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?

This is my first shawl and you have made it such a delightful and happy experience with your ever so clear instructions and explanations, thank you! 🥰 Even years later you bring joy to people.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

Hey could you please roll me which row I should be finishing my shawl on regards jane

[@emmaarcher7233]

I've always wanted to make a virus shawl, and I always follow your videos. So when I found your videos for it I was over the moon! Really enjoying it and I would never have been able to make it if it wasn't for your help. I struggle to read patterns and but love to follow KZbin videos. 😊 X

[@donnaalgren9070]

Wonderful tutorial! You explained as we went along which was nice. I had wondered why we had chain 10 sometimes and chain 7 other times and you explained it well. Thank you.

[@Joankf40]

Thank you for the videos. They have made the process much easier to follow and I can't wait to get started on my 1000 metes of cashmere I've been agonising over for at least a couple of years waiting for the perfect project.

[@suz57annis9]

Oh my I have been following this pattern with you. And I have just caught on. I am doing the wrong pattern. I was supposed to be doing the blanket. Never mind you are a brilliant teacher. Thank you very much.

THANKS SO MUCH! You are a fabulous teacher and not to slow or fast and this extra video really helped me a bunch. sure would love to have you each on filet crochet making names with filet crochet or the alphabet. God Bless! you have a nice speaking voice also. cc and thanks for explaining more than once to remind us a double is a single in america good job

[@jayalakshmisarma8296]

Hi Bella! This is Jaya Sarma from India. I was repeatedly searching for a suitable pattern for the variegated yarn I had..I am very much impressed by your video tutorial for virus shawl with the extra helpline..I have started crocheting the virus shawl and hope to finish it perfectly. Thanks a lot for the detailed tutorial

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome and good luck with your shawl :)

I love the pattern. I haven’t started it yet because I want to get a finer yarn. I think your video is very clear and easy to follow. Thank you

[@lindabeckman7914]

I just finished both videos and am going to work on, your video was very easy to follow and understand. I tried listening to others and they just didn't work so thank you for taking your time with it and making it easy for us to follow. I am also going to check out some of your other videos when I get this shawl made. Have a great day

[@hayleywincott7761]

Brilliant video, such clear instructions. I managed to make this using 1 100g Ball of King Cole's Sprite double knitting as couldn't get hold of the yarn you used, it gave much the same effect but without the sparkle. I am fairly knew to crochet so really pleased I was able to make something that looks that impressive. Thanks for your help with this, looking forward to trying something else from your videos!

[@JemChapman88]

I've made 3 of these in different colours for my mum now she loves them 🤸‍♀️💜 thanks Bella coco

Sarah - Jayne you are an angel in disguise! Thank you so much 😀 You have made this so easy to do. I will pop a picture up in the Bella coco crochet Facebook group when I finish. I'm making my first one in stylecraft dk duck egg but will be ordering some of this lovely yarn from you on payday 😀 THANK YOU AGAIN XXX

U are so good at this , I got it like first time and I am only a beginner . Thanks so much for this tutorial !!!

[@kimquinn7728]

Wish I could add a photo to my comment. I used your wonderful tutorial to make this shawl for a wonderful friend and edged it with a border by stitchdiva. I finished shawl with the dc, ch1 row. Placed a row of dc across shawl tip to tip. Working from tip to point and back up to the other tip, her edging was- In 1st dc do a dtc, picot and then chain 1. Do this repeat across all fans. ONLY between fans, last dtc of one and first of the next, do NOT ch1. So beautiful. Thank you both.

Thanks for the extra help - usually no one ever does that . Now I will make this because without you I couldn't finish this

[@usuallyconfused]

All I can say is you are an amazing teacher and Crocheter thank you for the extra information. Teşekkür ederim! I can't wait to make this!

[@colhrt40]

I love this pattern but I could not do it. I am a beginner. You did a wonderful job explaining, like always. I feel this one was a little harder and needed more rows done. I will try it again in the future, it is a beautiful shawl!

[@mggoats5903]

Amazing tutorial! Thank u so so so much!! Such a beautiful shawl :D , I am just wondering one thing- how many times should I repeat the pattern to make a nice long shawl?

