Ooh Fiber Spider, Christmas 2019 I took a bad fall and hurt my right hand quite bad. Have had two surgeries and have not recovered all my fine motor skills.mi had tried and tried but crocheting did not seem to be in my wheelhouse. I was very distraught about this. But I got some very good news, I am to be a grandmother! Well there was no way that I was not crocheting for this little angel. I put this tutorial on half speed and I did it. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it has meant the world to me.

[@iDontKnit12]

I am late to THIS party but your patterns have been blessing me for years and I love these new (to me) gems! Thank you!!! 🧶🤗

[@lindacrott7638]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have tried it several times with other instructors. You are an excellent teacher. I love the way you show the close-ups of the stitch as you are, crocheting makes it very easy to follow. I am also going to be trying the rectangle.

[@veronicaharms913]

I almost never repeat a pattern but im on my 3rd waffle blanket and im still so in love!

[@heatherbaker3903]

You have the most awesome personality for crochet tutorials. You are so fun to crochet with and even when I'm working on other projects, I watch your tutorials to keep me company just because of your personality. Keep going, love your stuff! Have learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@scottpmcq]

I’m following along while 2 hours into a gummy and i heard you say that I was so “sqoooshy” and lost it. Thank you for the comic relief.. :)

[@debrawilson9314]

I love this pattern I am making it for my grandson for Christmas, you are so good with going slow and talking in plain easy to understand instructions, thank you have a wonderful blessed day

[@billadair2288]

You are a genius! And now I’m going to look for the waffle shawl! I really love all of your patterns that I’ve tried and this one is no exception!! Thank you for sharing your gift Best regards, Suzy

[@gerryrouse7537]

I’ve used many if your pattern/tutorials throughout the years. Including this one. Just love your work, creativity and thoroughness. Thank you from the heart ❤️

[@alinamatete7784]

You are a shining star!

[@cynthiahayden5213]

he is such a great teacher. i have been trying this pattern for a year and when i found this guy i finally got it. thank-you very much, cindy

[@sandrahafner8385]

THANK-YOU FIBER SPIDER! This blanket is wonderful and squishy and squashy! I am making this for my 25 year old son, whom has moved back home during this hard time in this world to help me with my husband, his Dad, whom has had a few strokes, and is high risk. I am working at home for a Financial Institution, so it is the least I can do to make such a beautiful blanket for him for everything he does for our family. IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!! Thank you so much!!!

[@marywalker3395]

Thank you. I love it. It’s a lot more fun to make than doing side to side. It grows a lot quicker. Love love love it. 😘😘😘😘

[@samantharosfeld4835]

I really enjoyed seeing a non white or cream color of yarn being used. It is so easy to see what you're doing. Watching your videos have helped me gain confidence in my crocheting and bring myself out of a beginner stage. I've been crocheting for ten years self taught. Thank you very much 😊😊😊😊

[@danielleweaver5098]

With this virus keeping everyone home, I've been crocheting ALOT. I bought a spool of the 100% cotton and decided everyone was getting trivets this year for Christmas. I do 10 rounds of this waffle stitch. Pots come right off the stove of out of the oven and on to the trivet. Thank you Fiber Spider I LOVE this pattern.

[@downsizingontenacres.5927]

Thank you for repeating the rows. Really helps. Beautiful stitch!💙

[@missmouse8839]

Omg making this with pound of love pastel green and I love it. Wish I could put a picture here but it's going to be an adorable baby blanket

[@dawnfinniss7978]

This is so much better than going in rows....especially with self striping yarn! Thank you!

[@bettybarnes553]

Love this waffle stitch been crocheting for years n never too old to learn new stitches. Thank you!!

