The I must state for the record, that you are fun to do crochet with. Clear instructions - my project always comes out perfect. Been wanting to do this crocodile stitch hat for a long time now. Glad you helped me tackle it. Keep up the good work, fiber spider xx

[@angelicfruitcake]

It's like a crown! Love it!

[@SandyzSerious]

Yes, it's beautiful.

[@006pennylane]

OMG that is amazing. U R indeed the stitch and pattern converter in chief. I would never have thought that a hat could be made from that stitch pattern. It's genius. I now have the urge to make one - in purple! < Round of applause -Fiber Spider> I am a hat person - my GM bought me a fairisle wool beret when I was 4 yrs old and I was hooked on hats ever since.

[@jannahdinie6435]

[@midnightrun2764]

I sure hope you, had better luck than I did! I can’t figure out, whether he’s making all the scales w bpdcr, or is he alternating front & back? I feel like it should all be on the front, but after 5 times attempting this, I just tossed my crocheting hook, across the rec rm! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I really want to figure this one out!..Have you figured it out? Thanks!..

[@SandyzSerious]

What a beautiful hat. Love it.

[@jackelinematschat9514]

I just finished a crocodile stitch shawlette after watching your tutorial last week. It came out beautiful. I used lion brands shawl in a ball. Not an easy stitch to teach., but u did it very well. Thank you.

[@taras1804]

That's cute! Reminds me of a super hero hat.

[@clarelean3501]

This is wild! I love it ❤️😍

[@ninfaperez_4497]

I just finished making this hat, and I love it. I made it in the Mandala turquoise ombre'. It was so easy to make, and I could follow you easily. I have made several scarves using the crocodile stitch, but I've had to waste lots of time trying to figure out the pattern. Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial.

[@janelloyd4332]

[@ravenrain6120]

Cutest hat ever 🌼

[@lizjo7213]

Absolutely adorable...

[@caitlynnpetty4414]

I'm working on the shawl, too, and I would have called it the dragon stitch! Merry Christmas Fiber Spider!

[@k.leetalon742]

Ooooh! Immediately putting down the Noro blanket I'm working on and picking up a skein of Suburban Stitcher to make this!!!

[@LunarExcuse]

Is there a video tutorial for that?

[@vickiecoles8214]

I LOVE this!💖💖💖

[@dillsingh4113]

It reminds me of flower petals 🌸 xx

[@CreationsbyJax]

Making this in blue!!!

[@blublerry]

I’ve been wanting to make a hat for my kid’s costume this year. He’s going to be Luca (the sea monster from the Disney movie) and this pattern works beautifully! Thank you!

[@barbaraking9966]

Wow love it 😍

[@grammacilleturner7134]

My first thought was a crown. Use a "normal color for hair" and crochet a smooth top of the hat! Then two rows of the crocodile stitch in "gold" and the last 3 rows in the gold i think would really make it look like a crown. Then I thought about using a muted green and it made me think of an artichoke! lol A very impressive project no matter how you look at it. I'm going to try make it using my hair idea in dc and then the gold crown.

[@everchang1n]

Thank you so much for your thorough tutorial

[@karenh2890]

Love this!

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

I love this hat and I don't want to watch this until part 2 is uploaded (or should i exercise patience, watch this and wait?)

[@pegd1522]

Thank you so much for showing ups how to make this-so cute!! I love all your videos so much!! Any chance you could show us how to make a draw string bag with this stitch-want to make one for my daughter for her D & D dice!!

[@shannoncooper3298]

My daughter said the same thing she's a dice goblin

[@judithbadhan8025]

How I would love to make this a messy bun beanie!!

[@anamariafurtado7574]

Again thank you 😊

[@mashrukamaria5148]

Wow!! Its cool...

[@maryelwing3964]

I love the hat.....but I've started over 3 x already...giving up at least for today...maybe tomorrow will be better... ;( 1st of all your crochet patterns I've been lost in...love your work, my fiber spider!!

[@maryelwing3964]

I'm ĺost also for first time. I have made many of his projects,!😢😂😢

[@DoubleOh42]

Just started this hat an hour ago. Didn't follow your instructions at all; just have been making it up as I go. FWIW they definitely don't look the same lol.

[@elizabethkrueger5589]

I love that!

