Thank you Spider for showing us how to do this project from start to finish❣️ You are a very good teacher & easily to follow, especially for the elderly like me❣️ We truly appreciate you🙋🏻‍♀️💜

[@smugst5645]

You are a great teacher!!! Thank you for sharing!! -from a 71 year old grandma.

[@noeliaortiz2974]

As always, you are an amazing crocheter and a wonderful teacher! I haven't seen you in a while, so I guess the algorithm has been messing with your videos lately. Nonetheless, here we are so let's look for some yarn! 😊

[@chrisgreek4285]

OMG!! This Spiderette is having a total ‘80’s arcade vibe flashback with this blanket! I cannot be the only one seeing the Qbert screen in this finished blanket. Thank you SO SO MUCH for giving me the PERFECT pattern for my SIL who collects vintage video games❣️❣️❣️

[@KnitsOnIce]

Ha, Qbert! I forgot about that.

[@JenJourney]

I see it. 😂

[@Ooobydoobydoo]

So, now you have to find a Qbert amigarumi to go with the blanket. 😂

[@chrisgreek4285]

@@Ooobydoobydoo Oh my stars! That WOULD put it over the top, wouldn’t it? Hmmmmm, wonder if Elise can make a Qbert? Awesome idea - THANK YOU❣️❣️❣️

[@CyndiAnneAdventures]

Oh geez it does remind me of Qbert! I loved playing that game!😊

[@airenmoonwolf2520]

I have always loved these eye puzzle blankets. Thanks for making it accessible to me as a crocheter!

[@cherb_soco1891]

You had me at "join as you go"! Thanks, Craig! I can't wait to try this one 😍

[@kellip625]

Wow!!! This is so super cool looking!!!!!!

[@helena.3472]

You got my attention on the "no sewing together" 👏❤

[@pjsebby3194]

Craig, I absolutely love how this looks. Thank you so much for teaching an interesting and NOT boring pattern. Join as you go is a bonus! I just finished 2 of your log cabins using scrap yarn. Smooches! 😘 Be well and be safe.

[@sbeverlee]

OMG this is ridiculously awesomely cool. You have done it again Mr. FIBER SPIDER 🕷 Thank you, I love ❤️ it.

[@valeriewoodhouse7817]

Brilliant just brilliant I have looked at so many of these patterns and none look neat enough for me but this one is Wondaful THANK YOU

[@KnitsOnIce]

You're still the best! Been watching and learning from you for years. Thanks for all your hard work. hugs and love from the Rocky Mountain West.

[@chanmi1957]

I love this pattern. Between you and Crystal (BOD) my to - do list keeps increasing! Thanks for the video! 😊✌🐑

[@gracejohnston2692]

Right

[@HoofnIt03]

The optical illusion makes me happy, and super love the join!

[@karinhansen4281]

Love the optical illusion effect.

[@porkysnature]

I do a little quilting, sewing, crochet and a little knitting, and I have always looked at this for the quilt pattern and thought I may one day give it a go, but not yet. This crochet is very eye-catching and very doable.

[@laris2328]

He's not kidding about the ends. I'm doing 2 other blankets, both hexagons but slightly different, and I'm not doing the ends as I go (long story). So I'll be spending about a week, at least, sewing in my ends. Since it's summer, I'll start that in the fall.❤❤❤❤

[@kathrynbrister9184]

Love you Fiber Spider! I must try this! Ive made two projects from your vids. You're an excellent teacher!

[@GabbingGrammy]

I adore you and your tutorials. This one left me wanting more information. I would have liked to see how you handled the middle of the third join. You stopped just short of that. I would have liked for you to explain the full layout a little more. How do the blocks line up relative to each other? How to measure the blocks to approximate how many you need for the size blanket you want? You usually explain more. I love this type of almost quilt blanket.

[@kristamarciniak7659]

I agree, i am struggling with it

[@lilliangonzalez2120]

I agree with you. He stopped too early in the video. I need more.

[@dp2573]

I also wished there was more. I started this but ended up taking it apart since the blocks just didn't line up correctly.

[@aureliaortiz9766]

So cool, thanks for sharing your fantastic work.

