. You are succinct but give exactly the the right amount of information and guidance needed to enable us to successfully complete the task. You have excellent, natural, teaching skills. (I am a retired senior lecturer, UK)
Thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge and expertise.
Thank you for the great tutorial!!! Call me crazy, but I love front and back post crochet! Once you do a few stitches, it becomes second nature
Lisa Pevzner same for me! I did an entire Afghan with front & back post dc. It's SO soft. My nephew says " It's like snuggling in a cloud!" ☺
Thank you for this tutorial. I love that you went through enough round repetitions such that it was easy to remember going forward. I practiced with scrap yarn and will be buying yarn for the real deal next week when I get to town.
No no no please don't leave me you are a awesome Teacher I want you to know that I kept going back-and-forth to the video your voice is so soothing thanks again .Lots love
I love the way you do your instructional tutorials. You really go into detail
This was fabulous! Thank you for your time and also for being a great teacher. Love, love, love this stitch pattern! It will be my next project.
Lovely- and thank you so much for the clear tutorial. FYI, I work my tail ends in by looping them in between as I crochet- no mess, no fuss : )
WoW, what a beautiful stitch. I have been crocheting for over 40 years now and never came across a stitch like this. Thank you!!!
My daughter wants a bag for her college binder and wallet. I have been looking for a special stitch and I think this is it. I've had small strokes and have problems following patterns so I will watch this over and over til I get it. Thnx Fiber spider.
Seriously..I love your tutorials. Such a calming voice, so well explained, even for me.. a beginner.. thanks!! 🥰
This is just beyond lovely😍😍😍. And I must say, even thou I am an extremely new crocheter, this tutorial is so wonderfully done by Fiber Spider that I feel confident I could do this pattern👍😉👍😘❤️

At my age of 58 yrs I finally understand the Bavarian stitch by following you! Working on my first blanket using this stitch and the yarn I'm using is Red Heart Ombre in the color Sand.
I love this blanket. Reminds me of stained glass with this yarn.
Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Perfect timing, very calm and I can easily see everything you're doing. This is why I look at yours first to find what I need.
ASMR voice and crochet! I'm in heaven!
When you said you would do 2 more rounds...I salaamed to my screen. Thank you!!!
When the thumbnail of this blanket popped up I thought how pretty , but that's going to be hard to do, then I saw it was by fiber spider, I thought YEAH HE'S THE BEST TUTORIAL TEACHER ON RUclips 💯♥️💯♥️♥️♥️👍✌️
You are the best teacher!! I can count on you to show exactly which stitch the hook goes and you always coach patience, forgiveness and humor! Bless you!
You are one of my favorites I love to watch seems like I do more watching LOL then I actually do crocheting thank you again I truly enjoy watching you
Love how you take the time to teach the steps by step . Lovely video ! 💕
Possibly the best demonstration yet and his ability to bring it to such a comprehensive level makes it a winner for me, fascinating👍👍
I just started crocheting last week and while doing research I came across your channel. I have to say WOW! You do such beautiful work and I love that you go slow enough that I can follow what you're doing.. Even though what you do is way do advanced for me right now I have a lot to look forward to!
Can't wait to start this one...love all your tutorials! Have done a few. I also do both crochet and knitting. Learned how to crochet when I was 7 years old and knitting just a little later. (Portuguese style)
Love it he is so good at explaining & seems so patient I'm going to have a go xx🙋
I'm from Germany living in Ireland and usually translate all the terms as British and American terms are not the same for whatever reason. Here I didn't do it at all. The instruction is so absolutely clear and perfect that you just need to grab your yarn and join in - it works. Hardly saw anything so brilliant before. Thanks a lot!
You have been an inspirational teacher I have studied this video and am now making a blanket , for my bed I am going round and round I have a 4 foot square so far , your explanation of the stitches are wonderful, add a few little mistakes in the beginning but I am there now THANKYOU
Absolutely gorgeous ❤️ definitely gonna give this a try . Thank you for your awesomeness 😊😊😊
I simply love this design.....! Your tutorials are calming to the senses.....:-) ty
healingsprings11 100% agree. His voice reminds me of the same tones that a painter Bob Ross had. Very soothing and calming
Sarah Moon ya he does, love his voice.🇮🇪🇮🇪
I agree. The tutorials are very calming :)
Soo true, i fall sleep ..!! Awesome Tutorial..
Love how soothing and calm he speaks and isn’t going too fast Or Too slow bc that messes me up too! I’m excited to try this… I’ve just immersed myself into knitting and crocheting thanks to YT. Since my gma died and my mom doesn’t know how.. this is the best alternative & I won’t make the mistake with my 3 kids! All daughters too🤭 I’ll pass on the knowledge from this gentleman. I’m late IK but Ty so much for taking the time to teach, post and share🥰🙌🏽👍🏽
I tell you man...you are a very good teacher...the very best there is
Absolutely love this pattern. Great tutorial. Can't wait to get started on this!
I agree with all of you.
This is very beautiful Fiber Spider. I also would appreciate you showing how to make your cool crochet hook handle :-) Please and a big THANK YOU for being you!
polymer clay. There are tons of you tube videos on how to make them. Very easy.
Thank you very much for tutoring and teaching ❤ I like you so much such as a very good teacher because to be difficult finding a good person who teach slowly and understand and now I found you and you are a very good teacher in my heart. I will follow and look your another clip to teach Crochet forever…. Thank you very much again and Take Good Care my nice teacher ❤❤
I so enjoy the patterns you put tutorials. Your detail instructions help me so very much. I can not for the life of me figure out instructions. I've have created my own from around age of 13. I'm 58 now. I have even purchased so many from antique shops to use as patterns. Thank you for this "Crochet For Dummies!"
Dearest Spider Man ... every time you say, "Grab that bar," I keep expecting you to break out in song = "Tote that bale" from the musical SHOWBOAT. I can't help but giggle every time you say it. awwwwwwwww, Hugs

