Bless the spider, from all dyslexic and visual kinesthetic learners that want to crochet! I learned the basics as a kid, but couldn't understand written patterns, even into adulthood. I didn't know why until about 20 years later - so I spent that time making the occasional scarf or hat. Discovering youtube crochet along videos was a real game changer, and yours are my favorite! I felt oddly proud when I was able to remember this pattern before the last row. The work you do allows me and plenty of others like me to enjoy an activity we may not be able to do otherwise. Thank you!
@@katherineharris2080 well, so aptly in the spirit of a spider itself it only looks intimidating! But I'm not fooled, I don't think I'd ever figure out the pineapple stitch without video guidance 😊 it's very very much a worthy challenge; you'll find yourself remembering the repeats before you know it! And if you don't, our beloved Arachnid in Chief lets you know exactly where to go for repeats. Much more attainable than it seems... while simultaneously making other casual yarnivores (from personal experience) say, "HOLY F***!" 🤣
I just wanted to thank you for taking time to explain the patterns. Not only do you explain the stitches but you go in depth about the placement and general construction of each pattern. This makes it much easier for me to step back take a look at my work and see where I am. You are a fantastic teacher and you make learning so much fun . I probably would have given up a long time ago if I hadn’t found your channel.
I wanted you to know, last year I made this for a lady whom I hadn’t met (my husband’s aunt’s mother I law) .... she had been a crafter in her life but wasn’t taking care of herself and was getting sick. She was moved into a place with nurses where she could be cared for, I made this shawl for her in a matter of a few days (I found out about her birthday with only days to spare).... I used premier’s sweet roll in mint swirl.... she LOVED IT and I was sent a picture of her with it. She passed away a few weeks later and they buried her with her shawl. I’m so grateful to you and purple iguana. Because of her pattern and your perfect tutorial, I was able to gift a kind lady something of love at the end of her life ❤️
You have amazing teaching skills! You have been the best at explaining how it is done and your personality is fantastic. It really makes it more fun learning with you! I can't wait to finish!
You have taught this old lady so much. I usually don't try anything new but u inspired me. I have made several of your wonderful things ❤ thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕
One of the reasons I crochet is because helps me with mindfulness, and busys my hands while calming my mind. I have watched many tutorials, and I would like you to know how much I am enjoying yours. Your instructions are easy to follow, there is very little chatter, and you have the most soothing voice. You teach very well. I’m a fan.
I self learned over the years and still can't read nor understand written instructions. I've always learned from watching and attempting it myself. Alot of trial and error, but I enjoy learning more techniques and styles . Thank you for your time and video lessons. ❤
Thank you for this one. I was having a bit of a problem grasping the spine of the shawl but I just kept listening to you and going over each step again and again and it clicked....then you wonder how you didn’t get it in the first place....lol. Patience and persistence. Everyone’s brain is different with how they grasp a concept. You’re the best!!!!
I love watching and listening to your blog the only problem is your voice is so comfortable I fall to sleep. This is a compliment. Just live you to bits.
Thank you for explaining the pattern, based on where increases are, and the regular shells are in between, makes this easier to do, without constantly looking at a piece of paper. Love the look of this beautiful shawl and thank you purpleiguana.
You are an amazing teacher of crochet. It's so easy to follow you and actually be able to do a project. I'm working on a waffled baby blanket now. When i get done with it i'm comming back to do one of your shawls. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for all the explaining. I needed every single one of those rows and explanations. I got it now. Another outstanding shawl. Another crystal clear tutorial full of patience!
Thank you so much. I follow your work from Iraq , found it fun to follow tutorials that you download on UA-cam and started crocheting some of them. Thank you،🌸👍
I start on one pattern and then you come up with another beautiful pattern l don't know which one to do first.l love all your work thank you for taking the time to do this. I lost my mom a year ago and watching your videos helps me so much.
Ann Tucker I know exactly what you mean about starting one pattern and then he comes out with another. Basically his video list is my list of to do patterns That being said... I am very sorry to hear about your mother and I hope his videos continue to be a source of comfort for you ❤️
Arlene Bassinder I looove this one. I have two cakes of the premier brand butterscotch pop and I may use that. The colors seem sorta 60s to me✌🏻lol How’s the boomerang scarf coming? I still can’t decide if I should make one cuz I feel like I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to wear it 😂
I’m beyond in love with your patterns! I finished the virus blanket and now doing the virus shawl. Your the best! Adore your videos! Keep up the great designs! Thank you.
I just found this tutorial! I love, love, love this stitch/pattern. Thank you for explaining as you go, and for going slow enough for me to easily follow along. This is exactly the pattern I was hoping to find to create a draping collar. I can’t wait to see what else you have made. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 😊