[@judihowe773]

Hi. That's awesome and love the colours. 😊

[@nidiamedeiros1158]

You are amazing teacher Mr.Spire thank you for sharing your videos 😊

[@UzziahRoberts]

As usual, I just love how you break things down so they're so simple. I have gone to so many different KZbin videos. Everyone made this certain pattern so hard. I appreciate you so much. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. And making all your patterns so easy that even a beginner can do them. Much love. Be blessed. Then again every pattern that I see I come to the fire spider to see if he can make it easier for me and you do not ever regret, thank you! Thank you thank you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@alicedamron1341]

Hi Fiber Spider....I was wondering if you would show how you put the diamonds together to make the illusion pattern. I can kind of tell by looking at the finished project ...but if you could explain which colors to put beside each other. I appreciate this entire video and all the hard work you put into it. thank you

[@julietardos5044]

I was thinking that when I make this, I would draw out the pattern on graph paper, so I have a guide. That might help you too.

[@user-ew8uc1uy5y]

If you do, please share! Thanks!!

[@welshaccount9026]

Hope this helps. This is how I mapped this out and I am making right now. Hope this comes across clear. First do all the light color blocks in full ,do all 4 rounds. I then linked them on the tips with stitch markers to make a long 'chain'. This holds them in place as I work the medium and dark shades in the join as ypu go method. I then start with the darker color working up the final round on all sides but one, which I then do as the join as you go against the lightest color edge. I move onto the medium color where I do 2 sides then join as I go to the dark as well as the light sides. So now a single block is formed. For the next block set-Again start with dark shade but this time youll do final round on 2 sides and join as you go along both the medium shade side and top light side. The medium will be the same as first block. In the second and beyond rows I do same method other than needing to do the join as you go along three sides this time not just two ...the bottom(to light shade) will be joined as well. Basically if you start with full blocks on the light shade you can work in rows joining them all as you go. The half blocks would be on the sides. Really hope this made sense and helped❤

[@tclark7802]

This is a very unique & really cool looking afghan. 💕

[@lindaarchinal9008]

I made a baby blanket using Glorious Granny- so beautiful! Now this is my favorite quilt pattern - again you speak to my heart. Thank you for your great instruction.

[@frozenstone1787]

Craig you are an amazing creator. The most awesome illusions and you teach them so we all can make it roo. 😊 Thank you 🤗🙌❣️

[@samanthaknudson3084]

OMG I can't even get my brain around this one. ☺ Your visual 3-d is fantastic.

[@vickihalbeisen9513]

My to do list got 4 going right now. Love your videos your great at them

[@BlueSkyLissa]

I can’t tell you how badly I want to do this blanket!!! I’ve never done granny squares before but this might get me to attempt them. LOVE IT!!!💜🫂💜

[@GloriaHopf]

The design is eye catching and your tutorial makes easy work of the diamonds, half diamonds and the JAYGO. Thank you so much. I'd love to have a go.

[@Tititoni2]

Thank you. Picking the colors will be fun. Beautiful afghan.

[@Sydroo1969]

I'm a Gen-X and played arcade video games. This reminds me of Qbert. I need to make this. 👍

[@rotashalewis7605]

It does look like Qbert!

[@julietardos5044]

JAYGO is my favorite way to join squares. It's bad enough I gotta weave in ends from each square, but I gotta sew all those squares together too?! No, JAYGO all the way. This blanket looks awesome!

[@reiki11]

Oh Craig! I am going to Herrschners Warehouse Sale next Thursday with my friend. Gonna get yarn for this project!!! Thank you so much for sharing. And to think, I found you last year to learn the knit beanie and you have propelled me into the craziness of crochet! My family just loves it!

[@leighrandall5347]

It may be a bit fiddly but anything that saves having to sew together is ok by me 😀 Can’t wait to get started but must finish something else first 🤪

[@beverlyfarro7198]

Thank you so much as we can actually learn from you, also thank for speaking instead of music.

[@leyongalo5781]

You are great teacher. Thank you. So beautiful.

[@ruthgoebel723]

[@lyndaholloway5469]

Oh thank you so much. That method is so much better than sewing the pieces together. I have done the Tumbling Block before, but they were knitting. I love it in crocket. The best to you.

[@nightowl4137]

Beautiful Pattern, you had me rushing for my yarn & hook as soon as you said " No Sewing ❤ " Vickie

[@virginiaroberts4921]

Very cool and that join looks super secure, as well. I do a lot of scrappy blankets for donation and can't wait to try this.
