[@thesilenceisdeafening]

Not a word of a lie, I too have found his tutorials to be very detailed, which leads to some very straightforward info. So no confusion ever!😅

[@franmckay5873]

Finally! Someone who understands that beginners need close ups of the stitches and the”what not to do’s” as well as the “how to’s”. My hat turned out perfectly! 😊

[@insaintv]

Mine too on the first try❤ I'm watching again to make another one in a different color... One if my favorite tutorials, simple, concise, accurate, with perfect close ups and tips❤🎉❤

[@ytuckerman]

Hi I have been crocheting for over 50 years and whenever someone compliments me and says I am clever I tell them "no I just follow instructions ,the really clever people are the ones who make up the instructions" . So Thank you very much for another interesting project. .

[@angelahamilton3546]

You’re an incredible teacher! Not only do you explain each step with grace, but you give inspiration along the way! “Breath! Oxygen is your friend!” Mad love! ❤

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

This is literally THEE best hat crochet pattern on KZbin and our friend in Fiber is a phenomenal teacher. So happy I found you!

[@trishahukins9343]

Fiber SpiderMan is the best crochet teacher EVER. He is my #1 go-to crochet superhero.

[@pattimercer4773]

The first person to EVER show the stitches in such detail? I’m making and following his excellent tutorial on the Waffle Hat! Looking forward to making more items of his.

[@lilyhall441]

You are my favorite person for doing crocheting. I just had to let you know that I follow your hats and I make them and donate them to the Cancer society for people losing their hair. Thank you so much for sharing with us

[@tracyweber5844]

I just found your channel last night. I love how you calmly show each step. Your voice is so relaxing and kind! I made this waffle stitch hat in no time. Thank you!

I want you to know I watch this video 2-3 times a year because it’s my favorite! I just can’t make it all stick in my brain 😂 thanks so much with Christmas around the corner I may have to view it daily ❤

[@brendacynthia6988]

His videos are the best he explains so well and I managed to stitch all his patterns , I prefer watching his videos

[@rpatrick5101]

Your voice is distinctive and at the same time listening to it is easy, comforting. You had my trust the whole way along, and I was able to follow you and produce a hat the first time. Thank you.

[@elsam.1800]

With all due respect. . .Don't tell me you don't trust a simple random video except for this one, like just watch a video and if it works great if it doesn't fine. but please reading your comment makes me cringe.

[@tamrachavez7193]

You are an awesome teacher. I've been crocheting for a couple years now and by far you describe and teach techniques perfectly!!! This is the best beanie I've made to date. I give all the kiddos and thanks to you my dear!!!

[@cathybrelza5055]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are the best teacher and fanangler ever. I do things I would never try because of you. Thank you for all you do. Love from Cathy in Brisbane Australia

[@mingdarkheart9706]

This is my first tutorial from you. I love your teaching style and your enthusiasm for the art of crochet. I am very pleased I found your channel. Thank you!

[@HopeAnn02]

I absolutely love this hat and the person teaching it! So easy to follow and understand!😊

The BEST TEACHER.VERY CAM AND VERY SOFT VOICE EXPLAIN VERY WELL. 🎉

[@maggiethatsme]

Hello fiberspider, have just finished the waffle hat. It’s amazing and I so much want to thank you for your instructions. I have learned how to crochet during this horrible pandemic and your tutorial and videos have helped me more than you will ever know. Thank you and please never stop posting you are amazing xx

[@shawnafelts4514]

I am just finding your page, I can not read patterns so I watch videos or I come up with my own unique style. I been crocheting for years but always hated doing hats I always messed up on them. I am soooo glad I found your page! You make it very clear and you have beautiful work 😍 I am now a life time fan of yours ❤️

[@oceanprincess0307]

Thank you for your delightful, videos. So easy to learn from you. Youre patient, very considerate, not rushing through, explaining each step and going through the steps again, carefully. You have a relaxing, comforting voice to hear through your tutorials, making it easy for any age to learn from you. Thank you, a million crocheting stitches thank you. =)

[@louloustreasuretrove2122]

This is my first time to crochet the Waffle Stitch. My son said he "likes this one" and so here I go. LOL Can't wait to see my finished product, I am sure I will LOVE IT! Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching video, it is so great to hear the instructions and follow along video for the first time when doing something new. Hope everyone has a Blissful Weekend ahead!

