[@maureensellers1008]

I absolutely love your tutorials....little funnies in between is so enjoyable...thank you Mr F Spider for entertaining us as you go....love it

[@tabithablackwellsamsel963]

Fiber Spider, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the fact that you record the ENTIRE process of making your projects, START to FINISH!!! You take your time and I personally appreciate that!! ALSO, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you have each individual round as well, start to finish with time stamp below your videos!! I think i speak for everyone when i say THANK YOU!!!! Those are just a couple of things that i wanted to say! So this is the 3rd beanie tutorial of yours that i've followed along and finished and i absolutely LOVE them! As do my friends and family who receive them! The first beanie i made following your tourtotial was the basketweave, I've made so many now that i don't even need to follow along with your tutorial anymore. Occasionally, i may need to so thanks again for being such a fantastic teacher. To be honest i've tried this stitch following a couple of other youtubers (whom i will not name) however I have NOT been able to successfully finish them. So I'm counting on your expertise, attitude, encouragement and tidbits of suggestion to carry me through!! I have NOT one doubt in my ability to achieve this goal with your guidance!! You really are fantastic, keep doing what you're doin and again thank you!! 🧶Sincere Subscriber - TabiBwell 🧶

[@melissablake5157]

Everything that was said above and my favorite was the time stamping too😊

[@charlottevillagomez9428]

You make the best teacher ever...appreciate how you take it slow and very easy to understand..thank you for such a great tutorial..

[@peggyshepherd90]

Totally enjoy your teaching, so easy to understand.Slow and simple.

[@barbsdee3831]

I know I’m late to the party, I’ve been watching your channel on and off for a few months. I’m in my 60s and only learnt to crochet a year ago from my daughter (it’s usually the other way round 😄). I’ve finally subscribed, keep up with the great tutorials 🇬🇧😘

[@markjoll4825]

What an awesome tutorial. Thank you.

[@pattimercer4773]

You are an expert at giving instructions. I love how you show the stitches close up. I made this hat and it turned out exactly as it should have. I had to tear some rows down, only because I wasn’t paying attention to where I was. Lol. I haven’t found any videos with such detail. I also have made several of your waffle hats. Crocheting with your guidance has made it such fun. Looking forward to trying other projects of yours. Thank You so much!!

[@ribacatdoherty4123]

😊 I love your calm energy and the details always cover all it! Ty😊

[@prodno9]

Man you are the best I get so many compliments on the hats u taught me

[@janesawers8855]

You are awesome. I have been learning how to Crochet on KZbin since August 2021, so I'm very new to Crocheting. I'm a lefthander so i do have a lot of difficulties learning but watching your tutorial i have managed to make this beanie/hat. I'm supa proud. Thankyou

[@vanitharaghunathan1044]

I just completed one beanie with the help of your tutorial. You are an awesome teacher. Your voice is so soothing. Thank you so much and God bless you ❤

[@vivianhayes4896]

Thank you so much for this video. I have made two hats and am working on my third. I gotta say, though, my whole right side of my body was in pain. Whew, baby.

[@PBSweeney0516]

I just finished this hat last night and can’t wait to make another one. Thank you for this pattern and your great instructional video.

[@susandowns9383]

I love this pattern & his tutorials

[@hnelson5609]

These tutorials help me learn new stitches I've put off learning. Plus I'm making gifts for friends, family and myself at the same time. Really enjoyable skill upgrade for me. Thank you!

[@ulrikekopylec9364]

I followed a lot of tutorials, you are the best Teacher . So easy to follow your instructions.

[@brendajones8073]

[@rrkurup19]

I happened to chance upon one of your videos while browsing you tube for crochet beanies...Divine design hat caught my attention and I started trying to create it. However I couldn't finish it as my yarn got over and I couldn't find a matching colour. Then I tried this design and I am very Happy to inform you that I completed this beanie and I am proud of how good I was and it's all thanks to you and your methods of teaching. Thank you so much.

[@joankirby9069]

Thanks!

[@maureensellers1008]

I agree Ro Wellman, he is wonderful - explains so nicely and makes the project fun...thank you for yet another winner of a pattern. I am making beanies for Cancer patients in East London, South Africa - so wanting to different patterns for the patients.....

