[@LindaKane-d6l]

This tutorial was so easy to follow can't wait to make my own. I'm a lefty and it was so clear that I can make it easily. Thank you so much!

[@hugettewatson2789]

Your tutorial makes it so clear and simple there was no room for me to make any errors,thank you ❤️

[@valerietomlin4363]

I miss your tutorials. Always the most clear and easy to follow. I referred back to this one for a refresher after a couple of years.

[@jacalynpillion516]

Thank you for being so thorough with your teaching style. Was a bit perplexed at one point but now it’s clear!

[@StephanieSharp2]

Thank you! This is the very best virus shawl tutorial I have seen so far on KZbin. And I appreciate the link to the chart because I find charts much easier to follow than written patterns. Love the yarn, too, I’m in the UK, so I’m glad I can find that as well.

[@Girlybunches]

Pleased you liked the video Stephanie :) Glad you found it helpful. I love charts too, they really click with me, but they don't' for everyone. Thanks for watching :)

[@llern3]

Really Excellent verbal instructions and high-quality video :-) So clear. You’re both energizing and calming at the same time, and that makes me feel comfortable doing the project. Thank you so much!

[@Girlybunches]

I'm so pleased you like the video, it's hard to get it right for everyone. Thank you for your kind comment, and thanks for watching :)

[@suejones4412]

Thank you for posting the clearest and most comprehensive tutorial for this pattern that I have found so far, you have made it easy to follow and I am enjoying how quickly it grows..x

[@Girlybunches]

Thanks Sue, it's a lovely pattern to work isn't it. I'm glad you found the video helpful, thanks fro watching :)

[@vchick2010]

Thank you....its coming along very well...I just rewind to 8:30 on the video clock and restart the process...this way I don't get the rows mixed up....thank you again

[@gallowaystargazer5266]

Thank you so much Joy, I was struggling with how to repeat, I never thought about rewinding to 8.30.

[@TheMeadowCraftWorkshop]

Yet another fantastic tuition video. This moves the finishing of a classic shawl into a totally different class well done Olivia and a big thank you.

[@michaelharrison6789]

You instructions are very clear! Other ones were very confusing to me, but you made it easy for me to understand the pattern. Thank you.

[@pennymiles1039]

Thank you do much. I have been struggling with this pattern for so long and stumbled upon you're amazing wonderful video. you're the only one who goes so clearly and explain so well. Thank you thank you thank you

[@Girlybunches]

So pleased I was able to help Penny. You'll be making loads of these I can assure you lol I've made a few now. Thank you for watching :)

[@mollybradbury7571]

Wonderfully clear and concise video. The repeats in different colours help enormously. Many thanks.

[@Girlybunches]

So pleased you found it helpful Molly. Thanks for watching :)

[@CarpenoxThriller]

Thank you so much! My shawl is coming along beautifully! Your video has been the easiest to follow that I've seen for the virus shawl. :) love your work.

[@Girlybunches]

That's great news, I am pleased you like the video, thank you for watching. :)

[@kimberlyslagle8463]

Thank you so much! I watched several videos for the virus shawl and yours is just so clear and easy to follow. So again, thank you very much!

[@Girlybunches]

I'm so pleased, thank you. :)

[@Mzdiana82]

Brilliantly done! You gave very clear and concise instructions for this pattern. As always I love your tutorials❣TFS and your time.

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you darling!... I always love your lovely comments. Thank you so so much. :)

I have tried this pattern so many times and goofed each time. I finally found you. This is not easy as you think. I guess I am getting old. Only 74. Changing the color helped me immensely. It made all the difference to me. The variegateds are so hard to keep track of the stiches. Thank you for the solids. I do wish you would have done the one more row even though you said its a repeat. Evidently this is the row I had the problems. One more row please, only one. Thank you again. I want this shawl so much. Just asking why don't they just crochet the stiches the same in both countries? Sure would make it so much easier for us smart people to follow patterns. You are wonderful....

[@doloresungerleider4984]

Excellent demo. Easy to follow with clear explanations. Works up beautifully.