[@margiefly8705]

I’ve crochet 4 hats ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shellykearney7821]

Love it ❤

[@joanmonicadesouza8175]

Thank you

[@derickelsner6802]

AWESOME 😎

[@いつかその日が来る日まで-y8r]

黄色かオレンジ色で編んだらドラゴンボールのスーパーサイヤ人のようですね(笑)

[@debbiejohnson952]

😲 OMG WHAT NEXT CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH U SWEETIE THANKS I AM GOING TO TRY IT

[@amandall3633]

I have enough problems looking good in a hat, maybe this would suit me 🤔 It's unique I have to say 😳💕

[@thewitchhut63]

I like this. Wondering how to make this as part of a baby diaper cover and hat set. This finished hat fits an adult, would I go with smaller hook sizes and a thinner yarn for baby size?

[@mariannesoptelean7635]

You need a phfrenologist ...to read the 'bumps' on your head...😅 Looks fun to make.❤

[@ireneritter726]

How funny 😀😻

[@jpip9005]

Amazing!!!!!!!How much yarn did you end up using for this hat?

[@karenbehymer3634]

Everyone else is doing fine. Will keep trying

[@icefox94]

i might have to commandeer this technique for making dragonscale drawstring pouches. i've been wanting to make some for a while, but had no idea how to go about it. not any that i liked, anyways.

[@theresamcdonald2144]

thinking of Jughead

[@laurelstieg9375]

Where are your pointy elf ears ???😁😄 I don't know how you figure this stuff out...Quasimodo,,the old one with Charles Laughton..he had a hat on like that..

[@LunarExcuse]

That looks like a pineapple 🍍

[@cherrilynbenedicto8817]

Cute.... ♥

[@JoJo-kn4cv]

is that u in that pic fiber spider??? i often wonder who the person is that im listening and learning from in ur videos!!!

[@imbetthaley5217]

❤ ❤ ❤

[@debbiejohnson952]

💘 lol to u and yours 4

[@debbiespencer610]

Just can't get each dire til. U r going. Could u possibly put it flat with arrows. Love your pattern and teaching. If anyone can teach me, you can.If u aren't a teacher, u should be. You R excellent.

[@Mizmawkwa]

😮

[@trinejensen1707]

I love it SO much, but i’m working on one now and something is wrong; I have followed your tutorial, but mine is becoming small like it is in a size which would be more fit for a kid 👀🤔 The yarn i use is for a size 2.5 hook, can that be the reason for my small hat 👀🤷🏻‍♀️Please be nice if some of you respond to my comment, cause i’m a newbie in doing crochet, so i don’t know so much about it all 😌

[@genjetaime01]

good day to you, i love this, i wish i can make one for my daughter who is six yrs old and another one for my grandson who is 3yrs old...how can i make one is there a pattern for them, i wish you can make and upload a video for that, thank you... how i wish you can read and reply to my comment, god bless😊

[@midnightrun2764]

Wow! I’m so confused! Does anyone know, does he make a back post double, after a set on f 5, front post doubles, for the very first, & second stitch? 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s where I’m stuck, & I’m not a beginner, I am dyslexic though, so maybe that’s the problem! I’ve watched this about 8 times now, & just can’t follow the second stitch! Thanx!..✌🏼🇨🇦

[@evansjeffrey4]

I think you are right in a way. If I'm seeing it right, it's not worked in continuous rounds as some of his other hats are. If the foundation row is worked "counter-clockwise," the scale row is worked "clockwise."

[@Harley_Quinn_Richards]

Is there a way to change colors in this project

[@sandycantu6830]

How 4ver did you come up with this design ❤️🌹🙏

[@oakstrong1]

You might call it a crocodile stitch hat but I see a pixie king hat or a jester's hat. (Not the caricature you see on playing cards.) I would like to make this for my grandson but crocheting hats and I don't go into the same sentence.

[@annmarieacosta1343]

Can you make this as a baklava?

[@altpapapi]

I'm undecided on this one. Looks a bit reptile alien invaders. All it needs is a tail.

[@fosterck13]

Is it possible to purchase this pattern

[@karenbehymer3634]

Started over a few times.....still got a confusing mess.....

[@cherrilynbenedicto8817]

Can you make bottom to top please

[@frozenstone1787]

🤣🤣🤣🤭🙃

[@ritadavis3710]

can I get a written pattern

[@silvershadow013]

Hmmm...🤔

[@melolinedreanie0199]

i wish the scales were upside down :(

[@victorialoren2372]

Omg you’re to fast.