[@52oldtimerocker]

Just finishing up this hat. Really pretty. So appreciate finding these patterns that work from the top down and your directions are always so easy to follow. I feel good about donating hats from your videos because they're so nice. Thank you for posting these.

[@amandahugginkiss61]

This hat and your waffle stitch hat are my most popular male styles. Thank you for posting! You’re always so thorough in your tutorials. This makes a fantastic set with just a simple basket weave scarf. I love the Bernard crushed velvet. Such a lovely presentation for a gift.

[@anagha1311]

Hi ...awesome teaching done 2 hats with the help of your guidance..thank you

[@kathywilliams7156]

Hi… You are the best teacher….I luv your work as well as your videos… Thank you

[@cyndycolley2569]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I tried reading a pattern for a basket weave hat and was lost. You explain everything step by step in wonderful detail. I was worried my stitches were off when you quit counting them. But I followed you and the hat came out beautifully!

[@cammac4880]

Love how you crochet this hat. I have been crocheting for over 50 years and I learnt something new. Bravo young man.

[@elvahernandez2954]

Great. Ideo. Awesome teaching. Looking forward to learning all of your tips. God bless.

[@alisaibberson767]

You are an awesome teacher. Thank you so much for going slowly.

[@TheKellyHaggerty]

I am absolutely in love with your unforgettable hat!

[@ednaacevedo-mendez8769]

I've become so addicted to your tutorials and the ease of following you, that in 3 days I have made 4 hats and a cowl collar. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[@bobbieflecken9191]

What a gift you have instructing. I had made a basket weave scarf and wanted a cap to match. I made my cap as I followed along with you. I love it and was surprised at how easy it was. Thank you.

[@allisonchavez9113]

I want to do a scarf to match. I just asked fiber spider if he could teach

[@lorrainejohnson6985]

thank you so much for your very easy to follow video this is my 3rd attempt at the basket weave hat, I was ready to give up until I found your tutorial, love the way you explain every step, thanks again :)

[@elneetasharpe4672]

You are the best teacher! Please do a tutorial on brioche knitting. I can only learn that from you! 😊👍🏼

[@abc-wv4in]

Cute hat! Thank you so much for giving so much detail to the ends and beginnings of rounds, which is where I usually have trouble. You're a great teacher.

[@susandowns9383]

Ombre color is great for this pattern. ❤

[@nancyshinn2037]

I agree with that last statement. I enjoy your videos every one! You help me stay fascinated. I think I love you! You give me "fun". Honestly I didn't think crochet could be so addictively fun. Anyway, love to you and happiness.

[@barbaramcdevitt7786]

Great video. I made this hat and had no problem following along. Thank you for explaining why you chain up and not count it as a stitch! I never knew why before. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@normandalman1729]

Just want to say you made this really simple to learn and I appreciate that I haven't ever crocheted before but I made a bet with a female I could make a hat cuz I wanted a cool winter hat ya know thanks to you I won 🎉 you're a good teacher my hat looks awesome 👌

[@FiberSpider]

@@normandalman1729 congratulations to you!

[@normandalman1729]

@FiberSpider im about to try and do your celtic weave one now and thanks again for being pretty thorough and making this possible for me

[@kassieerdman1427]

​@normandalman1729 that one is actually one of my favorites! I have made several beanies with that pattern!

[@Moizel]

Your voice and Narration is addictive

[@loidagsantos7223]

Easy to follow tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I have made one for myself and it looks good and well fitted on my head. I made in in purple; I will make one in white. Thanks again, Mr Spider :-)

[@freda45]

I don't know if you look at comments on your older videos but tried to make the celtic weave hat and just couldn't gat it. I was using carron soft yarn and had difficulty with seeing definition I have never done front posts and back posts before. So I went to a simpler hat pattern, the basket weave hat to learn how to do the post thing. Learning so much from you, thank you

[@pamdyle9292]

I cannot thank you enough for this pattern. I made 31 of your waffle stitch hats in 2 weeks for Christmas presents. Thank you once again.

Just made this with Red Heart Super Saver Aran Fleck #4. It took me a few seconds to figure how to reduce the size (Managed it) and I topped off the brim with the crab stitch. I'm lovin' It. I plan to make bath mats with this stitch. The cushiness of it is absolutely amazing. Thank you, Fiber Spider, for all you do.
