[@kellypeters8330]

Fantastic blanket

[@euchrideucrow1970]

I love this! You’ve made it so simple yet the results look phenomenally complicated.

[@maethomas7729]

I don’t know how long ago you did this video, I just find that few weeks ago , love it so much.

[@alysondean7101]

Hi Fiber Spider! I've been crocheting for a year and recently followed your virus blanket tute, now I'm doing this one. Thank you for being so much fun to listen to and making such great tutes that even a beginner like me can master!

[@yvonnecooley9786]

Love the Virus and granny stitch together. You are very patient. I crochet as you teach. Love you fiber spider.

[@lovelyserenity6341]

Just want say a big thank you for making your videos so easy to follow. I've Not been crocheting very long but you give me confidence to try new patterns. Thanks again x

[@pennylee9446]

Well done! Can't wait to see what you will have next. If anyone is unclear, you only need go back to a previous video and each has rounds marked as to where to find a specific part of the blanket where you might have forgotten or gotten confused somehow. Fiber Spider, you couldn't have made it any clearer. Thank you for sharing. Happy Crochet everyone.

[@eryniel3585]

Thank you for making this, I can’t imagine the amount of work that’s gone into not just coming up with this pattern, but also making videos for it. You’ve been very thorough, and I love that you provide the “formula” for what you’re doing, too, so that we understand what to do if we wish to adapt the pattern. Like other people have suggested below, if you wanted to make a sixth video, maybe you could provide examples/suggestions of different borders (on small swatches). Can’t wait to see what else you’ll make!

[@krissandlin3801]

Great project!

[@mikenichols3983]

You're the best! I have followed these 5 tutorials and am going to further complete it for a full size throw. Its a beautiful pattern and you make it so simple. Your voice calms me and I feel I know you and were great coffee drinking, chatty yarn freaks! Ha ha. I'm 59 years old and am rehabbing from a stroke, with my sister in Kansas City, MO, but live in Charleston, WV. I now have plenty of time to crochet, being bed bound,for once in my life. You and your videos help me to pass the time with happiness. You have made my life much better so please keep up the videos!

[@sylviaolivo9838]

Good evening five or spider what a wonderful tutorial you did I watched all four series and it’s beautiful God bless you

[@deepalijambhale9677]

Hello spiderate This is a really beautiful project! You are so patient and thorough. I like the way you explain the patterns. I'm starting with this project today! Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@sandiecreech3995]

You did it again...a masterpiece! Thanks to you and these videos to follow, my sister's Christmas gift has just been found. I just bought the yarn today and I am going to get busy stitching! I absolutely love your videos. Please keep doing them.

[@kelleymaxwell4388]

I'm a knitter who has never really tried strengthening her crochet skills. I've gone through this entire crochet along absolutely amazed by how easy it is to follow along to. Yeah, it's been five whole years since this was uploaded...better late than never, I guess. I'm making mine out of a blue ombre yarn and loving it❤ (this is the one "spider" that I'm not afraid/allergic to😂 and, I've saved these videos to a Playlist entitled: Fiber Spider spins his web. I may never go back to knitting.

[@lilysoto7733]

Aww. I ran out of yarn and had to order it online. Can't wait to finish the blanket. It's coming out beautiful and your instructions are great

[@yvonnecooley9786]

Love the Virus/granny. Got it first time. Xoxox

[@gaylareinkens3231]

This is so exacting and concise! I've watched all the videos... each several times. I believe, you have led me to my next project once again, thank you so much for doing this in such detail this way. At the moment, I'm finishing up my current project, and watching along. First baby shower is the 7th of July. Then another baby on the way :)

[@barbaradolan4053]

Thank you for this pattern. It’s so beautiful. Trying to make mine queen size. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@kathynowell4724]

Thank you so much, really enjoying doing this one.

