FYI, for anyone out there, I marked down the times in the video for the repeating rows ( after row 13) After finishing row 13, repeat rows 10-13 until desired length..Row10 starts at 46:54, Row 11 at. 51:42, Row 12 at 57:05, Row 13 at 1:03:42. Hope this helps

It is now almost exactly 4 years since you first published this video and I wanted you to know that you are still the go-to instructor for just the level of instruction I need. You are funny and sweet and just a great guy. When I'm frustrated and can't quite get a pattern, I shine my Fiber Spider light into the sky (a spider clutching a crochet hook in front two feet and a ball of yarn in two front feet on the other side) and it's FIBER SPIDER TO THE RESCUE! I sincerely don't know what I would do without you! Much love to you!

I take my channel and my tutorials seriously, and it really means the world to me when I believe that I've actually helped someone! In fact, you all have inspired me to come up with a new pattern of my own for a shawl that I'm currently working on, stay tuned for it when it comes out! Until then - keep inspired, keep caffinated, and keep stitching! 😉✌☃

The best part of your tutorials, besides your down-to-earth comments and fun quips, is the fact that you explain the PATTERN itself and not waste time teaching the basic stitches in the condescending manner that many others do. The tips you give help with retention of the stitch variations so I am less likely to keep consulting notes or video. KUDOS to your teaching style (and wonderful soothing voice).

I have finally found a video for this pattern that i can understand and wont frustrate me and i have to pause and rewind a million times to see and understand. You explain. Things very well. You did a marvelous job and my project looks fantastic because of it. Thanks so much!!!!!.

On a side note.. I got to Row 12 or 13 following a different video and now I am totally confused... So I found you.. Thank God for you!!!

Thank you Melrose for putting in those times! And Fiber Spider, I'm a seasoned crocheter and COULD NOT figure out this pattern until, in despair...I thought to look for a video on youtube! You're the greatest! Thank you so much for taking the time! After those first 5 rows, I could have followed my paper pattern but I enjoyed it so much more crocheting right along with you! Gonna be boring doing the rest of the shawl without your sweet, soothing voice! Thanks again!

7 years later and this video made me get it easily! Thank you so much! I hope you are still around here. ❤

Well, It’s 7 years from when this video was released and I thank you, so much for letting us know when to repeat the rows 10-13🎉 Thank you, sooooo much, I really appreciate that!!

I can’t count the number of times I’ve started a virus shawl and got lost by row 12. With you I sailed through and actually understood the pattern. You made it so clear. I am almost finished my 2nd shawl in 3 days and have the pattern memorised. Thank you so much.

Hey there Fiber Spider. I don't comment much, because I feel like I would just be repeating myself about how much you have taught me, how much I LOVE the way you teach, and what an inspiration you are. I have completed many of your projects, and I only started teaching myself how to crochet about 7 months ago. AND yes they actually look really GOOD.

Now I am building my confidence in making clothes besides just blankets so making more tops and sweaters I would love to see you come up with also but I really do enjoy your teaching. I was hit by a Logging truck head-on a year ago and while I’m in recovery I’m really building my confidence and I thank you for being here

Thank you again for showing me how to make this!! You are the best!!❤

I love this. I wish there was written directions so I could work out each row in my own time, and refer to it several times until I got it down. Just love this and grateful for you sharing it with us.

Dear Spidey: I really enjoyed your video explaining how to do the virus Shawl and the fact that you went to round 13. Also the fact that you provided us with how to continue on in this process after row 13. Here’s a couple of tips that might help those of us who are not proficient in crocheting. I found myself wishing that your background was a solid color as opposed to plaid. And wishing after you finished a new row that you would lay out your work and and smooth it out so we could see it better. Thank you for your time and patience. You’re doing a great job. Wish I had found you sooner.

It was a pleasure watching your tutorial. You explained everything so wonderfully that I had no problem following you. Thank you so very much! I am looking forward to more of your projects.

It's January 24/2023 and I wanted to let you know that I enjoy your teaching methods! You make learning these type of patterns so relaxing. You, BOD, Cinnamon Stitch and Jada are my absolute favorites 💞💖

Reading through the comments, I have to agree that you make me feel like I'm learning from a friend. It would be so cozy to sit together in front of a fire and cups of tea, crocheting the day away! (and having a pro to help untangle the yarn would be a huge plus!)