[@Girlybunches]

Thanks so much!, Glad you like my little video, thank you for watching :)

[@marysimpson9506]

This is excellent, Olivia. I've just made this shawl for my 92-year-old mother and wish I'd been able to watch your tutorial before really struggling to understand the concept of the four-row repeat. Of course, once you've repeated it a couple of times... it dawns 🙄. Your demo and explanation would have made it so much easier. Love your tutorials... Oh, apart from your attempt at a left-handed demonstration. I hold my hook and yarn the same way as you do, only in the other hand... apart from the fact that I hold my work with my index finger and thumb and feed it across my middle finger.

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Mary, thanks so much for your kind comments. Yes it's not too tricky to get into, glad your Mother in Law has a nice lovely shawl you made for her. Love being able to make things for friends and family. Thanks for watching :)

[@marysimpson9506]

+Girlybunches Mother, not, 'in-law'. I'll let you know what she thinks... I should be going over during the week.

[@SrSrk98]

you are simply a marvelous teacher....awesome tutorial...thanks a bunch

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you so much, you're very welcome, thanks for watching :)

[@dreenatyson5144]

excellent instructions thank you tryed this with someone else and got completely lost had to pull it back about 15 rows but now its good

[@Girlybunches]

Very pleased I could help Dreena, how many shawls have you made now? I find this pattern is very addictive!! Thanks for watching :)

[@ScreeminMeeme]

Thank you for a very helpful tutorial. Beautiful job.

[@kimfaracy7759]

you have made this soooooo easy. thank you so much for this. I have already made one and working on my second today.

[@Girlybunches]

Fantastic! I'm so pleased I was able to help, it's not very easy to explain, gave myself brain ache lol Thanks for watching :)

[@deborahm4484]

Hi your tutorial is very well explained.love this shawl have made a couple of them,they are for a charity here in Ireland,will also do some for friends. Love your coloured shawls you made they are gorgeous happy crocheting from Ireland

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Deborah! Hello!!.. :) Thanks, it's fab isn't it. Work up nice and quick. Love that you made them for charity! Thanks for watching :)

[@lifeofaimee6259]

love this Olivia, just started it and I am loving it so far! Looking forward to seeing the finished item...

[@Girlybunches]

Great Aimee, how is it going? Thanks for watching hun :)

[@madamc3458]

Thank you so much!!!! I had been struggling with a very lovely American lady on KZbin. I understood that my trebles were her doubles... but she was "anchoring" everywhere? This has made me realize how easy this pattern is... once you get in the swing of it!

[@Girlybunches]

Ah yes, funny how we all mean the same thing but we all say it differently. Glad the video helped you out. Thanks for watching :)

[@carmens2222]

Thank you !

[@madamc3458]

OK, now I know this is weird.. but I have now crocheted so many of these shawls now. I have to say how fabulous again these instructions are. Thanks again, lovely xx

[@CincyCkyLdy]

I couldn't find anywhere what size hook you were using. Or did I just miss it?

[@madamc3458]

I have always knitted this is aran weight (worsted in American). My favourite hook is a 6mm. I don't think you want this to be too tight, or else you will get a rather stiff looking shawl! xx May have used a 6.5 before too. Just choose your yarn and do a couple of rows and see how it looks. Should be floppy (in my opinion!) xx Hope this helps x

[@didly6191]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much. Greetings from Australia.

[@robynwoolnough5000]

another great video Olivia, you explains things so well, winter here in Oz so will add this to my to do list cheers Robyn Woolnough

[@Girlybunches]

Great. Thanks Robyn, sounds perfect. Thanks for watching :)

[@24caratcrochetCoUk]

Thanks Olivia. I've never done a virus shawl yet but really want to. I don't wear shawls so it would be for a gift or selling. It is definitely on my "to do" list.

[@Girlybunches]

Oh Zoe, you may start wearing shawls if you make one hehe. It works up very quickly, so a great project for items to sell. :)

[@24caratcrochetCoUk]

Yes, I am sure you are right! This one certainly looks fantastic.

[@beverlyb6391]

I fell in love with the first shawl I made. A friend came by and said it was cold when she was leaving and asked me to lend her the shawl. I never saw it again. I think it's like having a baby, you will fall in love.

[@24caratcrochetCoUk]

There are more and more people making this now! I just have to find the right yarn in my stash!

[@MrsPridmore]

This was a great tutorial! Thank you so much! I look forward to more of your videos 😊

[@Girlybunches]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching :)

[@nickie206]

Thanks Olivia! Another brilliant tutorial!