I love this pattern soooo much. But I do not need another shawl. So I played around a little bit with it and I am currently in the process of making a square blanket. Thank you for make it so easy to understand patterns, it has giving me the confidence to think outside of the box and experiment a little bit.
Lynda, thank you so much! I don't know how much of me offering my patterns for free is kindness and how much is laziness. I think it mostly started because I don't really consider myself a designer so much as a person who has made a thing and hopefully I explained it well enough in case others might want to make it too. Writing patterns is the bane of my existence, which is probably a good part of why simplicity is my thing. I prefer charts to written patterns, but I don't have access to charting software, so all my patterns are "crudely drawn." No one tests them... there's no sort of professional polish to them. I guess under those circumstances, I don't see much point in charging for them. Not to mention how it might complicate my taxes. Although, I do have one pattern that someone told me I would be kicking myself for not charging for, and they were right--it's at almost 15,000 downloads... YIKES! Missed opportunities, maybe. But oh well. It is what it is. :)
And I thank you for your great patterns! Your work combines simplicity with elegance and it is a joy for me to try to share it the best that I can! Thank you! 😊☕🕸🕷
Thank you both I am a visual learner I am dyslexic So reading patterns is hard for me have a lot going on so crochet is my Escape it really does help so really thank you
Such a nice pattern, I grabbed the wrong pattern I was working on, so I frogged n started this. You have a perfect pace, so I didn’t need to pause or rewind too much. I’ll have to watch for other patterns with you.
Making this right now in Mandala colorway Spirit, and it's beautiful! I've also started the Argyle scarf you just uploaded today and finishing the lace diamonds blanket for a baby. Thank you for your videos, and thank you purpleiguana for this pattern! I think I have made every shawl except for the lakeside shawl and the trellis&fan shawl. I make them and then donate them to someone who might be going through a rough time, alone, or sick. I consider them a prayer shawl as I pray for the person I am making it for. Your Diamonds & lace shawl is currently on it's way to Texas to a woman with Alzheimer's. Thanks again!
Dear fiber spider. crocheting your seaside shawl right now in a 3 ply yarn. have made lots of your shawls. Thank you! For all you do. You teach with a soft voice and Manor. You go slowly and explain why you do something. Norma Stufflebean. In Arizona
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this tutorial. I never learned how to read written patterns, so tutorials like this help so much for learning new patterns.
I’ve only done 2 shawls before…one ages ago the went from the bottom up and and edging was done at the same time…l loved the look. The second was your virus shawl with the neckline cut out…can’t remember the lovely name you had for it and it sits so lovely on shoulders. I was going to do the granny with neck line now, but as a relatively new newbie I thought I’d have a look through all your shawls and saw this one and love that it has the boarder…..as it’s a Christmas present I thought is just do this one instead. I would love for it to have the neckline but I don’t think I could work out how to do it. Thank you for so many choices.
Fiber Spider. Thank you for this pattern. I love it and would have never made it without your video. I looked at the pattern and I swear that doesn't say what you showed. LOL I am on my 2nd shawl for charity using this pattern. A tip that helped me quit tripping on that 3rd row repeat............put a stitch marker on the expanded shell stitch spot on the spine of the shawl. This way, you will just feel where that spot needs to be instead of having to go back and look at all the rows so closely. (I ripped out the spine spot many times on the first shawl due to not being able to 'see' the change was needed.
You are an awesome teacher! I just bought some Mandala ombre yarn that I'm going to use to follow along with this tutorial. I think it's going to be beautiful! Thanks so much! 💕
Love the simplicity of this... and the way it flows out from the center. Thanks for doing and finding this one! Purple Iguana is quickly becoming one of my favorites. :)
Beginning this, like beginning most things, was really confusing for me! Thanks for breaking this down, I'm at a point it's all jiving. Thanks so much for this, your videos at soooo helpful, and NEVER redundant!!
Thank you for this tutorial, I live in the England UK, an was eager to start this today, so found some StyleCraft special DK in me stash, in Colour Bluebell, using 5mm hook, love it. had to replay a few times to lock down pattern to memory muscle. will be making this in many colours for prayer Shawls for my Church to gift to those who need a warm hug. many thanks Fiber Spider. God Bless.
Hi there mr Spider-Man I m nearly finished the seaside shawl and can’t wait to start the virus meets granny shawl and be tutored by you because you’re so clear with your instructions.
Just found your tutorials, and am working on this shawl. Your voice is so soothing & thank you for staying with us through the tutorial, not just after a few rounds. This worked up beautifully and will make the perfect gift. Thank you so much!
I started making a second shawl using one of your other patterns and decided to switch to this one. I found that if I place a stitch marker on the row where the lower edge increases are done it helps me keep track of where I am.