[@leahdhuerta1266]

Your THE VERY BEST TEACHER!!!! I really thought this was going to be so difficult and was a bit intimidated by how complex this beautiful piece looked but you are absolutely amazing at guiding and teaching!! I can't give you enough praise!!! Mine looks exactly like yours and it was so easy to do thanks to your thorough steps. Thank you so much for teaching me these beautiful stitches!!! I'm a beginner but feel like a pro thanks to you!!! You have truly found your calling!! Please don't ever stop! And I absolutely love granny squares and am always looking for different variations of them...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@susandowns9383]

I crocheted a waffle stitch hat last winter in an ombre...turned out beautiful! Just the right thickness. I was watching a post trying to explain how to do the square. Didn't make a lot of sense. Then I found you!! You explain everything so well.

[@irenefogelsong6468]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I'm going to make 3 squares out of stiff linen yarn and connect them into a fabulous shoulder bag 😍

[@mariapadilla7417]

Love the waffle stitch. Thank you Fiber Spider. I’ve been looking for a thick stitch to make for an afghan for my brother that lives in Ohio. For 2 days I’ve been looking and sampling and here you come this morning!! Well I’ve started and I’m half way finished. 😊 Love your crochet tutorials always looking forward to them. Saving this video for future use. I have other afghans to do in future. Have a great weekend and keep hooking!

[@TracyHuffmanWFG3]

I am in LOVE with this pattern! I just started my second afghan. The first one was gifted to a friend. This next one is all for me! 😁 Thank you so very much for this one ❤❤❤

[@joiebanda3940]

I really love your tutorials. Your voice is so smoothing and friendly . I love your designs as well. BTW, you might want to highlight that that for the corners , you alternated two doubles and one double. This is were I got confused. But over-all I love the manner that you conduct your tutorials. I also watched your waffle beannie. I love it. Thanks.

[@heidigeib2365]

Thank you! I love the waffle stitch! This is very interesting doing in the round instead of back & forth.

[@hasting06]

I love your videos! I appreciate how you do just enough rounds so that we can really understand the repeats. I'm so excited to learn this. It is turning out awesome.

[@KATEBROWN-ph7fs]

Dealing w a bit of cognative decline here and thought perhaps returning to some patterns I had once sort of learned would help. It has taken me quite a while however, thanks to your careful teaching I feel as if II am making progress. Thank you so much.

[@patriciariesett9667]

💜 your videos 💜 your sense of humor...don't ever stop doing them PLEASE!

[@barryjacobs8524]

I have tried other waffle squares, but yours is simply the best. So much easier to follow. I Thankyou very much my little chickadee. Jennifer x.

[@barryjacobs8524]

Thank you for such a beautiful tutorial. I know where I went wrong when I did it a while back but watching and writing down everything you say, I think I’ve got. Love your videos and Thankyou once again! (Jennifer).❤

[@laureyleighton5142]

I live this stitch thinking of making a baby afghan. You are such a good teacher you make it so easy to follow you work. Keep up the good work.

[@JazzyJude]

💜 Wow! The scientific of understanding which stitch to use (fpdc & dc) is amazing!!!

[@wendyschmidt4339]

This is my favorite stitch for baby play mat 🥶Here in Northwoods Wisconsin USA 💕🙏🏻🌹 Thank you and Stay safe

[@thequietknitter9107]

Thank you! Had to frog a few times. But once I started seeing the waffle pattern emerge...it all made sense! 🤩

[@dlk7576]

WOW!!!! I love this pattern!!! I also really need to give a very strong Thumbs Up to Fiber spider. Your tutorials are fabulous! I love watching them and following along. I feel Your very calm and create a nice warm friendly feeling for your followers. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and your video tutorials for all us fiber art lovers.

[@glendahunning449]

So happy you are doing this one for us. I watched a few others and you by far explain it so much better. I have been missing you. Glenda Hunning (Meme)

[@BudderBean]

I’ve made created around 30 Afghans in the past 2 yrs, This one I just finished is by far my absolute Favourite ❤️ Thank you soooooo much !

[@sharonbaillif2026]

That's a lot of afghans. Where are you located. Minnesota here.