[@Girlybunches]

Thanks hunni! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching. :)

[@MySunflower09]

I love this video my first one came out ok and only I know where I missed up. but my question is what kind of yarn works best. I used the red heart yarn in stained glass and I think for my first shawl I should of used a heavier yarn due to I'm not use to using a light weight yarn and I am a tight crochet. I love how the yarn you used looks so net. thank you again.

[@Girlybunches]

Use what ever you like.. I like Double Knit so I can use a slightly larger hook.. this makes it really floppy and snuggly... if you use a lighter weight yarn it will need more yarn to work up to a decent size.. but really it's up to you. Thank you so much for watching :)

[@debrtx]

Strange name, but so beautiful especially in the variegated color you show at beginning of video. Thank you so much.

[@Girlybunches]

Yes it is isn't it, I do explain why it's called that at the end of the video. Thanks for watching 😊

[@MERamsden]

I've only just found this video, it's extremely helpful! If you coukd provide some details about how to weave in ends when using different yarns, I'd be very grateful. I'd like to use several different colors of yarn rather than an ombre or variegated yarn.

[@Lulita.222]

very clear and well explained ...your a great teacher. .Thank you

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you so much!! Thanks for watching :)

[@sarahjonorman5628]

When it comes to this pattern, I am definitely the dumb kid in class. Everybody says it is so simple, but I just can't "get" it. I've ripped out 2 so far. I'm hoping your video will finally enable me to figure it out.

[@Girlybunches]

Hi SarahJo, I really hope my video helps you out. I certainly do think after a couple of rounds it starts to sink in, but I used the diagram linked in the description box many times to check myself. So take it steady and you should get it soon. Thanks for watching. :)

[@legolandcastle]

Thank you for this video, it's so clear and well explained 💕💕

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you, glad you liked it and it helped. Thanks for watching :)

[@DottyGran247]

Thank you sooooooo much :) haven't even watched the whole video yet but I know it will be good to follow along with you when I have time...added this to my "to do" playlist. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕 Ann...x

[@Girlybunches]

Oh thank you so much Ann! I hope it's ok and easy to understand. Do let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching. :)

[@Iloathsnow]

Excellent tutorial, thank you😍

[@cherylfranks2090]

very nice , I am going to try this for a Christmas present thanks again

[@Girlybunches]

Perfect! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching. :)

[@denisecontreras6531]

very pretty I'm going to do this next. after i finish the shawl i am working on.

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Denise, great, be warned these are very addictive. Thanks for watching :)

[@lucyhernandez3408]

that so pretty color

[@lynnehume9468]

You are amazing thank you so much. It's now very clear to follow, can you suggest how much yarn it take to finish it. Thanks again. lynne 💕

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Lynne, I used for my shawls, various amounts, but I think you will need around 300 - 400g of yarn to make it good size. Thanks for watching. :)

[@mspollynicole1]

Beautiful. Very likely my next project. Thank You so much.

[@Girlybunches]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching :)

[@greenfire6545]

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Jenny!! Hi to South Africa from London!! :) Thanks for watching and glad you liked the video :)

[@Midorikonokami]

This pattern is perfect to put shoulder covers into a spaghetti strap dress I'm beautifying, thank you so much!

[@Girlybunches]

Oh very nice.. yes. You're very welcome, thanks for watching :)

[@cathharr08]

What is your length from neck to the point on the variegated shawl you made. I'm making one but not sure if I made it long enough. I used 3.5 skeins of ICE brand yarn. Thanks much

[@Mzdiana82]

I forgot to mention earlier that your shawl in the variegated yarn is absolutely gorgeous❣🖒👏💜

[@Girlybunches]

Ahh thanks for reminding me, I need to put a link to the yarn I used in the description box. I love it too. Here it is for you.: - www.iceyarns.com/products/s.revelry-_ymbuom#inc632

[@karenkippen7072]

Hello, I wish you had demonstrated the next row, I'm stuck what to do at the chain 7 space. Can you help please? X

[@lisaparry6782]

Thank you for doing this i will try and make this but not no if i can

[@kandimata777]

Thank you so very much! You're AWESOME!