I am new to crochet. Have been looking for an easy shawl and this looks perfect! Hope so anyway. Will come back after my morning chores and work along with you. Thank you so much. It's so pretty!
Hello Keeping me company while I recuperate from an op. Really wanted to make a shawl for myself and my friend too and so here we are. I am making the seaside shawl and really enjoying it think its clicking hahaha but will go back 3 rows on video just to be sure its lovely. I did try the cloister shawl but have put that to the side for now as I was having difficulty when the video ended. This one I have taken off with and I am sure will help with the cloister shawl or (my friend has already done that one). Great video tutorials and lovely to meet you. Josephine I have also seen you with your dream catcher shawl which is really nice.
I love this one too !! Spider... You've created a list of "I'm going to create this" for me !! Thank you !! Love your tutorials. Makes it so easy for an old gal like me, just starting my latest addiction!! Lol !!
I can't say enough how I love your tutorials. They're to the point, easy to follow, and you have a clear voice that isn't rushed or too slow. I just finished the Granny Virus Shawl, perfect, altered it into a blanket and it's lovely. Wouldn't have been able to figure it out if you didn't have such awesome vids. Only thing is I had to start with the magic circle. ^^; It was too tight for me to get it with the three chain method.
When I started this I was confused with the middle so I finally got an idea and put a marker on it three rows down so I can figure out what I am have to do I am not finished yet but I am really enjoying the pattern now that I understand the middle... and you give so many details with the patterns which is great for me since I don't read patterns very well... I was wondering how long it should be but I listened to the beginning of the instructions and got it...I make a lot of shawls so I am always looking for new ones and I have picked up quite a few of yours.. the one I love the most is virus meets granny I am a favorite of granny ... thank you for taking the time to do these especially for people like me who are not trying to learn to read pattern and why should I . I have you to show me. God Bless
First let me say.....💓 LOVE 💓all of your tutorials!!!! I sometimes listen to them while driving to work (not watched, just listening!) I'm going to use this stitch to make a baby afghan using a 3 weight and maybe a G hook.
Love it! Thank you to take your time to teach us the pattern till it is well understood! Next proyect in my list to make. Thank you again for your tutorials,you are the ONE AND ONLY CROCHET MASTER!!!
So proud of this shaw!! My second one. I am sure I made a couple of mistakes but can't see it in this patteren. I love it!!!! ❤️ wish I could share my pic of it.
Love this! I'm making one now with Malabrigo Rios and a size J hook. This pattern shows off the colors and the stitches pop. Off I go to listen to you read Jane Austen to me. Thank you so much for what you do.
Fiber Spider, You are officially my new go-to for crochet tutorials. You made this SO easy to follow, and you sound like you really enjoy making the videos. It makes me happy to follow along. I am now excitedly crocheting a shawl for my grandmother. (This will be my first shawl!)
Thank you for taking the time to post these videos. I just finished two of the virus meets granny shawls for my great nieces and am working on the lace embrace for their mother my niece. I am scouting to see which one I want to make next.
I was like "nooooooo" when the video was over. :D I just love all your tutorials, you teached me how to do the virus shawl, and now I have made almost 10 and loving it. I always check your videos first if I want to start on another crochet project. Now I am on this one, and it is just so tranquilizing and relaxing to follow your video, without actually looking at it, just hearing your soothing voice explaining the pattern. :) Please take your time to make a full-lengther, maybe a whole evening! I would love sitting in the couch with a glass of red wine and crocheting to your videos. :D Love your work, keep it up! Greetings from an ice cold Norway!
I just found you while I was browsing . I just happened to have Red Heart Super Saver Ombre in Sea Coral....perfect for this shawl. Thank you, your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. Liked the video and subscribed. 😀
Thanks for doing this video. I was trying to follow the written pattern but ended up totally confused, when in fact it’s easy peasy, lemon squeezy 😀 Thank you.
I love the timestamps Fiber Spider! Thank you so much for including those. It's very helpful when having to go back to a different row! You're the best! :-)
Another beautiful shawl! Oh how I wish you had DVD’s available to buy of several shawl tutorials (and other projects). These would make such nice gifts for people who don’t have UA-cam😊
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Maverick Mohammad i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Love your videos! Very clear and easy to follow tutorials. This shawl was exactly what I was looking for after a looong search! Thanks and keep them coming.
Making this with Red Heart Colorscape in the colorway Rome. I am calling it Seaside in Autumn. Had a bit of confusion when I first started it (at like, 2 am), but once I figured it out, it flew into the making. I made just a cowl, but I really like this pattern
Lovely tutorial! If I had started to crochet this just from a written pattern I would have been in a head-scratching mode! Working along with you made the whole thing a doddle to do. Thank you!