[@lbluebird342]

Oh, it's 4/16/23 & I do hope u hv recovered from ur fall & ur hand has healed 100%. Begin taking Glucosamine Chondroitin (per ur Dr's approval, of course) & it may help keep the arthritis to a minimum as u age. I'm 71 & it's good for lubricating the joints as cartilage wears down. Many things happen when u fall... trust me I know due to spinal issues worsening from a fall. So, NO MORE FALLING young man! Watch every step, never take chances & start healthy!! It's my 1st time to watch & ❤️ how u started the waffle pattern w/such enthusiasm!!! Yes, it is 'squishy & soft' & fabulous for a winter afghan. I also ❤ the fall colors & the blue multi as well... just ❤️ ❤ them both. Will definitely make an identical to ur fall one & only bringing it out in the fall. It won't be made this year but I'll start it this fall & finishfor next yr... it's TRULY GORGEOUS!!! ❤. Thank u so much for a GREAT video! I got a bit confused at first, but it's a sweet pattern & I'm enjoying it. Just started it in shades of grays (still uncertain how many rows I'll do b4 changing to the next shade & then will throw in 2 or 4 rows of black to pop it & separate the group of grays & then start over w/grays again till desired length. It's for a guy who delivers my bottled water. He bought a house & is single, so I thought he might enjoy an afghan. I asked him his fav colors & hope he'll like the design I chose... I do. I really enjoyed u teaching it to me!!! I felt so relaxed bcuz u just seem so yourself & made it fun! U spoke distinctly too, which is important, without having to rewind often to hear their instructions. God bless u on ur YT journey & ur crocheting adventures. Wishing u much success! L 😊

[@kaarahall7256]

Love this pattern. Your voice and easy to follow directions make this a wonderful tutorial.

[@Kathy-ix8qw]

So glad to have come across this while looking for waffle tutorials. Exactly what I wanted. Thank you for putting forth such excellent videos and teaching so well. Yes, repeating the rows is so helpful. I am so glad to have found your channel.

[@virginiabugbee5973]

Had to smile when I saw this. I am doing a square shawl in number 10 cotton thread, just like this with a single opening. Based on your shawl, of course. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@samasonedderman]

I missed most of this darned video! Because! That '2 front post, and a regular ', actually lulled me into a light sleep! Such a beautiful piece and I couldn't stay awake for it!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm getting some coffee and trying again! I'm an insomniac,! You my friend, have done what my G. P. couldn't! 🤣🤣. I guess I know who to listen to about bedtime from now on.♥️👍🏾. Stella

[@chrismalzahn8645]

Thank you x3! This is the first video of this stitch that actually makes sense to me! Subscribed!

[@momonamission4651]

I love this tutorial! This is my second time making this blanket since the quarantine started. Blessings to you virtual friend! ☕

[@kathwhit6462]

I, too, love this waffle weave Pattern And the colors. How many yards/cakes did you use? Thanks, your quarantine comment encourages me to keep going.

[@msjocsable]

Thank you so much I was having difficulty trying out this pattern but stitching along with you has made this so much better!

[@pamkirkpatrick7534]

Yay! What a great tutorial💜 It took me three tries over the course of four months, but I kept on stitchin! Thanks so much.

[@bonnieb.kundert6029]

THANK YOU for this pattern and tutorial. I have been wanting to learn this stitch for a long time, but could never find a tutorial that gave the easy-to-follow instructions that you gave! I can finally make a nice throw with this pattern. You are an awesome teacher!!!! Thanks again!

[@cyndymoelter1198]

I started this blanket today. Working with 4 colors for a baby blanket. Thank you so much for this great tutorial. You see it on KZbin when I'm done.

[@debrashuff9404]

Just finished my 8th waffle weave shawl. Will be doing this for sure! Can do the shawl with 3 cakes in 3 days. Tutorial was fabulously easy to follow.

