The Nautilus Blanket Crochet Tutorial!

[@the_original112]

I’m 12 years old and this was so easy thanks for the tutorial

[@katielemons8273]

I don’t often comment on KZbin videos but this tutorial is incredible and you’re incredible for making it so easy to learn this.

[@sarahcontento9516]

I love this patter and your sense of humor.

[@donnagibson3492]

Dude, I just want you to know that you're awesome! I really enjoy the fact that some men crochet.... Most guys think it's just for women but the most beautiful works of art that I have seen are done by men! Just saying. Thank you for sharing this stunning pattern with us... Happy crocheting

[@raquelarriaga7621]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial and easy to do cool looking WIP did you block your sample in video or dis it lay easily? Trying to figure out my gauge. The eywlet frame are buckling for me

[@laurelstieg9375]

My 17 year old son just ran off with my knitting machine cord maker.He said ,this is so relaxing.lol.I have 3 sons and all this creative stuff to pass along.would be cool if he learned to crochet.😊

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

I've been crocheting for years! I once met an art therapist who worked with at-risk youth, and she taught them to crochet. Some of the toughest young guys were so proud of their accomplishments!

[@KristenEwan]

Crochet is how I meditate!

[@TriciaV]

The best thing about this channel is that there are no mistakes in the pattern. I have used patterns from other channels only to get half way through and there are so many mistakes I can’t complete the project. I was trying to make a semicircle pineapple pattern. Had to stop after 19 rows and take it all apart. Thank you.

[@392Lesley]

I don't normally like the American videos because I'm in the UK and the different terminology for stitches confuses me as a beginner, but you are such a good teacher I can easily follow you.

[@KristenEwan]

I absolutely LOVE following your videos! I’ve made 5 of these in two years! All my grand babies have one! Thank you for being FUN and super easy to follow. I appreciate you.

[@thalassophile1665]

Do you have photos posted anywhere?

[@ladywindzephyr7540]

That was the GREATEST opening I've ever seen!!! You are utterly awesome!!!

[@SynfullyWkd67]

I agree with the comment about adding a 7th loop. It does prevent it from needing blocking.

[@ThisSouthernGirlCan]

I love this! For the ones asking for a written pattern, just watch the video and write it down. It’s not hard.

[@debbieguest8462]

Thank you! I just found your videos! You are a great teacher!!! & So hilarious!!! It is awesome to see a man crochet & share what he's learned! You also bring back beautiful memories! A dear friend of my family in the 70's. "HE" was an ICU nurse at night in our local VA hospital. He learned to crochet to do something as he watched over his patients. He made small lapghans & then would give them to his patients!! I was a teenager then & didn't crochet. I learned about 39 yrs ago. Doug was an inspiration to me. I donate to those in need or to someone that needs a lift! Thank you! Be blessed!

[@Stiches530]

I am definitely trying this when I’m done with the project I’m on now. I’m trying to stick to my guns and finish a project before I start another, but when I see a video like this it makes me want to break my own rule lol. I love your voice also it’s so soothing.

[@marilyncox7319]

I have made several false starts on other baby blankets but as I get older find it harder to concentrate. I was determined to avoid the granny stitches and this nautilus blanket is perfect for me. Thank you for explaining it so well and so cheerfully. It is coming along nicely and I love it, and you. Thanks again so much.x x x x x

[@prophetmelvinholmes3275]

I'm working on this now...I love your videos you walk us thru them and make it so easy. For me that is great because I am a visual and hands on learner I can never go by the patterns, so your videos are a jewel to me and I thank you so so much for sharing your gift with us. Blessings and can't wait to finish this so I can go to the next project.

[@blueak3111]

Your intro had me in...stitches. HILARIOUS!

[@JenJourney]

😂😂😂

[@trinahixson6595]

Love the pattern! I used Bernat super value big stripes and after 6 balls of yarn it came to about 49 inches. The finished project was well worth it.

[@deborahreek4700]

How cool! I had fun learning and relearning (do-overs) and fun listening to our great teacher-dude who loves crocheting SO much it's contagious and zippy. Can't wait to finish and start another! Thank you!

[@florenceknarr171]

Oh you are wonderful. I just began nursing school so when I take a break, I wanted something mindless to let my brain relax from all the memorization. We found two big caron cakes at a Goodwill store that happen to match my dining room. I have a papasan and wanted to make a round blanket for it. I happened upon your video and I could not be more pleased. You gave me everything I was looking for in a decompression project. Love you so much. I am one happy clam!!

