FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
-What equipment do you use?

Pattern repeat: R1 10:50, R2 15:23, R3 18:48, R4 21:34 ❤ love your tutorial thank you!
You are very welcome :)
@@bellacococrochet I get page not found for the written pattern. How can I get it?
@@liezeltaylor7838 I can’t find it either! 😭
May I ask a wee question- if I've completed the video as far as it takes me, do I go back to R1 as per your time stamp? Thank you!
@@emmagarvie907 yes, that’s what you do.
Am playing catch-up from Texas. I love your background for your videos. So pretty! The shawl is beautiful! The granny squares are mindless......easy and don't have to read a pattern. I love that type of pattern. Thank you so much for showing and telling everything. Can't wait to see all the finished programs. Today is the 4th of July, 2021. Happy Birthday America! 🇺🇸.
Thank you and enjoy your 4th July celebrations :)
I just finished my first virus shawl. The instruction in this video is wonderful! Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
This will be my next project, just watched part of this and wanted to say your a good teacher. You explain it very well. I would like to see what other projects/tutorials you do.
I made this shawl last year so made all my friends one as well... I was lucky the nuns taught me to crochet holding the hook like a pen and doing the tension round my little finger and over through other fingers that way you get the tension correct. I also don;t get sore wrists or fingers either..
The yarn is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for the post!❤
You are very welcome :)
Roughly how much Caberet, for a decent size shawl please?
Thank you for your fantastic tutorials. So easy to follow and you explain yourself so well. Really appreciate the effort you put in to helping others with their crochet. 😇😍
I thought this was going to be really complicated and had I tried to read a pattern I probably wouldn't have got it, your videos are so easy to follow so thank you
You're very welcome 🙂
You are a great teacher - so happy to have found you xxx
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing, I love watching your videos, you explain things very well.
Hi,this is my first comment on RUclips.lI am from India.I just love your voice andyour way of teaching,I have just finished the virus shawl,looks amazing
Thank you :)
I really like how you explain so well & then demonstrate( so we are learning in 3 ways- visual, verbal & physical) perfect for all to learn well! I like how you show us the finished work & explain what you’re doing relates back to what will be completed!
You're very welcome :)
For years I have stuck to granny squares and was getting a little bored. I saw the written pattern but was really intimidated by it and couldn't get it at all. I watched your video and felt confident enough to have a go at this today. You make it so simple. I have mastered it to the end and it has clicked in my brain! Thank you so much.
thank you for this tutorial it is so easy to follow - i have now mastered the virus shawl!
i can follow this easily but would prefer written pattern. i cannot find it on any links or from internet. please advise thanks
I do love how you include the US terms in your videos. Thank you.
Your videos re so easy to follow even my husband doesn't object when I stream it from our TV - he says he's almost tempted to start crocheting himself!
lol, you should give him a hook and tell him to get started :)
Get him going!! My husband and I sit and crochet together. It is an easy excuse to buy more yarn.
Encourage him! Then you can bond over crochet! Also he won’t complain about the yarn stash…
You are such a good teacher.... Love your tutorials😍 can you please teach circle afghan blanket??
all i need is the written pattern. This is so frustrating.
I too love all your tutorials and have recommended you to so many people who want to learn how to crochet🤗 is there a written pattern for this project.? 🤔
The link to the written pattern can be found in the description box underneath the video, however for your convenience here is the link:- www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/virus-shawl--virustuch I hope this helps :)
Thank you for the really clear instructions, the pulling at the stitches to clarify where to stich was really helpful..
Is there a link to the pattern? The one listed is not working. Thank you!
I can’t believe how early your tutorial is
Hi thanks for the video I need some advice please when I started my virus shawl I thought it was a baby shawl (brain mush moment) so now I'm wondering do I keep going changing to mint green, or do I make another one in mint green and sew them together to make a square. it's is only one ball of wool used so far thanks
Im obsessed with this pattern. I'm working this pattern into a blanket and it's turning out amazing! I love how you explain the process and make it so simple to follow!
Thank you for a great tutorial you have explained a beautifully ❤️❤️
I'm from the U.S and because I watch your videos all the time I say treble and people get so confused! lolI love all your tutorials I started 2 weeks ago and always come to you for the tutorials!
Bella -Your video is outstanding. After attempting to try to follow the pattern without any success, I watched your video and it was so clear and concise. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I'm now on my way to completing the virus shawl. You explained it so well.
I can't find this yarn. I have looked everywhere. Can you suggest a yarn here in US that I can buy. This is too pretty to buy regular yarn but I can't find anything that matches up to yours I don't want to waste my money on yarn that won't give the same or near same look. I am on a strict budget so I can't afford to make a mistake Thank you for your help. And teaching me to crochet
I sell it in my store. www.bellacocostore.com I'm not sure about US stores sorry xx
Is there somewhere we can post pics of our finished works? (the ones we used your tutorial to help us) :-)
I have about 60 rows done. Looks beautiful, I used a two ply yarn . What is a good round to finish , the double crochet chain one?