[@cathycudney393]

You never disappoint me and my Family thinks I am a knitting and crocheting Genius. TYSM Fiber for the great tutorials as I am left handed but you still make it possible for this old Granny to learn new tricks.

[@chrislopez5337]

Thank you for this great tutorial. I’m making hats for the homeless and I like this pattern much better than the one I was using. It makes such thick cushy fabric.

[@CatLady265]

Very clever treatment of the increase rounds. The instructions are very clear and the pace is good. I find the transcript helpful, too.

[@libbytoby886]

Best teacher ever. Let's us see the work all the time. Explains it well and his voice is great. Thank you so much!😊

[@charleshansen]

Well, in the beginning, I nearly threw my crochet hook out the window...but I persevered. I finished the Waffle Stitch Hat, and I'm as proud as punch! Front & Back Post Trebles are much easier, that is, from all the practice whilst crocheting the hat. Thank you for the kindness and support you emanate through your videos.

[@karenphares8970]

Lol felt the same way,only on a king size blanket for a neice. So this wasn't so bad. I do have to say , this is one of the easiest patterns to follow. She makes everything so clear.

[@gnomesteadfarms]

Whenever I am looking for a pattern I somehow always come across one of yours as something that catches my eye. Whenever I hear your voice I instantly smile and I know I will be able to pull of the pattern. You are easy to follow and easy to listen to. We crochet at nearly the same speed so I can virtually finish when you do. I love it.

[@carolynwatts2942]

Thank you for teaching the stitches in a slow manner and speaking so we older people can understand what you are saying. I myself appreciate the way you teach. I have saved a few of your tutorials. The hats are. Beautiful. 👍😊❤

[@patriciamattone5414]

What a fantastic looking hat! It is so unusual and extremely attractive. You are a creative genius! Thank you for sharing your gift with us. You instructions are very clear and easily understandable. Thank you for being our "personal instructor" with such a soothing voice.

[@janeodonnell9497]

I have tried to learn this pattern from others and failed, until I watched yours. Thank you for explaining things clearly and easy to understand. Also your voice is so calming and I did find myself smiling and giggling sometimes to the way you say some things. Has to be the best vid tutorial I have ever watched. Massive thank you.

[@cruisepaige]

Spider, you are a great teacher, your voice and tone are so soothing, but your gentle and fun personality make me wish we were next door neighbors!! Hamburgler!!!!

[@karenphares8970]

Thank you, your videos, are one of the best to follow. I'm 71 and sometimes forget which stitch I am doing. Your instructions are great. Thank you again, Karen.

[@jenniferscelso4998]

I have tried this hat and I love it! This is very well taught. This may be my new favorite hat pattern. Thanks so much for sharing. Great job!

[@reneekoehn8397]

“Breath, oxygen is your friend...” omg lil I adore you, sweetie!

[@candice_ecidnac]

Breathe. Breath is a noun, breathe is a verb.

[@rebotilenong3286]

Thanks ,I have tried this stitch 5 times before I got it right, beautiful.

[@Jan-444]

I really love how you explained this...and followed each round up with instruction...great job I cant wait to try this one!

[@jolandabekkema8585]

thank you for this pattern, it is very easy to follow, I make beanies for my father who lost his hair due to chemo. He will be happy with this beautiful waffle hat

[@cheryl7917]

Thank You for making this tutorial so easy to understand. I did 5 rows of every other front post/back post ribs and then ended with a row of single crochet and it turned out great for the little boy I made it for. Super fast hat to whip up. It's fun that there are so many ways to finish off a beanie, that's the great thing about art, no right or wrong way! Glad I came across your channel.

[@MariaPerez-lb2cl]

LOVE THIS PATTERN. I've made half a dozen hats, seem to have become my favorite. Love the texture. Thanks for sharing

[@malindaburr6938]

I just made this hat. I added two rows to make sure my ears were covered and also added a fluffy pompom. Turned out great! Thanks so much!