[@jeanninelipomi1968]

I saw all of your virus blankets and shawl. I am currently doing the blanket it did look complicated but I watched the tutorial wrote pattern it is easy after you have done the first set. I am using the Red Heart Ombre Cocoa with a H hook just finished the first skein 22 rows. Oh yes I did do some oops. Do not crochet when you are tired. You are definitely a good teacher. You teach softly and clearly. My grandparents were called meme and pepe. JeannineACraftyLady

I always jot down the repeats as you say them too so I can glance down at them if I get abit confused ( doesn't take much ) it helps a lot , 😊Amanda xx

[@ObsessiveCrochetLady]

I've only been crocheting a few years now learned when I was a kid and only picked it back up a little over four years now I tried about a year or two ago to do the virus blanket and I was so confused. But the way you explained it it was very easy for me to learn it thank you so much for having the time and patience to teach us new things that we never thought we were able to make 💙💕

[@susiecope8736]

Thank you so much for these tutorials I am doing my version in 4 shades of pink and am loving how you explain it

[@長野律子]

Thank you very much for your instruction. It was so helpful.Now,I'm doing my granny stiches again.This blanket is so beautiful.I haven't finished yet but I'm going to continue my project until I'm done.

[@billpatterson9408]

Thank you very much for this pattern. If you were to do a Part 6, the only suggestion would be that it be a boarder on the end of the virus.

[@jannetteanderson5068]

There are various borders listed in tutorials for the virus blanket. Here is only one which I've attached. There are a few more as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ2kqGirpZifh5o

[@penley-annscreationspenny]

Hi Fiber Spider My blanket is beautiful I have chosen the color Strawberry from Ice Cream. Your color is pretty. I going to say this with love do not continue because this is a lot of work for you and I will be able to refer back to prior videos for instruction. This pattern is intense, I only can imagine how much work it’s for you. Thanks

[@smurfmama2020]

Penny Cheek do you know what yarn and color he is using?

[@mrstlm98]

Thank you so much for making this. I haven’t been crocheting for long and you made this so easy for me to to this and feel comfortable enough with it to give as a gift. Now to find my next project.

[@calissaobviouslycannotdeci7419]

I LOVE this project! I worked right along with you and understood everything! The only thing I would like to see is different borders you can add to this! Hugs from Texas!

[@jannetteanderson5068]

[@michellethompson3083]

Carol Baesler just take time and breathe. Slow the video down a bit if its going to fast for you to keep up. You can do this!!!

[@kerrihunter6865]

[@Susan-micallef]

[@msware0104]

[@allydyer8512]

Thank you. Brilliant tutorial. I’ve tried to upload a picture of my work so far but I can’t do it. You are an inspiration 😍😍

[@mariasingh7393]

This is a beautiful blanket, you've done a great job with your tutorial. I will be making one, the hardest part is picking out which yarn to use. Thanks for your time and kindness.

[@wendyschlegel5031]

This-is-the-1st-ptrn-I-did-with-you!--Nice-work.

[@monikapaulsen8307]

Danke für die tolle Idee.

[@Vrebelrider]

Enjoyed the project, thank you, learn a new blanket stitch and perfected one I want to use in a different pattern

[@dinatheoharakis2958]

It's a fantastic pattern thank you. Yes if you can continue another video it will be very helpful.

[@Wreinie]

I have really enjoyed watching this series :) Thank you for sharing this. Sad that it ended, I was really hoping to see if you had put a border and what you chose for that border, and why :) I'm only 4 years to late to the game! Obviously, this series still generates a lot of enthusiasm from your fans :)

[@thomasinalewis5170]

This is an awesome project. I found that if you set it every time you go from the granny to the virus (spray down with water and then flatten it and let it dry it seems to lay flatter as I work along.

[@isabelveloso3360]

Thanks for the tutorial!! I will continue on until I get the desired length......

