I'm 62 and I learned knitting when I was a teenager and I've knitted since then, even occasionally because I was employed for over 40 years. But now that I'm retired and I have plenty of time I dedicate myself to do different things because the doctor told me to keep my mind wide open to learn different things! As a person who dislikes routines, that advice is a like a child's play and I'm loving to learn the diagonal knitting! Thanks for teaching!!!!Oh, and I live in Brazil. Thanks ,UA-cam!
Thank you for this video!!! I was in a yarn shop in Phoenix (on a trip) and saw a Multidirectional scraf. I bought yarn, and she shared the pattern. When I got back home, I was having trouble, and you saved me! Great video! Again thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your explanation is clear and simple. Your stitches are so even and lovely! I learned to knit 13 years ago & have loved it ever since! I want to make a candy cane stripe scarf using this technique. I am just dreading the color changes! Thank you again! BEAUTIFUL work!
The most beautiful project you have ever done! Knitting on the needles are a primary, yet common thing, as seen on the other tutorials in which there scarves, shawls, and cawls were made. But diagonal garter stitches made from those needles.......AMAZING! Thanks for your video!
Great tutorial! Although I have been knitting for over 40 years, it's my first steps with diagonal and your video was a good choice to start off. I'm going to do diagonal with a herringbone pattern which is way advanced for me, so the first steps with garter and your guidance will build up my confidence before I go further. By the way, you have a very nice and soothing voice, perfect for this role.
I couldn’t get the hang of the crochet virus shawl until I watched your tutorial, now if I ever want to knit or crochet something, I come here first 💘 looking forward to this one
was going through your play list and saw this beautiful scarf. I'm using a Red Heart variegated in Autumn colors. Making it a semi- skinny scarf. I have a tip, ( you may know this already) that I stumbled on by accident but it really works out well. With the knit front and back, I knit the first part and then when I insert my needle into the back I just slip it and it works out beautifully. Thought I would pass that along for people who may have trouble with the knitting the back loop. Have a Blessed day!
I bought a lot of selfstriping yarn and this will make beautiful presents for my friends ! Thanks for the tutorial, after 55 years of straight up, this will be my first diagonal ! Great job.
I learned the Noro Scarf from you. Couldn’t quite get it from other instructions. It’s the project that kept me motivated (I loved seeing eaxh new color come along) when I first learned to knit last year. Now I’m finishing up a diagonal scarf. I try to learn a little something new with each project.
hi. 1st of all thank you. 2. for the 1st time in my life I wanted to knit something and my sister wanted to teach me the basics but I didnt want to practice then start 😂 sooo I searched and found this incredible yet easy pattern of yours and now... I'm loving it. I made a scarf with fringes!!!!!! and a hat and a head-band in just 3days... I would send you pictures but I don't know how. And again... THANK YOU 😍😍😍💗💗💗
I love your tutorial video. Saw it yesterday and rushed out to buy yarn & needles today so I can start knitting this scarf tonight! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for this pattern. After making my second scarf I found the best way to end off and keep a perfectly neat edge! You simply knit two tog through back stitches at the end of every row. Perfect.
Thank you for this tutorial. I've been wanting to make a tea towel to go with my dish cloths but couldn't find a pattern!! Now I can't wait to get started making my tea towels. I love how thorough you are!!!
I'm using this video as a reference point because I am loom knitting a blanket on the diagonal and while the technic isn't exactly the same because the stitches alternate between a knit and purl on the loom it is certainly helpful for how the create the corners properly.
This video helped me a lot. I wanted to try something new in a scarf for my daughter and I have a ball of red metallic and a ball of white metallic yarn. I'm going to try to use this pattern making large stripes. Thanks so much for your nice slow calming tutorial. You made it easy to learn.
And we love learning from you Fibre Spider. I'm trying to make a simple sweater with this technique using self striping yarn. I'm getting there. Thank you . Much appreciated video.
Some people commented they have had trouble with this turning out correctly but your swatch looks perfect! This is on my list of gifts to make for xmas this year. It’s going to be for my mother in law 🙂 keep you posted !!!! 🙂 always love your work
@@_Gaby_950I actually ended up doing a different pattern because of my mother-in-law’s personal preferences. However I still love this stitch and how fiber spider explains everything. ❤️
@@masuganut2082 Thank you for responding 3 years later! I'm happy to hear you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law. I'm a beginner, and I hope I'll be as experienced as you one day! Pax Christi
@@_Gaby_950 no problem ❤️ You just need to be patient with yourself. I honestly struggled to knit for over a decade. I finally sat down in January 2018 and was like “I’m not gonna stop till I have it” I would get frustrated and have to put down my work. But I kept picking it back up. I figured it takes a special kind of person and In watching youtube and having encouraging people to look to (fiber spider being one of them) I have come to realize that my ability for anything is limitless. We all have unlimited potential. It’s just what we choose worthy of our time. If for you that is knitting then you are going to get to the point of being proud of yourself. To the point where people will look at your work and be amazed. If that is what you wish 🥰 You can master any skill you wish. “Believe you can and you are halfway there” 🙏🏻🌻💛
It's brilliant, thank you for teaching us this clever pattern, a friend of mine has a jumper with this pattern and I always wanted to know how it's created. Now I have just made a scarf for my daughter in blue, really pretty, I'm happy, thumbs up!
Thank you very much. I watched your video tutorial and made a scarf for my son. I am not an expert in knitting but this one was really easy and very nice. Thanks again
I love your videos I've learned so much from them so easy to understand you and you take your time showing us how to do it thank you so much for showing us your videos and helping us learn I've learned a lot from you thank you.
Thanks you for your help. Just now I completed this your diagonal scarf. It’s a long almost 80” scarf in D. Knitting thick yern by no 10 needle. It seems nice. Thanks again. I am knitting another your design. It has been stopped due to shortage of yern. Let me finish it. Then I will write u.
Something that looks like it would give me trouble but is the way to go according to most people is magic loop knitting. Just a suggestion. If you’re able to get around to it eventually. I know a lot of people have tutorials but honestly I feel it would be best explained by you 😊 thank you always
Hi.. I did knit a big rectangular shawl.. using variant shaded yarn.. and it came out beautifully..It was fairly a big shawl..am happy with the result..I followed Fiber Spider pattern..worked out according to my requirements..@@intheparlance
+judyanddavid yes indeed, I am a real person, lol, and a night owl at that (2:55 am here) I'm sorry if the video quality isn't top notch, I use my phone to do all of the filming/editing. Thank you from New York 😊
+judyanddavid I'm so glad that I could accommodate you then! 😉 Just love the look and variation from the horizontal style, don't you? Also, in the near future I will be doing a really cool off-shoot of this concept in another tutorial, so stay tuned in 🙂
Thanks for the video! Why do you decrease 2 per row with a no decrease row in-between but increase 1 row at a time? Would it look different if you decreased 1 row at a time?
Hello there from London Kentucky. I’ve seen your video several times. Even though it’s for a scarf I’m gonna see if I can use the same pattern to make a blanket. Wish me luck.
hi Fiber spider. I am working on the multidional garter stitch scarf. I knited three triangles.and on my left needle Is at the top of the triangle with stitches on it facing towards the middle seam going to the point. In order to continue - do a do a front/back inc and knit 2 st and then do a ssk? Thank you for your assistance.
I have a question. You have the initial increases happening on every row, but the decreasing at the very end happening every other row, wouldn't that make it look strange???
Love this pattern. The one u did in red heart boutique treasures is stunning!! So I am doing one in red heart unforgettable because they are similar yarns. Plus I am always trying to find patterns that will work for unforgettable. Thank u SO much. U are so creative
I really want to try diagonal garter scarf .. maybe someone could help me to find printed instructions? If that is not possible I will write it down from you tutorial. Love your videos .. so happy to have found them. Thank you
I followed the instructions and ended up with a diagonal edge at the beginning of the scarf and a straight edge at the end. What I found is by increasing only at the BEG of the row you will end up with a diagonal edge and that is ok if that is what you want. However to get a straight edge I have been told to increase both at the beginning and at the end of alternate row. I guess I have to live with one scarf with a diagonal edge!!!
PATTERN 3:24 - start - cast on 1 slip knot - kfb 4:48 - increase - kfb, knit across - rep until desired width 8:40 - rectangle r - kfb, knit across until 2 st rem, k2tog tbl; place stitch marker w - knit across - rep until desired length 14:00 - decrease r - k2tog (tfl), knit across until 2 st rem, k2tog tbl w - knit across - rep until 4 st rem 18:15 - finish - k2tog (tfl), k2tog tbl - knit 2 (1 in each) - k2tog (tfl), pull through and break yarn I'm only a beginner knitter (I'm more experienced with crochet) so please forgive transcription errors (feel free to correct me!).
I think this pattern can be made into a rectangle throw by just making it real wide on bottom and working it just like the scarf. What do you think Mr. Spider?
Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial, I learned a lot from it. Would you please do the goldfish memory shawl cause I have trouble doing it , I'd be very thankful for your help