Yes he is a wonderful teacher and has such patience without making you feel stupid I love him
@@katherineharris2080 truly so! Almost a year later since I wrote this comment, and currently I'm on part 5 of the pineapple shawl 🤣 Fiber 🕷 forever 🖤
@@paran0id_human0id that's great I am afraid to try lol
@@katherineharris2080 well, so aptly in the spirit of a spider itself it only looks intimidating!

Thanks for making the pattern easier to understand for those if us who are pattern challenged.
I love watching and listening to your blog the only problem is your voice is so comfortable I fall to sleep. This is a compliment. Just live you to bits.
Thank you for explaining the pattern, based on where increases are, and the regular shells are in between, makes this easier to do, without constantly looking at a piece of paper. Love the look of this beautiful shawl and thank you purpleiguana.
You are an amazing teacher of crochet. It's so easy to follow you and actually be able to do a project. I'm working on a waffled baby blanket now. When i get done with it i'm comming back to do one of your shawls. Thank you for all you do.

Arlene Bassinder I looove this one. I have two cakes of the premier brand butterscotch pop and I may use that. The colors seem sorta 60s to me✌🏻lol
How’s the boomerang scarf coming? I still can’t decide if I should make one cuz I feel like I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to wear it 😂
I listened to this while working on another pattern shawl (a granny stitch. I just learned how to do it) and honestly your voice is so soothing.

Hi there mr Spider-Man I m nearly finished the seaside shawl and can’t wait to start the virus meets granny shawl and be tutored by you because you’re so clear with your instructions.
only took 6 times but i finally got past the 7th row. this is a great pattern for us beginners..
Really enjoy your tutorials. Love your voice and excellent explanation of stitches etc. Why you are not sponsored is beyond me! Ty for all you do sir
Starting my 5th or 6th shawl, have given them as gifts, and can't remember. Thanks again!💖😍😘
Just found your tutorials, and am working on this shawl. Your voice is so soothing & thank you for staying with us through the tutorial, not just after a few rounds. This worked up beautifully and will make the perfect gift. Thank you so much!

I am new to crochet. Have been looking for an easy shawl and this looks perfect! Hope so anyway. Will come back after my morning chores and work along with you. Thank you so much. It's so pretty!
Hello
Keeping me company while I recuperate from an op.
Really wanted to make a shawl for myself and my friend too and so here we are.
I am making the seaside shawl and really enjoying it think its clicking hahaha but will go back 3 rows on video just to be sure its lovely.
I did try the cloister shawl but have put that to the side for now as I was having difficulty when the video ended. This one I have taken off with and I am sure will help with the cloister shawl or (my friend has already done that one).
Great video tutorials and lovely to meet you.
Josephine
I have also seen you with your dream catcher shawl which is really nice.
I love this one too !! Spider... You've created a list of "I'm going to create this" for me !! Thank you !! Love your tutorials. Makes it so easy for an old gal like me, just starting my latest addiction!! Lol !!
Love you and all the work you do for us.
I enjoyed making this shawl. You make crocheting fun and easy. Thanks
very nice. I need to listen to your voice when I can't sleep at night. You're voice is very soothing for me :) I found myself yawning :)
Such a beautiful pattern. Enjoy your tutorials so much. You are a very good teacher!!
I can't say enough how I love your tutorials. They're to the point, easy to follow, and you have a clear voice that isn't rushed or too slow. I just finished the Granny Virus Shawl, perfect, altered it into a blanket and it's lovely. Wouldn't have been able to figure it out if you didn't have such awesome vids. Only thing is I had to start with the magic circle. ^^; It was too tight for me to get it with the three chain method.
Such a lovely, but tricky shawl pattern...I'm using Redheart violet ombre yarn and it's looking exquisite! Thank you!😄
When I started this I was confused with the middle so I finally got an idea and put a marker on it three rows down so I can figure out what I am have to do I am not finished yet but I am really enjoying the pattern now that I understand the middle... and you give so many details with the patterns which is great for me since I don't read patterns very well... I was wondering how long it should be but I listened to the beginning of the instructions and got it...I make a lot of shawls so I am always looking for new ones and I have picked up quite a few of yours.. the one I love the most is virus meets granny I am a favorite of granny ... thank you for taking the time to do these especially for people like me who are not trying to learn to read pattern and why should I . I have you to show me. God Bless
First let me say.....💓 LOVE 💓all of your tutorials!!!! I sometimes listen to them while driving to work (not watched, just listening!)
I'm going to use this stitch to make a baby afghan using a 3 weight and maybe a G hook.
I really love your videos. I just wish that they were a full length video it would really help a lot for beginners
Love it! Thank you to take your time to teach us the pattern till it is well understood! Next proyect in my list to make. Thank you again for your tutorials,you are the ONE AND ONLY CROCHET MASTER!!!