[@kathybrenneman1868]

Hi FiberSpider, I hope I can get this done. It sounds like many are struggling from the comments. I'll try anyway, even if I mess up, I'll try. Thanks for sharing this with us. You're an angel. Blessings to you and yours. Kathy B. (Fairylady0227) 💜

[@marilyngolden154]

Please continue

[@katzrule34]

Would love to see a written pattern for this and also to have more parts to this video on this pattern!!

[@raeannemery258]

Love this pattern! I agree I would like to see a border part.

[@patriciawessels-waldrich1107]

Thank you so much!

[@normacamacho6749]

Hermosísimo trabajo

[@lionqueen2290]

I love it

[@patriciariddle740]

You did a good job and I am doing this blanket. mine is at the virus again. Don't know how big it will be

[@arnitadmoore]

Please continue on to part 6

[@stillhannah1]

I am enjoying your video very much. You are a great teacher. My question is what yarn is used on the initial picture and on you shawl. I have looked at different yarn cakes and have not found these colors. On the teaching video use another color. Thank you so much for teaching so well. You are the best that I have watched.

[@carminiamolina1969]

Qe bello 😍 felicidades

[@libbypaulson5158]

U really have a lot of patience to explain everything so thoroughly but I still haven’t figured out why my work doesn’t lie flat and keeps curling

[@mellodysharon7761]

I’m making it. I love it! Are you still using the smaller hook that you switched to?

[@cherylstangle4490]

Is there a link to obtain printable directions?

[@anamakda4879]

Great video tutorials, thank you so very much! Love how easy you make it look!!! ❤️ Question: Would you please consider doing a tutorial on the “Beautiful Shells” pattern, including a shawl, too? Thanking you in advance!

[@smurfmama2020]

I would suggest a written version of this. I tried to make it and while it’s beautiful, without numbers such as how many granny groups I’m supposed to have at the end of the 6th row, something is off and it’s coming out rather warped. Maybe I’m not such an advanced crocheted but some signposts of a count at the end of each row would help.

[@dontho8845]

I hope you read the last comment that I put down there I enjoyed the blanket very much so I will send you a picture of it when I get done keep up the good work and let me know if you got my message or not D

[@allydyer8512]

More please 😀😀

[@victoriastainforth8090]

Could you do part 6 please I love it x

[@joannereinhart4182]

I followed the pattern but mine never flattened out. Oh well, frog it and off to the drawing board! Thanks!

[@araceliperez1951]

Great! Thanks!! I did one but I can't share it with you

[@andersonh36]

I have been following you since I started crocheting 2 1/2 (I learned from you). I made this shawl and am now making the blanket for my Mom. Does anyone have any idea how many yards it would take for a king size bed?

[@DianeJBaker]

Fiber Spider, Your work is fabulous!!! Thank you so much for sharing. 2 Questions? Are you by any chance going to do a written pattern for a "rectangular granny square meets virus blanket pattern" I like to crochet when I travel, and for me paper, is better than voice because I get motion sickness! not good!! :-) Im surprised I can crochet while moving??? Thank you again for sharing your beautiful projects!

[@tbauer6658]

I am trying to do this with only 4 rows of granny (a little smaller for a baby blanket). Thought it would work since its an even number but I seem to come out a little short at the corner. Any advice how to fix this ?

[@ummsalamah7711]

I wish I knew the finished measurements. Can u tell me the measurements of this tutorial blanket using the ice cream yarn??

[@magentapierrot8409]

I love this pattern. But it looks like for 3rd section of granny square stitches it needs to be 8 rounds in order to make the divisible by 11 amount necessary for continuing with the virus stitch. Can you please check on this Fiber Spider? And let us know. Otherwise, my blanket is coming out great and it is my favorite so far of any I have done. Thank you much!!

[@smurfmama2020]

Magenta Pierrot yes I think so. I’m doing this and something is off because I didn’t adjust it.

[@phillyrcj]

I paused the video on the image of his finished blanket at the end. It has virus, 6 rounds of granny, 3 repeats of virus, 6 rounds of granny, and 3 repeats of virus.