Hi every time I make one of these scarves I always look for your videos on how to finish it off. Thank you very much for doing this video ❤️
I've been knitting since my teen years, and yours is the most beautiful and unique pattern for scarves, I've come across so far

When do you start the decrease I am making a throw and I just started the middle section and I don’t know when I should stop
Thanks for the video! Why do you decrease 2 per row with a no decrease row in-between but increase 1 row at a time? Would it look different if you decreased 1 row at a time?

Once I figured out that increase part- which too like 30 redos- a breeze- I love this pattern-
You are struggling to knit, I think it would be helpful if you tried knitting with needles that made of something other than bamboo.
is there a link for this pattern
How did you make that scarf so long. What is the pattern for that?
Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤ From India
Beginning knitter here: I have been looking for a project to teach myself to increase and decrease and this looks perfect! So excited to try it
Update: It worked beautifully! I made a short scarf for my boyfriend and I've returned to make myself an infinity scarf!
How much yarn is required for this piece?
درود به شما آقای هنرمند عالی دست درد نکنه
Hi there, how do I use the same pattern to make the matching hat
??How many skeins for scarf in that yarn?
How many stitches did you cast on for a adult scarf please.
Ya la estoy tejiendo increíble diferente .te felicito saludos.
I love the video, but I'm looking for written directions. Can you direct me to pattern. Thank you.
I followed the instructions and ended up with a diagonal edge at the beginning of the scarf and a straight edge at the end.
What I found is by increasing only at the BEG of the row you will end up with a diagonal edge and that is ok if that is what you want. However to get a straight edge I have been told to increase both at the beginning and at the end of alternate row.
I guess I have to live with one scarf with a diagonal edge!!!

Is this pattern applicable to rectangle shawl too
I think this pattern can be made into a rectangle throw by just making it real wide on bottom and working it just like the scarf. What do you think Mr. Spider?
Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial, I learned a lot from it.
Would you please do the goldfish memory shawl cause I have trouble doing it , I'd be very thankful for your help
When you said you "splurged" and then showed me Red Heart I almost keeled over.
splurging in my yarn world like is like qiviut or vicuna
Very neat! TFS!
Oh at last I see how to do this! have made zillions of diagonal squares but never made the leap to a scarf. thank you!
Fiber Spider, is there a site to locate written patterns or are they for sale? I need entire pattern!
The only patterns I have for sale are on my etsy store, and I'm afraid this isn't one of them, sorry.