[@debbiejohnson952]

Ah Fiber 🕷️ you gave me a good laugh Wednesday.On a very sad day my Brother has been battling throat Cancer has moved out of our House into a care center..I am sick too but I have made several things of yours and Love all the new patterns.Thank you Ms .Dee

[@melodysmelodies9502]

What a fun pattern! Whenever I want a wonderful project to relax Fiber Spider always has a great pattern to offer!! Forever grateful!! Happy Crocheting my fellow crocheters.

I am left handed and still can follow you. It is so easy!!You are the mack of crocheting!!!! I love this.

[@stefaniledbetter8762]

Could listen to you for hours! This IS my next project. Thank you!

[@ceceliamccalman6327]

You are soooo amazing ......trying to keep up with all your new ideas .... so far I'll have to live another 80 years just to catch up! Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@melissamiksza1253]

I love every pattern you've done! This one is next on my list. I started with the Lost Souls pattern and you've made every step so easy to understand. Thank you soooo much!!

[@GrannyReplica]

Looks amazing and the pattern really is simple. Simple things end up as the most eye-catching once they grow to their full size.

[@lizjo7213]

You never cease to amaze me!!! I really think you should ask Lion Brand...another KZbinr said she just asked Red Heart and they said "ok" since she was using their yarn to make items...

[@joannekundra4155]

Love a pattern that I can work on while watching TV and not having to worry about messing up the pattern. Thanks so much for something simple and beautiful.

[@Me-dl1tx]

I've made 3 of these and I LOVE this pattern! Super easy pattern, yet interesting and intricate look. I've even created a little embellishments to attach onto the middle. So, so fun!! Thank you for teaching me something easy and fun!❤

[@chrisgoddard4032]

Came across this video from a while back while just looking thru your channel. Looks great and I’ve already started it. Can’t wait to finish. May stay up late tonight to work on it. Thanks Spider for all your beautiful patterns

[@eleanormcneal4592]

-You are awesome. Your instructions are so clear. I have made 4 of these. The great thing is it takes no time at all. Thank you. Look forward to seeing and working with your other videos.

[@pennymiles1039]

Luved the intro. It was awesome!! What a great pattern. Thanks for all you do. Happy you had a podcast last night. My goodness, I think you must never sleep

[@suebob16]

I really appreciated your simple and effective presentation. Your good camera and lighting made it easy to see what you were doing and easy for me to follow. I look forward to seeing how this blanket turns out for me when I'm done.

[@kaystill8046]

Love your videos, so easy to follow. I have trouble reading patterns. Since I have been watching, I have made items that I never dreamed of making before. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much!!

[@peggybroome8896]

Thank you, I love this pattern and your instructions are very easy to follow. I wanted a looser stitch so I used a HDC instead of SC, the results was amazing!

[@clarissapriest1289]

So you did HDC instead of where he did sc. Did you still only chain 4?

[@aprilruthhoffmann6014]

@@clarissapriest1289 wame question here! I have a pattern that does this same design in double crochet but I prefer video tutorials to patterns. I would love to be able to do this math myself.

[@clarissapriest1289]

You are my favorite person to watch!!! I just learned how to crochet in November 2018 and I'm already doing your virus stitch blanket....this is my next project!!! Thank you!!!

I just found this tutorial! I wanted to make table toppers for my living room so I'm going to make it the size I need. I love it!❤

You are the best. Started this project for my granddaughter's Christmas present. Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have done the stars blanket and looks so pretty.

[@moondance208]

After watching this video and seeing how easy the pattern is, I've started making one. It's a nice project for watching TV as there is no counting and little paying attention. :-) Thank you!

[@wendyjacobs.9659]

I want to thank you again for this pattern I think I have become obsessed with it. I currently have 5 different colorways going two of them with are for my two great nephews coming in September. It works up beautifully in baby yarn.

[@ruthannmolyneaux478]

What a wonderful project! After all we live in a spiral galaxy. Thank you, Fiber Spider. I totally enjoyed this.

[@dalebaughman5830]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been waiting for you to do the spiral because the last one I tried wasn't laying down and I couldn't figure out why so I frogged it. I'm having less problems following your videos because you take the time to explain as you go along. You're slower and not in a rush to get projects done. That extra time is something I can relate because I'm not very fast at crocheting. Loads of love and many, many hugs!!!!💞💘💞

[@zoed.3216]

How did you get it to lay flat? I’m still having issues with that

[@kayhurst5941]

You are so funny and you make me smile as I learn to crochet with you I just love love love you’re intro thanks for making me laugh out loud Kay

[@patriciamackenziie1697]

Your instruction is so clear and your voice very calming....love this pattern

[@memysefani]

I love this!!! When I started the vid- my sound was off so I didn’t hear the “twilight zone “intro I just thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!!! Funny stuff! Then I immediately subscribed! Will definitely try this out. What a great teacher w/ a great sense of humor!