Love your tutoring. I am very interested in the Bavarian Square Blanket. Thank you.
This is beautiful. On any new pattern tutorial, I set my playback speed at 75% on my chromebook, and it helps me to focus on it better...thanks for all your wonderful tutorials.
Love this guy. He is so calm and explains everything. Luv his patterns too. Mine came out perfect. Going to try this one now. Can’t wait to get started.
i love your patterns...when i start my first row i crochet in the hump in the back... it leaves a better looking edge... i have crochet for years but just started doing this not long ago....
Thanks for the tip 😊
Yes! I saw this tip on another channel, just the other day. I did that, and i made my initial row SO much neater looking and easier to do, actually. That initial row is always such a mess for me , so I think this will make a big difference in future work.
I
@@FiberSpider I would love if you could show me how to what this lady is talking about please and thank from hamilton ontario canada

Beautiful..love love it!! Thank you so much, you're such a great teacher.. have a great day ;)

Thank you so much for teaching us how to do this intricate pattern. You are a very patient teacher and it is so easy to follow you. I’m about to try round 6 on my own and if I get stuck I will be right back here. Thank you.
I started out as a very clunky beginner but since watching your tutorials I am now confident to take on a project such as this Bavarian stitch blanket. Thank you for your wonderful explanations and demonstrations. I'm hooked 😉 ( pardon the pun) 😃
Thank you so much, I started years ago to make a Bavarian Blanket and I got bored, because to change every second row with a new color, this was to much for me. How do you make a Bavarian Square Blanket? Could I use this Blanket as a Lapblanket for my Mother ( she is 88 years old) in Germany, and she is always cold..............Again thank you so much When I hear your voice it calms me down and I know I can do it...................Great job.
Very pretty blanket! Thank you! ❤️

Always fond of the old fashioned pineapple pattern... but...this Bavarian stitch has become my new favorite. So extremely lovely. Thank you for wearing out your fingers making sure every stitch is perfectly clear. My first attempt will be using this design as a wide, flowing shawl in a light weight wool and silk blend. This video takes the boredom out of repeat patterns and your work is of course perfection.
I agree totally with the person who said that you are a natural born teacher. You really take the time to make sure your viewers know exactly where to go and what to do with the complicated sections. I can’t wait to check out more of your videos!