Thank goodness for you! I still can't read a pattern to save my life but thanks to your amazing and thorough tutorials, I am able to make some beautiful things. I actually made the "Virus meets Granny" shaw first, then this one. Please keep sharing your projects; I learn so much from you.

Thank you so much! I so wish I could figure out how to send a picture to you. I just finished making this shawl for my sister for Christmas in Mandala , Lions brand wood Nymph.

Fiber Spider that is a wonderful outlook on what you do. Personally, I think the fact that you, being a male, find crocheting as important as we do. I really dig that. crocheting isn't just a females sport lol. Can you just imagine if more men got involved and engineered new patterns and masterpieces?! That's not to say that females haven't contributed significantly to the crochet community over the centuries. But having a mans perspective can add so much more to this arena of craft. Hence the proof of your creative deigns and awesome teaching techniques. I don't know of you have a Facebook or not but if you do it would be cool if you would add me. There are a ton of crocheters on my friends list that could benefit greatly from your crochet perspective. Hope you have a wonderful day in Jesus name!

My dear Fiber Spider... Love your tutorials. You make the best ones by far. I just have one question... Do you usually say how much yarn is needed for a project? Or at least an approximate yardage? If not would you start adding that into your videos? Anyway... You are fabulous... Thanks for your time.

Dani Girl firstly I'm so glad you are finding my video helpful! As for any variegated yarn, my experience tells me - go with it and enjoy the ride 🙂 No two are ever exactly alike, just like people. Also, keep in mind that at the beginning the color seems to last a long time, but as you go on and the rows get bigger, the striping will be quicker and more distinct. Btw, I have a new shawl pattern that I've been working on with Caron Cakes and hope to film it soon! Please stay tuned in for future updates, until then, keep at it! 😉

I don’t normally comment publicly, but I made an exception here. Had I not found and renewed my interest in crocheting during the pandemic and your videos in particular, I would have gone stark raving mad! You brought me calmness in the midst of insanity all around me with your calm and easy manner and way of teaching. It just clicks for me. I learn best by seeing and then doing. Written patterns are gibberish to me until I actually SEE it done. This pattern looked so daunting about 6 months ago and I skipped right over it. A friend sent me the link recently and I find now I can now not only manage it, I’m looking forward to finishing and wearing this treat for myself! Thank you so much from another appreciative “yarnivore” and PLEASE keep the videos coming! Recently spotted the “Granny” version of this and it looks like a 3 part challenge! WoW 🤩!

Same here! I've had a few virus shawl tutorials saved to try and after five minutes in to them, went "NOPE". Here, it makes SENSE because the pattern repetition itself is covered, not just "do these stitches, then these, doo-dee-doo" without pausing to lay out the work and show how it builds on itself. I think this is the first time I've started a project and followed along without ripping out a bunch of rows and rewinding!

I'm so excited to finally be working on this! When I first started crocheting, this shawl was trending and I felt intimidated... This is so easy! And that yarn is GORGEOUS, makes me want some chocolate covered strawberries lol

This tutorial by Fiber Spider on the virus shawl is absolutely perfect. I really "get it" watching him. Thanks so very much to him for such a comprehensive tutorial which he explains so well. It's the best!

THANK YOU for marking the repeating rows! That makes it so much easier to pick up the rhythm of the pattern

I love Fiber Spider.His voice is so lovely.Really calming.I love his tutorials.💗x

I enjoyed following this person. He isn't rushed. Very easy to follow.

Thank you for this tutorial. I have done my very first virus shawl through this tutorial and I have enjoyed it much. I am now into making my 2nd virus shawl. God bless and keep doing tutorial videos with different designs for us who wants to learn crocheting…

Fiber Spider you are the best and you explain everything so clearly. Your the best.

After seeing this shawl a lot I wanted to give it a go as a change from blankets. I've watched many videos on how to crochet it but yours is the only one that makes sense without being condescending. Love how you explained so the pattern did get stuck in my head, felt like I was part of your home crochet group.

Believed or not I’m just finished another ones of this shawl after 4 years…and I still loved…thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I have been knitting for 20 years but could never get the hang of crochet. Something about your style and explanations have finally made crochet click for me! So happy to have found your videos!