So proud of this shaw!! My second one. I am sure I made a couple of mistakes but can't see it in this patteren. I love it!!!! ❤️ wish I could share my pic of it.
Thank you so much for sharing and teaching!!! May God bless you
WOW you are the best. I have completed many of your patterns.
Love this! I'm making one now with Malabrigo Rios and a size J hook. This pattern shows off the colors and the stitches pop. Off I go to listen to you read Jane Austen to me. Thank you so much for what you do.
Fiber Spider, You are officially my new go-to for crochet tutorials. You made this SO easy to follow, and you sound like you really enjoy making the videos. It makes me happy to follow along. I am now excitedly crocheting a shawl for my grandmother. (This will be my first shawl!)
Thank you for taking the time to post these videos. I just finished two of the virus meets granny shawls for my great nieces and am working on the lace embrace for their mother my niece. I am scouting to see which one I want to make next.
YOU are a WONDERFUL TEACHER❣️‼️❣️
Just wanted to let you know that I am making this shawl. Thank you so much for showing me how to do it. I will send you a pic when I’m finished.

Your explanations are so easy to follow, thank you!
I love this shawl! I’m half way done with another one of yours then I’ll start this one❤

You are such a wonderful teacher! Love your explanations and the way you show and explain everything so carefully. Thanks for being you!!
I was like "nooooooo" when the video was over. :D I just love all your tutorials, you teached me how to do the virus shawl, and now I have made almost 10 and loving it. I always check your videos first if I want to start on another crochet project. Now I am on this one, and it is just so tranquilizing and relaxing to follow your video, without actually looking at it, just hearing your soothing voice explaining the pattern. :) Please take your time to make a full-lengther, maybe a whole evening! I would love sitting in the couch with a glass of red wine and crocheting to your videos. :D Love your work, keep it up! Greetings from an ice cold Norway!
love this pattern but I LOVE all your tutorials and I have crochet all the shawls so far.
I just found you while I was browsing . I just happened to have Red Heart Super Saver Ombre in Sea Coral....perfect for this shawl. Thank you, your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. Liked the video and subscribed. 😀
You are an amazing teacher...Love this.
I just finished a shawl using this pattern. Thanks
Such an awesome teacher. I am going to dig in my yarn now and start thi
Thanks once again. Your videos are such a blessing. You make them understandable, and easy to follow for a old gal like me...haha
My shawl worked up beautifully, thank you for this tutorial.i used Vardhaman millennium yarn with a H hook
Thanks for doing this video. I was trying to follow the written pattern but ended up totally confused, when in fact it’s easy peasy, lemon squeezy 😀 Thank you.
Viele, vielen Dank , für die wunderbare sal!🌺
Love it just finished the virus meets granny with easy step to follow looking forward to doing this one:)
Now I've watched nearly all of your crochet videos and have a renewed love for Caron Cakes. Got four today 😊
On my way to purchase yarn for this pattern. Beautiful. I cannot wait to try this. I am totally new, but I think I am going to jump on in. Thank you.
l agree with Ann Tucker ....beautiful patterns and easy to follow along thank you so much
I love the timestamps Fiber Spider! Thank you so much for including those. It's very helpful when having to go back to a different row! You're the best! :-)
Another beautiful shawl! Oh how I wish you had DVD’s available to buy of several shawl tutorials (and other projects). These would make such nice gifts for people who don’t have UA-cam😊
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

Thank u. V clear instructions. Will start one as soon as I go buy e yarn. Just did a sampler👍
I love this shawl ❤so pretty ❤Thank you so much!!!
Making this with Red Heart Colorscape in the colorway Rome. I am calling it Seaside in Autumn. Had a bit of confusion when I first started it (at like, 2 am), but once I figured it out, it flew into the making. I made just a cowl, but I really like this pattern
It’s beautiful the way you made it, thank you. I already have the pattern, printed for a while now!
Lovely tutorial! If I had started to crochet this just from a written pattern I would have been in a head-scratching mode! Working along with you made the whole thing a doddle to do. Thank you!
Great pattern, will make a few.. God Bless ☺️
thank you so very much for all you do for us..you make it so easy to follow you much love to you
