The Which-Way Filet Blanket Crochet Tutorial!

[@michelledelzer]

I realize this video is four years old, but I just found it. And I’m so glad I did, I’m making a blanket for my mother, and this is absolutely perfect stitch. You’re tutorial is easy to follow and I love your voice. Thank you again

[@venitabucceri8435]

Dear Fiber Spider, this has to be one of the best-explained, patient, no-rush crochet tutorials I have ever sat through! THANK YOU for your precision and patience!

[@margaretcox9741]

This guy really is great at explaining what to do, I'm not a beginner but neither am I an intermediate, but the way he explains his work is so very easy for me to understand. Thanks I love your work.

[@janegracey5481]

You're a good teacher. I tried to watch someone else's video on this stitch. I couldn't keep up. I like when an instructor says exactly what he or she is doing. Thanks!

[@gloriacandler880]

You have most calming voice. I felt so relaxed and at ease..Thank you.❤❤

[@andesenn]

Your voice is perfect for this. I really enjoyed watching you crochet...very calming. Love this pattern. My next blanket.

[@tootsiequilt]

I made this pattern following your instructions and was very happy with it. Today I decided to make another one, and I decided to try something I hoped would work. When I end the round, I wrap the yarn twice around the hook, and then slip stitch to the top of the beginning DC. I then work a treble crochet and that puts my work exactly in the middle of the ending chain. The treble crochet counts as the ending chain. I work a single crochet in the treble crochet and then do two chains (counts as a double crochet) and then proceed to work the pattern. One can't even tell where the rounds begin and end. I hope if anyone tries this, they will find it much easier to end the round, and start the next round.

[@misshelen5229]

Thanks! I hope I remember to read this again when I make this afghan!

[@kirnpu]

I'm relatively new to crochet at 68 (never too old to learn!) and you've made the instruction so clear that I had no problem following along. It took me a bit to "get" the pattern but now I'm off and running to a lovely new baby blanket. Thank you so much!

[@aussiej8210]

I’m not a beginner when it comes to crochet and I come to KZbin for inspiration on new things to create. You Sir, are AMAZING!! I am so Grateful to watch a crochet tutorial that doesn’t explain how to do a double crochet stitch over and over. I agree those tutorials need to exist for the beginner (I learned to crochet from KZbin 😁), but, I know I’m not alone when I say that it gets a bit tedious to listen to when you already know how and you just want to watch the pattern unfold. I am definitely going to do this blanket and maybe play around with doing squares of this pattern and piecing them together. So much fun to be had. I’m also going to subscribe to your Channel so I don’t miss anything new. Well done. Keep up the good work. Ps your voice is hypnotic. 😍

[@patriciakozakewich7666]

Your explanations are so spot on. I enjoy the soothing timbre of your voice. When the house gets noisy and overly busy I like to access one of your youtube patterns and just listen and watch (even if I don't work along you). Thank you for being such a kind and sharing individual.

[@tbirdlondon3010]

I know you said use a solid color but I am a rebel and used Red Heart Ombre in blue. OMG it is beautiful with the slow change. With the pattern you almost can't see where the color darkens or fades, it is like magic. Love your work Fiber Spider. I always look forward to your new videos, it's like having my own crochet circle with a good friend, you make it so much fun.

[@elizabethtigheandino3964]

I agree, I. Am using ombré in green. And I love it!

[@sarahays5485]

I think he meant dont use varigated due to it getting lost w pattern striping yarn/changing yarn wont get lost so easily

[@1imaginems]

I would love to see a photo of how this looks. I also lose interest with a solid color and want to use a Medela cake but only has about five to six colors per entire ball.

[@1imaginems]

I wish there was a way to see your guys's blankets in ombre

[@tbirdlondon3010]

@@1imaginems Me too, I would love to see what is being explained. I did it in the blue and it really looks cool because of the slow color changes. I will be making another one with the gray/black ombre yarn.

I just started this pattern and love it! Is there any way to make it into a rectangle shape to use as a shawl?

[@pshepard7]

Donna - here's what I did. Ch12. Skip 6 chains 2dc - ch3 - 1 dc in next chain, Dc in next 4 chains. In last chain 1 dc ch3 2 dc-ch3 - 1 dc. Working on the unused loops of the chain - 1 dc in each of next 4. Join with a slip stitch 3 ch of skipped 6 chains. You end up with a rectangle with 2 dc on short end and 6 dc on long end. Then work like round 2 for short end and round 3 for long end.

Hi Fiber Spider I have a question for you: why are the corners 3 chains but the first corner is 2 chains? Maybe all the corners are 2 chains but you misspoke? Please let me know. By the way, I love your patterns especially the Butterflies square pattern. Thanks

[@irynastepien8078]

I'm wondering about that as well.

[@penley-annscreationspenny]

Harriet Horne Hi Harriet, What I noticed at the beginning of Row 5 it’s a chain up of 5, two double crochets, then a chain of two. Next step is to skip two double crochet and double crochet into every double crochet until you reach the chain 2 space. Row 6 starts with a change of 5. Two double crochet into corner space (No Chains) then double crochet into each double across until you reach the chain two space. Row 5 (18:54) Row 6 (24:25) I suggest you use two different color stitch markers one color for row 5 and the other color for row 6 and write which color belongs to which row in your notes...until you get use to the pattern . I had to restart twice. I took notes for each row and assigned two different color stitch markers for row 5 and row 6. I hope I was of some assistance to you. Enjoy your evening, Penny

[@msmikkic9738]

Wondering, too.

[@msmikkic9738]

@@penley-annscreationspenny Hi, Penny. Thanks for responding to the question, but this still doesn't explain why three of the four corners have 3 chains and the beginning corner only has 2. If the chain up is 5 stitches, then either the step up for the dc should be 2 stitches or the corners (all of them) should be 2 stitches. I've been crocheting for more than 35 years and I've never seen one corner be a different number of stitches than the others. Of course, I didn't design this pattern so, if there is a reason it was designed this way, I'd really like to know it so I can actually remember it. :-) I've never been very good at remembering stuff when I don't understand the reason for it.

[@penley-annscreationspenny]

MsMikkiC Hi, I’m not sure where the corner with chain is started (row 2?) Spider Fiber did state that he created the pattern and placed the fifth dc below because it worked the best...with that said maybe the different in a corner of 2 chains and not three made the pattern work. I laughed when you said you don’t learn unless you understand why it’s done that way. I also, need to see it in my brain to fully understand it. If I can’t twist and turn the information I may perform the task but, not fully understanding why. I noticed with the repeat of rows 5 & 6 it is a chain 3 then 2 dc depends on which row it leads to a chain 2 or 2 more dc before advancing to dc into each stitch across until the next chain two space. I have not been crocheting as long as you on a constant basis. The pattern makes sense to me when I’m repeating rows 5 & 6 and everything is lined up. I’m hoping FS reply to explain why he did a chain 2. Thanks, Penny