Martha Miller yes treble chain one row that's what I done
Nice.Thank you.
YARN is DSCONTINUED. Where to get your pattern? Its not at revelry or your shopsite. where to obtain it? I love your tutorials and want to make this for my grand daughter. TY
Your tutorials are some of the best I have found!! You are so clear and easy to follow, and I love that you explain the difference between the British stitch terms and American stitch terms. Thank you so much. I can think of a couple stitches I would LOVE to see you make tutorials one. Off the top of my head, a couple of the Crochet Flower Stitches and the Crochet Cable Stitch would be amazing :-)
Thank you so much for showing this. I've made four shawls and four rectangular blankets. Everyone loves them!
Thank you so much, I've been giving this pattern the side eye for a while but now I feel like I can actually do it. Great tutorial, very clear :)
I am working on this shawl for the 2nd time and just love it. Why is it called the virus shawl? Yours is gorgeous!❤❤❤
Thank you , I really don't have any idea why its called a virus shawl however I was also curious so I googled it and here is the answer I got :- "Presumably it's called a Virus Shawl because for every complete set of rows you crochet, the width of the shawl goes up exponentially, similar to a population of viruses every time they divide" :)
I'm so glad you left a link for the yarn, I really want to try this now. I need to make a list of projects to keep track of everything... XD
Thank you!!! Great job teaching! I'm working on my FIRST EVER shawl now!! I thought it would be harder to do but you gave very good instructions and now i feel confident i can finish this on my own!
Thank you!! Easy to follow tutorial, and I didn't need your "extra help"one !! I also found a graph on Pinterest which matches your stitch count so I have that printed out as a referral.
.
Your Tutorials are exceptional. I was wondering if you have the instructions written in a pattern form that I can carry with me when I can't view on You Tube.
Thank so much. The written pattern is linked int he description box :)
Bella Coco
I'm busting at the seems here !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, so, so much..I have wanting to do this Virus Shawl for over a year now. You explain it so well !!!!!!!!!!!. I have got it down pat now🎇✨🌌🌠😉 You are such a gem. Thank you , for your time
hi Kathy...please may I ask where you got the pattern from because I can't seem to find the pattern anywhere 😯
Awwww thank you for the link Kathy much appreciated xxx
💐
Denise Joly
Kathy ,love this video but please could you tell me where to get the written pattern from as I'm not able to keep up with you . I would really appreciate it . Thank you so much. Please keep doing your videos they are really helpful. I've been looking for a written pattern for a long time and now I've seen you do it I think I could have a go . Thankyou X
😀💕💕
How to buy this yarn?
Wow, I just finished this with a bit of edging of my own and I absolutely love it! Thanks again for an amazing tutorial. I am off to try to make a matching C2C throw to go with it. I think I am actually starting to like living in Northern Alberta so I can make all these warm items!!
Please post a pic of your edging :)
How many skeins or yards does this take?
I'm from America, Indiana actually and I have learned to crochet with UK Terms. LOL
Pppoyhh
i have the exact same scissors as you!
the link to the written pattern does not work. :(
It's a lovely pattern.
How many balls of this yarn did you use?
ive been crocheting literally a few weeks. ive made a beanie for my unborn baby after unpicking it about 50 times! im currently nearly finished a granny stitch blanket which is turning out lovely. i am in love with this yarn! its gorgeous. i think this could be my next project. as i say i am a beginner and keep all my failed attempts at projects but perseverance is definately key! that and a good teacher! i love your videos youre so very talented. :)
Mazel tov on your new little blessing
I love again this is my second one
Hi Bella Coco..I just love your tutorials n this shawl looks grrt..roughly how many balls of yarn did you use to make your one? Keep up the good work..Many thanks Margaret
Hi Bella, How many balls of yarn does the Virus shawl take and what is the finished measurement. Do you offer written instructions. Do you know how long it would take to get the yarn to me in California, USA? Thanks...love your "how to's"...they are really inviting.
overall consensus is that it takes 2-3 depending on what yarn you use. The written instruction link is in the description box. postage usually takes up to 7 days once sent :) x
The Virus shawl shows up in my recommendations just as the corona virus is spreading across Europe and is in the US. Wow. What timing.....
Hahaha, the only reason i have time for _this_ virus is because of *that* virus!
@@asterism343 I am home anyway but as of now everyone else in this household has to work at home or get their schooling at home. So I have a houseful. Won't be quite as easy to get projects done.