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome 😊 That depends on how big you want the shawl - the great thing is that you can try it on as you go. I have seen lots of people make one of these using a gradient yarn cake and these normally have 1000m (4 ply) so that could be a good guide too.

[@mggoats5903]

[@aardvark1956]

Thanks - I got the hang of it quite easily and am breezing right along. I’m using an Ice Yarn - Angora Magic - that I did have to frog 10 stitches of early on 😲. I’m paying CLOSE attention now, believe me. 😆

[@cathharr08]

I think it will help to go back to the Part 1 of this video and pick up the tutorial where we left off. The only difference will be the number of repetitions. Beautifully done thank you.

[@owieprone]

Thanks for this tutorial, nice and easy to follow. Thanks for the extra help tutorial, much appreciated. I even managed to figure out how to read the written chart for when I get confused which stitch to do next on the longer rows. I'm probably an advanced beginner, but luckily I've just finished the lost souls shawl, struggling through that after the tutorials helped me understand how to continue after you stopped this one. I did get confused a few times between uk and us stitches when you say them... being used to watching US ones, even through I'm UK, slight arg moments when I realised half-way through a row. Cheers. :)

[@tina597]

Both videos are excellent. Thank you for great tutorials.

Same for me..I think she does have the written pattern, just go back to the first video to look.

[@marthamiller7490]

Thanks, I got my answer here. You are a great teacher.

[@michelleveizaga2511]

Thank you so much! This has been such an enjoyable project to do because you have made it sooooo easy to follow!

[@deninevh]

You're a very good teacher! I've been crocheting most of my life, decided to try this, and you're so easy to follow......but then when it's ended, I don't know what else to do. I think a little longer and maybe time stamps would have helped me along. For instance, when exactly do we ch 1 in between the dlb crochets {treble to you}?

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much, I'm really happy you find my tutorials helpful 😊 The virus shawl can be quite a tricky pattern to master. You should be repeating rows 4-7 to continue the pattern. You might also find it helpful to take a look at the chart of the pattern which shows all the stitches and where they should be worked into; you can find it through the link here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/virus-shawl--virustuch

[@deninevh]

please help!! I am completely lost without any guidance after thus viseo and i don't know how to continue on. you said there is a link to the pattern but I don't know how to read the diagram and the link to ravelry has a 5 part video series and they are doing there pattern slightly different. do you know of the written step by step pattern that is the same as you have used here or another video!! help!

[@Hippievibetribe]

I have followed both videos. Mine isn’t straight across the bottom. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Mine curves. This is my first shawl. So any advice would be awesome

[@bellacococrochet]

It's normal for the virus shawl to curve a bit along the bottom 😊 As it gets bigger you should find that it straightens out a bit more, or you could block it once it's finished, but it won't be too noticeable once worn as a shawl anyway 😊

[@rubyfkat]

[@fairytailfox1693]

I do the stitches right and the number correctly but the skipping part doesn’t go right and o really need help on that part

[@sashadistan3687]

I was hoping Additional Tips would include more information, like the size of the finished garment and the amount of yarn used for this specific project in this specific yarn... how else to know how much to buy?

[@bellacococrochet]

That information is in the description box. On average, people use 2-3 balls of 100g yarn x

Do you have a picture of the finished product? I'd like to know how large it is and how it wraps.

[@anbel1808]

Can I get the instructions of this video written in words?

[@carolinestewart532]

Hi Bella Coco how can I make a smaller neck scarf than a full shawl?

[@bellacococrochet]

Hi Caroline, there's no set size for this pattern so you could just make it to the size you want and then tie off - leave the yarn attached at first so you can try it on first 🙂

[@clairesolo]

At 1:15 i think you mean go in and do 10 trebles?

[@callietaylor7546]

clairesolo yes i think she was using the US terminology there and picked back up with the UK terms. Just a slip of the tongue! It must get confusing trying to use both terms and make sure ppl aren't confused.

Good video except that you would say (US) dbl crochet instead of treble crochet and then you’d say dbl crochet instead I’d (US) single crochet. You kept mixing both of them together. Example in the US we’d say single crochet then the next stitch was a dbl crochet. But you’d say dbl crochet then dbl crochet but actually you’d do a single and then a dbl. I hope that made sense. I kept having to go back to see which one you meant.