[@sandragriffiths9692]

Wow, well done you, I have done one and am about to start another one. 👌👍😁

[@michellemeredith6286]

Thankyou fibrespider for a great instructional video. My waffle blanket is growing rapidly 😊

[@rachelcarson9680]

Hi I'm from Scotland UK and this is my first time trying this stitch and u made it so easy to follow so thank you very much I love it ❤️

[@darthlaurel]

Thanks for these very clear instructions. Interesting pattern and a great option for blankets for kids in hospitals.

[@rebeccarabbitz5924]

You are soooo fun and easy to follow. Love that this video is longer than normal instructionals so that you can walk me through it longer! Thank you!

[@3blackcatscrochet363]

You are killing me!! So many awesome patterns and not fast enough!! Spoilt for choice, thank you Craig! 🧶😀🕷️🕸️

[@BWQK1]

[@cathybrelza5055]

Love it love it love it. I have a lot of projects on the go ( I always finish what I start) and some are very fiddlee so it is so nice to have a rhythmic project. Thank you for your generosity and sharing. May blessings rain down upon you Craig

[@happyhooker71]

You have the best patterns. I always look to see what you have before I start a new afghan. 👍

[@1inYeshuaFlock]

Thank you Fiber Spider for this tutorial. I have some cotton yarn with long color changes and wanted to make a baby blanket with this stitch. I tried several other videos and had a hard time following the instructions. But once again you explained each step in clear and concise examples. You are the Best! I appreciate all you do for us fellow Crocheters ❤️🧶🕷

[@emanuelasbordi3847]

My most sincere compliments for your ability in crocheting and explaining. I have already made a blanket and just started another one. This is my favourite pattern ever. Best regards from Italy.

[@dianeball4272]

This is beautiful...I love watching you. Your a fabulous teacher💕❤😃😄

[@geethatscreative]

This is an awesome pattern. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have been crocheting since I was 12 years old (i'll be 60 this summer) I learn a lot from your tutorials. I am doing this one in a self striping yarn. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thanks again.

[@jackieserrano2845]

I love this pattern..always did it the long way. You do a great job explaining how to do it as well making it a joy to do. Thank you!

[@jamiecee4960]

Did not know you could do this like a Granny Square. One of my favorite stitches and so easy. So pretty.

[@melissaclay2912]

Thank you for going all the way around the rows. Such good instructions. I was able to do it 😊

[@lorrainelawrence7035]

What a beautiful blanket! love the colors. Thank you for this video. I put it into my "watch later" list so I have it for later. I know that I will be making more than one of this blanket!!

[@Tlynn86CG]

Oh, I absolutely LOVE this pattern! Using Lion Brand Cupcake with 5mm. Turning out beautifully. Thanks!!

[@femalemailman]

I love both the rectangle and the square waffle that you’ve demonstrated. I am making both!! Thanks so much!!🧶🌸

[@annemcfarland5390]

Loving this pattern. Even though I'm in the UK and we have to be different. 🤭. It's so easy once you get into the rhythm of it. 👏👏😍😁

[@carolwhitehead6209]

thank you Fiber Spider for such a lovely easy tutorial to follow this blanket is ideal it's quick-growing lovely and soft, I have just joined a knitting and crochet group who make blankets and hats for preemie babies, I am disabled housebound and this gets me out the house for an hour and a half really loved my first session and I am back there tomorrow can't wait to show them this new pattern thank you you are a gem

[@einarvindenes9509]

The best tutorial i seen so fare about waffle stitch. Greetings from norway in Europa 😊

[@ShadowLarkHill]

Thanks for taking the time to make, record and share this beautiful blanket with us. Greetings from Mexico City.

[@tammytaylor9638]

You have the best tutorial for this pattern. Thank you for sharing your talent and thoughts.

[@TheKellyHaggerty]

I love the waffle stitch so much. You are so creative 🎉

[@DownSouth08]

I really enjoy your video tutorials. I’m not a fan of the Granny Square that you love, but I do love this design. I’m rather new to the crochet world and I’m giving this one a try. Love your attitude and instructions. Also love your choice of colors. Thank you.