I wonder if there's an Omicron Shawl? 🤔
Could you please tell me the color of the yarn that you used? This is beautiful :)
I was doing ok until about 23:30 of the video. I think if you had said how many chain 4 spaces should be in this row, it may have helped. You said there is a 'dip' at the center, but by making 10 db and 10 db altogether across the top of the last round, I lost my 'dip' and didn't know where to go.
In the part of the video you mention there should be three chain four spaces, two chain seven spaces, and another three chain four spaces. It can be quite a tricky pattern to follow - I do have another video with extra help that you might want to take a look at: ecs.page.link/EHvKL 🙂
your virus shawl tutorial is awsam i like it v.very much and your way of showing how to that is so clear to me.thnx dear for sharing such a lovely tutorial ☺☺☺
Jhimly Das
Sorry to bother you, but the written pattern just now says 404- not found any time I try to find it. I've been dying to continue, but it's hard to do without video and pdf
Same here - I've completed as far as the video goes and currently have a shawl large enough for my cat. I have NO idea how to carry on from here!
Thank you so much... I have not followed a video like this before. Very easy to follow... cannot wait to get a mixture of yarn now and really get going. Thanks for your time.. :D
What is the best way to finish the shall (and the blanket) once you have reached the length you want?
I love your videos! I've learned to crochet from your videos and I'm so excited to make my first wearable item!
HI! i love all your crochet tutorials especially your choice of colors!
Will you make a tutorial on doilies? please, thank you!
Hello! I shall add your request to the list :) x
+Bella Coco thank you so much!!!
Bella Coco kristinabogdanova/202
I love the video but my internet is so limited I keep running out trying to watch it and do it, I have to repeat over and over again till I get it right. So could you send me a link or a written pattern I can't seem to find it? Thank you so much.
You show it beautiful I realy need to ask how many bundles of wool of 50gms each I will need for an adult shawl I'm in India
Thank you 😊 It does depend on how big you want the shawl to be, but I used two to three 100g balls of double knit yarn to make mine.
Love your color choices in all your crochet tutorials! Would love to see a poncho tutorial. Thank you for making such clear tutorials.
hi I absolutely love Bella coco and your tutorials. Could you maybe do one for the size of a bed? Thanks and plz keep making awesome videos!!😀
I've been planning on making a Virus Shawl for a while, but haven't had the confidence to try. Your tutorials are so clear and simple to understand that I'm actually going to finally give it a go! Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm so excited to get started now!! Thank you Thank you Thank you! 😊💕
:) xx
Me too... I've been putting it off thinking I can't do it. thanks for the video
Bella Coco I would like for you to click on the link you posted and see if you received the same message as me. Never had this happen before.
Wonderful tutorial! I am making mine in storm blue, duck egg blue and lime.
Thank you so much for such an easy to follow along video. Your video is so easy to understand and follow along. I tried to make the virus shawl by using the pattern but then had a hard time understanding it. So I decided to watch the video and I'm so glad I did. I only have a few rounds made but my virus shawl is coming right along. I'll be doing a little more each day. That way I can keep up with knitting a pair of socks for my husband and a knitted cap with Norwegian designs for my husbands brother. Lots to do to get ready for Christmas. So I have to work everything in. Puff Puff
please do this in a blanket.
please.
I like how you explain as you go. I have been crocheting for 45 yrs and still need to go slow
Thank you :)
Excellent video. I started a rectangular virus afghan some time back. I was reading the pattern and eventually, just set it aside. It was turning out, it was just puckery. Following your instructions was a breeze. I'm very happy with your teaching skills and overall quality of your video. Thank You.
I have made 10 of these (so far) for friends and family and the orders keep coming. Love the Style Craft yarns, too.
Hello there, I am looking for the written pattern to this lovely shawl. Each time I click on the link to the written pattern it shows the chart. Can anyone help me please?
Hi June The written pattern can be found here:- www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/virus-shawl---virustuch :)
Thank you for the video. You do a very good job of explaining everything.
I dont think I've ever actually commented on ANYTHING on youtube, but I just had to say thank you for this great video! You explain everything very clearly, the yarn you are using has just the right amount of colour change that it helps us see the definition between stitches and rows. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this to help us out :)
Can anyone please tell me how much yarn is required to do this shawl? Grams and yards please.. I have four balls currently.. each on is 502 yards, or 459 M, or 200 grams.
Will I have enough yard if Im using 5 mm hook?
On the diagram pattern it doesn't show the DC on top of the 4 CH space in row 7. I made one shawl like that then watched your video again and saw that you do make a dc in that space. I have made another 3 shawls your way and it looks much better. Thanks again. Absolutely loves the pattern.
Thank you.....you make this so much easier than some patterns which can be difficult to understand if you are fairly new to crocheting.
Thanks for sharing this video. You have a fabulous way of explaining the pattern. I agree with the positive preceeding comments. :)
I am so glad I found this! I've been looking everywhere for this pattern and you did a fantastic job with your tutorial. I love how your fingernails matches the yarn.