[@joycejeng264]

Would you have any idea why my hat might be puckering into a swirl rather than the soft circle he's created?

[@coraalbers4795]

@@joycejeng264 I had the same at first, then I played the video again and again. Found out that there are so many stitches. 1st round- 12 2nd round- 24 3rd round- 36 4th round- 48 5th round- 60 6th round- 72 Got it wrong by increasing. Good luck

[@lamahwaijeh]

Can you help me This hat for men? How many double crochet must I make at the first. Thank you

[@lorriegutierrez9364]

I love the way you teach! You explain so clearly & easily without being condescending. I love listening to you & following along. Thank you!

[@cherylpiorkowski3821]

This gentleman is excellent in explaining how to complete a waffle stitch. I truly enjoyed his video!

[@sarahhazen1133]

I love this pattern!! I even used the first 7 rows to make round cotton dishcloths!! The texture is so wonderful. Thanks for this tutorial!!💙

[@arypravkal]

This pattern looks amazing. Thanks for the step by step and easy way you’ve explained each round. I’ve now got a lovely red waffle cap this winter!

Brilliant thank you.Your voice is very calming.🙂👍

[@Chelsea-xd2vf]

You're video is amazing!!! You weren't too fast or too slow and you explained everything perfectly. And, I could clearly see what you were doing in the video. Absolutely loved this hat. Thank you for doing such an awesome job!!

[@olaade7826]

I loved hearing you say it was squishy. Your way of speaking is great. Very soothing and I feel empowered having learned a new crochet style for myself.

[@montanasmommy]

You have cured my fear of trying front and back post crochet! Thank you so much! I will be making a lot of these hats! 😘

[@suzawuz]

Me too! I was always scared of front and back posts until now.

[@kymbartley9206]

I absolutely LOVE this hat, the texture is so amazing!, and the stretch is awesome!....and you explain it perfectly! I made one for myself and I showed it to my sister- in-law and she wanted to buy it from me, she gave me $15 for it! Yaaay for me! So, now I’m starting another one and I’m not giving this one away!Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial, you are the best!

[@bgtsy]

I cannot thank you ENOUGH for your time and explanation (and humor) of this lovely stitch. Im 57 years old and have been crocheting since grade school. I'm an introvert so never asked anyone to show me how and other videos had me frustrated. Love this stitch and so happy to be able to learn it, stop the video, continue, back up, etc. THANK YOU!!

[@shelraemichelle1461]

Best tutorial I’ve seen yet! Love the analogies, SO easy to follow! I’m all in!

[@ThisMindFreak]

Love this- I will be making it for the homeless as well. Thanks for the tutorial! If you start with even number of DCs, you will be able to do the front/back post ribbing without any issues of two front post DCs together.

[@SWEETANDSAUCYANGEL]

I've just made up my 4th one of these! I love love love this easy pattern. I love the design. I love the squishiness of it. I love how it makes the yarn "seem" thicker. I love following your tutorials. You are the best!!

[@estrellitafugas4141]

I want to thank you for all your videos! I have done many of the blankets and shawls to sell. I'm a cancer patient and I am currently hospitalized. I have trouble sleeping so I'm working on this wonderful waffle hat. It's so amazing how we can create so many wonderful things with just a simple yarn and a hook. I love crocheting and you have been a blessing in my life! Thank you for teaching me so many wonderful tutorials. I love the way you explain every single stitch. 😘

[@mandime4798]

So easy, so gorgeous and warm, and a well done tutorial. I personally appreciated the reminded to breathe in the difficult increase and the encouragement throughout. My son just loves the hat.

[@prayingwifeandmama4251]

You are a phenomenal teacher and instructor!!! Thank you!!! I needed a special hat for my son's boss to thank him for kindly gifting our family some goodies for our party. It was so thoughtful of him and I wanted to make something special for him. As I am stitching along, my husband is sitting beside me saying how cool this looks, how nice it is, etc. Guess precious hubby will get one too! Thank you!!

Thank you for explaining instructions row by row. Row 6, I am so glad you told me to breathe and take a deep breath. I almost gave up there. Thanks for talking me off the ledge. Going behind the post is bad enough but twice. I did it and finished. It's a beautiful hat