[@noreengabbay696]

Thank you Fiber Spider. You are a very good teacher. I made a baby blanket after this beautiful pattern.

[@maxiengorry2936]

I've been back and forth about doing this for so very long. I load the video, watch it then decide against it because I know how much of a yarn eater the Waffle stitch is. This time, though. I have 10 skeins of 800m Aran (worsted) yarn that I want to use up but no pattern that will complement it... Then I remembered this one 😁👍 I'll definitely be able to relax and watch TV whilst doing this one. It doesn't seem to require as much attention as the side-to-side waffle. I too had back post stitches too lol

[@debbiehughes4975]

Thank you - you are such a great teacher.. I keep coming back to your page to lean a new stitch.

[@davegah6282]

watching this again, need to use the tons of yar sitting around. You simply are the best tutor and I lovd the intros, those little hhhmms giggles and so many more of your quirks!. Not to forget the projects lol! I really wantvto make a nice cardigan, so tutorial please , Thank you xx

[@lolitaholder288]

You have done it again. Beautiful, I love it.Thanks.

[@josielovehart831]

I love this pattern and your tutorial is very easy to understand an otherwise complicated pattern for a fairly new crocheter like me. Thank you!

[@barbarashaw6936]

I like most of your patterns, I have tried the waffle stitch and love it, as a matter of fact it has become one of my favorite stitch, right now I am making my newest great grand daughter a blanket with the waffle stitch. Love how it is coming out.

[@jannetteanderson5068]

This Canadian gal loves your tutorials & I've made many of these waffle stitch blankets. I'm presently making one for a baby in a variegated which the colors transition slowly using Lions Brand Ice Cream Big Scoop in the colorway of black cherry & it's turning out amazing. I will be making a baby beanie using the waffle stitch in a dark lilac color as the colors in this blanket are white, light mauve, dark mauve & light pink. It's going to be absolutely gorgeous. Love all your tutorials & thank you so very much. You are an amazing teacher....................

[@lauraneville5872]

I love the waffle stitch. I made a sweater for my five year old grandson and he loves it. It's soft and squishy.

[@wendyalisongreen]

I'm so excited that you did this tutorial. I couldn't wait to get started. Thank you for yet again another superb tutorial

[@slykat28_15]

So easy to follow! Was my first try with the waffle stitch and now it's easy??? Such a good explanation and will definitely follow more xx thank you!!

[@astraturner3508]

Just came across this beautiful pattern. Getting ready to start my first one. Love your tutorials!

[@kuriheka]

Love this pattern cannot wait to try it. So much different in the square. Once again thank you for being so thorough and making it easy to create beautiful blankets.

[@lynntapella1711]

Love your tutorials and the color choices of your yarn. You have great taste Craig.

[@laurielkaraska515]

What a great pattern, Once again you did a wonderful teaching video 💕

[@poweringon864]

loving this one, glad i found your channel

[@niamhfox9559]

I've frogged some nice wool several times because the patterns didn't suit the blanket i wanted to make out of it, this one is perfect! thank you!

[@tracyreid1670]

I had forgotten all about this video until a very nice fellow crocheter mentioned it when we started talking over the discount yarn bin at Michael's. I have some Bernat Velvet that is going to become some big throw pillow covers in this pattern. So far I love it. Thank you!

[@bluejulie6814]

Really good tutorial, Spider! Love it! Thank you!!

[@gailcolvin1640]

Really brilliantly engineered and elegantly demonstrated! I would imagine this would act as a weighted blanket almost.

[@AngelVelardo]

Hi I just started working on this square waffles, You explain it so well that I didn't have no difficulty... Thank you so much.....😉💖🌹

[@sallyneubauer8504]

Beautiful, i think i will start this project next. Excellent tutorial as usual. All your yarnavors and spiderettes are loving it. Thank you