Thank you so much for the explanation. It's all clear. I'm not bilingual in english and I understood everything! Let's continue for this beautiful shawl!

This video is awesome. Your voice is soothing and your instructions are so easy to follow. I recommend you to everyone.

After a 45 hiatus from crocheting, my first big project was the Virus Shawl. Your video made it possible for me to complete the whole shawl in about 2 weeks. Thanks so much! I’m a forever fan!

Another great video. Thank you so mush🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰

Each time I watch this video, I learn more about how to do this pattern from memory. Thanks for that, Fiber Spider!

Love it❤❤ large thread and hook and the repetition really helped most folks stoped at row 10 and for some reason I couldn’t get what to do next, I loved your video

Omg,I finally got it!just could.not give up,great tutorial, thank you Spider,your voice is very pleasant.

This is my fav crochet video. Been doing virus shawls now for 2 + years!

I learned to crochet super basic stuff as a kid but lately have been wanting to branch out and re-learn. Thank you so much for this entire tutorial, it was first and foremost relaxing and easy to follow as I learn to read patterns. But also soothing and calming. I know it's been six years this this has been posted, but holy cow THANK YOU.

Last Christmas I made my coworker this shawl and before watching your videos I wasn't seeing much growth and development in my crocheting. I finished it and I was so grateful that I found your channel. I got so much better after watching your videos, something just clicked and now it's muscle memory. Mistakes are not made as frequently and it boosted my self esteem immensely. Thank you for taking the time to be so helpful!!!

I’ve really enjoyed crocheting along with you Mr. F Spider. You’re the best. Not a dull moment. I can’t wait to finish. I was having separation anxiety after row 13. I looked in the comments N you saved the day on how to finish. So now I know I wasn’t just forgotten. Thank you for your time and your tutelage! Be safe and keep teaching. I’m retired and enjoying your tutorials.

I have done at least 7 virus shawls and came upon your channel recently and decided to check out your video. A superb job and the best video out there. Wish I came across this one before I did my first shawl. Love your videos and you have a very soothing voice; a pleasure to listen to. Thanks.

I am late to the game on this shawl. Thank you so much for a great tutorial. I am off and running thanks to you.

@FiberSpider you're a great tutor! I started 5 rows with a previous tutorial and was left high and dry as my "auto pilot" hadn't taken anything in being a relative newbie. But your patience, nice, gentle speed and great camera work, guiding us through 10 rows, my auto pilot kicked in towards the 10th. A MASSIVE thank you 😘

This video is fantastic!! I just learned to crochet less than 6 months ago and was able to follow this nicely. I watched the pattern over again a few times as the project became larger- they way you explain things completely made sense to me. Thank you!!

thank you for your video . i have enjoyed going with you step by step. mine is turning out beautiful and can't wait to show it off

Best tutorial on the virus shawl for me! I wrote it down while you talked and I've tried to get it with other tutorials but the women wouldn't go no where near as far as you did and I was really frustrated. They said to repeat but then where you jumped the chain wasnt even mentioned.. This is mighty fine for sure. Thank you so very much.

Thanks for going beyond row 5 or 6. It was very helpful to be reminded what repeat rows to do. Thank you for doing such a great job.

Back yet again. My fav shawl crochet pattern. Have made many, many of these shawls!

I know I am years behind the others, but I want to thank you for your tutorials. The virus stitch has intimidated me since I first saw it. Other tutorials by other creators have not been nearly as clear or helpful as yours. Your voice is so calming and soothing, making me feel like I, too, can create beautiful projects. Thank you for all you do, it is very much appreciated.

Best virus shawl tutorial on KZread 👍🏻😁 thank you so much!!!!

A friend recommended your youtube videos and as a total beginner this shawl was the first big project I did , have only crocheted some granny squares to get the hang of the hook. Love your videos this shawl has been so much fun to do , not quite finished yet want to do a few more rows. So easy to follow and your explanations are great. Looking forward to more projects. Cheers Janine

I sat and crocheted with you through all 13 rows and you explained the construction of this beautiful shawl in great detail to where I can fly solo lol. Thanks so very much and keep up the amazing work! ;)