[@Girlybunches]

That's so sweet of you, thank you Kandi, glad you liked my video, thanks for watching :)

[@aprylfox909]

Hi there, where can I find the written pattern? Would love to make this. Going to watch the whole video just looking for written pattern to go along with the video 😊 thank you

[@1215mdpc]

I going to try your way .... love the video.... QUESTION: on your blog you have 2 coin purse ... will you ever do a video on them.... Rainbow is super cut well I love them both...

[@Girlybunches]

Hi, thanks, Sorry no I wont be on that. Sorry I Girlybunches has to have some secrets lol. Thanks for watching. If I get time I might make into a pattern for my Etsy shop?

[@patoakes6016]

Can you please tell me what row you end on? I’m thinking it’s the tow with a double crochet and chain1?

[@maribethhaczewski5819]

EXCELLENT! I DID IT!!

[@ToBelongNowhere]

Yay! Thank you so much!! So excited to give this one a go! =)

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Rachel, oh you must. It makes the most beautiful shawl. I promise you will be making more than one lol. Thanks for watching. :)

[@lizleatherbarrow1291]

I know this was 4 years ago but so very helpful 🤗

[@AnneGoggansQHHT]

Thank you 🌷

[@margaretjones2098]

Hi Olivia, have you used the virus pattern to make a blanket/throw? I want to make one for a double bed. Thanks in advance. Margaret.

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Margaret, no I've only made a shawl with it. I know I've seen this made into a square. I expect you could find a pattern for it on Pinterest.

[@missapippin9020]

Great video. Thank you very much

[@Girlybunches]

You're very welcome, glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for watching :)

[@syedashobbieschannel58]

Thanks 😄

[@Girlybunches]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :)

[@dakotagetz475]

I have a question. Each round adds 1 arch more correct ?

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Dakota, yes, to each side.

[@kandimata777]

Do the ch4s increase as the shawl gets larger?

[@Girlybunches]

No, just keep repeating the four rows as I've shown, it will grow naturally, no need to add chains. Hope that helps :)

[@tracydee1857]

This is a well explained video, the problem is me. I quickly get confused with the U.K and American terms and if I'm not paying attention, that double becomes a double...lol *cheers*

[@danacrochet89]

Hii..can I know the size of ur hook ur working with please?!

[@Girlybunches]

Sure, it's 4mm, but you would use the appropriate sized hook for the yarn you're using. Thanks for watching. :)

[@rachelmacsween5578]

have you got a written pattern

[@syedashobbieschannel58]

Do you have written patterns?

[@Mzdiana82]

its in the description box in her blog.

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you Mzdiana82 :)

[@mjperfume1523]

Please can u show me where the written pattern is Thanks

[@cheriemiller7107]

Why didn't you tell us the name of the yarn and the color numbers. I got that it was from Ice.

[@swapnabanerjee8030]

Very nice ñ

[@cynthiajones1283]

I tried sorry to fast for me and I can't seem to do it correctly

[@cynthiajones1283]

But it's very pretty pattern

[@silvercarolina4045]

Hook size? I think I saw 4mm?? Not sure

[@Girlybunches]

Yes in this video I use a 4mm hook and DK yarn. It's not important for teaching you how to do the stitch, which is why I don't mention it. You would use the hook appropriate for the yarn you're using. Hope you make one thanks for watching and subscribing :)

[@silvercarolina4045]

Girlybunches Girl! I'm 2/3s of the way done now!!! and I did go with 4mm. thanks for answering and the video.

[@stchr3247]

Are written instructions?

[@Girlybunches]

Have a look on Ravelry

[@lindamcneely]

can somone please make a written pattern for this. have not yet learned how to do the charts.

[@Girlybunches]

I think +24 Carat Crochet has a written pattern?

[@lindamcneely]

thanks

[@lindamcneely]

checked but could not find it. thank you anyway. love the shawl

[@itsjudystube]

Try Ravelry website.

[@sharamiller8686]

U need to tell us how many stitches are in each row at the end. That's why I keep getting it wrong. It doesn't add up and I have tried 6 times. I'm not a beginner but I have never done this shawl ever. People who are true beginners and doing some intermediate patterns need to know how many stitches and how many V stitches there should be before we work the 4th round. I love the work but I can't read patterns. I learned by watching others. I have tried to read patterns but it never turns out right. Please do another video with you telling us how many stitches we should have in each row.