Thank you for the video. You did a marvellous job. I think there's an error in the written pattern. It doesn't say to join with SC to the 1 4ch loop but your video shows it. It looks so much better with that join & so floppy without it. I'm off & running & well on my way to finishing my first shawl. Great job!
Umbrellatoo I realize your comment was made three years ago but I wanted to respond anyway. 🙂 I made my first virus shawl using a diagram and the sc in the one chain 4 was not included anywhere. I think it was intentionally left off and I’ve seen other videos here on RUclips where it’s not included. For myself, it’s not so much about how it looks as I don’t care for that “big leap” over that one chain four. I like to keep things tight and it’s just a pain trying to do that without that single crochet as an anchor. I’ve been crocheting over 45 years so I feel that I’m capable I just don’t like to do it. LOL Anyway, I’ve made two virus shawls now, one with that sc and one without and the difference is negligible. I intend to use an sc in that one chain four on future shawls as it’s just more enjoyable for me to crochet the pattern that way. 😊
You have taught me 4 new stitches and 2 new borders and I THANK you so much. I love ALL your tutorials. Keep up the AWESOME job.
Thanks so much x
Sherrie McGraw .beginners crochet
Not sure what you mean by beginners crochet? I've been crocheting now for 40 years and am just learning new stitches via RUclips, but Thanks any way.
Would it be too much to ask for you to do a tutorial on filet crochet? I've looked at other people's videos and I just don't completely understand it and I thought you would be the best person to explain it better.
Fiber Spider has a which way filet that is super easy
My yarn is coming today. I've only made granny squares, so this will be my first "project". I can't wait to get started.
Let me know how you get on :)
Beautiful is there a written pattern somewhere?
Hi, The link is in the description box.
Thank you for your tutorials. I have learnt so much. X
You are very welcome :)
Thanks so much for this fab video, I'm making this in Merino wool and its turning out lovely.
The crochet tutorials are great. Any chance of getting written instructions to go along with the tutorial? Very well explained.
Hi, I’ve been looking for a shawl pattern and this looks perfect. I’ve looked at some other tutorials on you tube and some comments say the instructions are wrong and they have had to undo their work after following the tutorial. I think it’s a credit to you that your followers trust you an invest a lot of time following your instructions and creating some beautiful and worthwhile projects. I appreciate your professionalism and you are my go to person. Credit where it’s due
Such a gorgeous pattern. I have never made a shawl before. It is keeping the pattern straight. But I am going to try. Thank you for the demonstration 😊
soooooo easy and soooo nicly explained, thank you
You're very welcome :)
I can not thank you enough for your tutorial. I have been wanting to make a virus shawl for a very long time. Due to my dyslexic issues, I was struggling. Your tutorial made it all possible. I am well on my way to completing a gorgeous shawl. I am delighted and could not have done it without you!! :)
This video was a great help as I am a beginner and this is my fist time crocheting this style, the video was an amazing help and so easy to follow. I am not going to keep going and will put up a photo on facebook page to show what I have done. Thank you so much. xx
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the 'Extra Help' one as well. I've been wanting to make this shawl for a while now and just reading the pattern and looking at the chart scared the be-geezers out of me!! You've made it so easy to understand and I can watch each part over again when I need a little nudge to remember what to do next.
Hello, maybe I should just forget trying to do the virus shawl, but...
I started following the video and I'm so frustrated. You put 20 stitches in the circle you make to start, then you chain 3 and that's suppose to be 1 st stitch and you put one stitch in every stitch around and last one stitch in your 1st ch 3. That is 21 right? I followed video for the first and second row and I get 21. Help what am I missing or doing wrong. Hoping you can help. Thank you
I had troubles too at first but I looked at the chart your first row should have 20 stitches in total (including the ch 3). She is counting the ch 3 as her first stitch. So crochet 19 trebles (19 dc's) after the ch 3, Hope this helps.
Donna Hughes Hi chain 3 counts as a dc
I love your stuff and your tutorials... You make it as I feel I could ACTUALLY do it. You're beyond awesome... I love you!
Totally agree, Bella is amazing xx
Just finished this shawl, made it as a Christmas present for my sister. Took me multiple watches of your tutorial but after it finally sunk in was so easy to do. Thank you so much for posting this.
I have tried to follow someone else's tutorial and my work ended up looking like a dogs breakfast. I just couldn't get it to work until I found your tutorial. Your tutorials are excellent. You explain instructions very well. Very easy to follow along. Thank you so much as I have wanted to do this pattern and was becoming very frustrated. xx
Hi, I love the yarn used for the shawl. What are the finished dimensions of the shawl?
Couldn't find the yarn. Found the site hard to navigate.
Like your video!