[@jessienycole9740]

I absolutely loved this video. The way you explained the instructions were so easy to follow. I will be definitely making one of these blankets for my little sister. After I finish some hanger projects that I have started..and your intro was so awesome and amazing.

[@abitofwhimsie]

I have made a couple of these now and I love them! Thank you ! One thing I like doing is increasing the size of my hook as the blanket starts to increase in size. It’s s great optical effect.

[@purplebutterfly3568]

Is this difficult? I've been crocheting for a year now. Id like to try something different

[@Tadi3a]

What exactly does the size change do. It is an intriguing idea.

[@KbellzCrochet]

Is it normal for it to roll up in the beginning? I haven’t gotten too far in and it’s curled up. I don’t want to continue if it’s just going to keep curling.

[@momgrandma5496]

Your intro cracked me up, brought me back to the 60s...scary. Totally mindless crocheting, chain 4, 2 chains in the space, remember to not single crochet in the last single crochet, such a cool effect. I’m still going through your older videos, before I subscribed to your channel...fun.

[@jenniechan950]

Ooo soo pretty. I just started this blanket. Only as a side project. Using caron cakes in I believe it's jelly roll. Thank you for sharing and amazing pattern.

Great intro! I love your teaching style and look forward to your videos each week. Thank you for all your efforts, I appreciate you!

I love this!! I don't like making blankets at all, buuuuuuuuuut, after watching and following along with this tutorial, I am having a blast making the one. I'm using Mandala Cakes, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!! Thank you 😊 ❤❤❤❤

[@LeafHobbit]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It is very easy to understand and I was able to start a spiral blanket no problem. I’ve tried other tutorials and they just were a little too complicated for me but this will be so helpful in using up my yarn. Looking forward to checking out your other videos! 😊🌻

[@suzannekaster4462]

Hi Kate. I want to make this for my grandaughters 21st bday. She has always been my Sunshine so I want to do this in yellows. How many yards did you use if I may ask for a decent sized blanket for an adult?

[@ivylady13]

I love the idea that it doesn't lay flat, it give it a three dimensional look. Wish I could post a pic of the one I did here.

[@teresaolofson8187]

Angel i am CRAZY for your fun and your peace and your support :)

[@michellefryar518]

Dude, you are hilarious, I love watching and listening to yiuyou

[@tessaconmy3290]

Thank you for the pattern, I was able to tweak it a bit for an idea I had. The first thing I tweaked was stacking the single crochets in the back loops only to make a ribbed effect. The second tweak I did was in the third single crochet stack, the last stitch I did I made it into a treble crochet stitch and did a front loop stitch to the first single crochet row. It’s going to be a nice pattern once I see how it grows.

[@lashinka2574]

Thank you for this video! I'm making this for my 5 year old (at her request. Lol), and it's an awesome, easy video to follow, but I also love your voice too. It's so relaxing. ❤

I'm starting this as soon as I can get my hands on the yarn. I just love your tutorials, you're so very thorough, lots of support and advice. As usual an amazing pattern, truly stunning (and I never use that overused word, but it fits here), thank you so much for your time and energy. I just love your game channel. It reminds me of the times when I would crochet while my boys would play (maybe I played too) and we would try to solve the puzzles together. Thank you for the memories. You're the best.

[@dalordofcheese]

Adri Prejna hey saw your comment on the nautilus blanket video. Do you know with each round does it increase how many stitches.. like ch 4 then 2 single crochet then the next stitches leaving the last empty. I just started it and after row 5;of the video I have 5 stitches to go into instead of the four she shows. So does each time around increase this? Does this make sense? Lol

[@dalordofcheese]

After the chain 4 then 2 single crochet the. The single crochet in the next holes. Do these holes increase with every round? Like in video it shows on row five that you have four holes so crochet 3 and skip the fourth. So in round six would there be 5 holes? Four you crochet In And skip the fifth?

[@Mamooshka220]

@@dalordofcheese Hi James... My apologies! I should check my email more often. Yes! I don't understand the physics of how it works, but the pattern increases on itself. No need to count, just make sure you're skipping that last stitch before the chain 4 from the previous round... And don't forget to chain 4 to start a new section. I made that mistake and had to frog an entire round (it's gotten pretty big now). Good luck!

Totally agree, loved the original in black and white. Rod Serling, loved his voice. I do recall they did a movie in the early 80's. That ended tragically during the filming. Anyway, thanks again for all the work and time you put into your tutorials. Love listening to your live chats!
