Wow you're such a good teacher. I'm a novice crocheter, and really just know chain stitch, double crochet and slip stitch to join for the beginner projects I made so far. I couldn't believe this beautiful pattern is so simple in it's stitching that I can use my few stitches I already know and succeed. Once I got used to holding it different angles to crochet around the bars, I was just flying through those crocodile scales. Thanks so much for this beautiful shawl.
you are so talented for teaching! and with such a soothing and beautiful voice! thank you very much, I finally got this stitch :) new subscriber from Spain, God bless you
hallelujah! I have watched every tutorial on here and tried over and over and over again and just couldn't get it - until I watched yours. You made it click for me - thank you!

I love this stitch! I like to call it dragon scales! Can't wait to start this. Time to go shopping for some yarn! WOOHOO!!!
I love watching your tutorials especially when you interject things that you find make it easier or better in some way. It is much appreciated. Thank you for your patience.
I finally got the scales. It was hard for me to do the second scale. But THA NK GIOD I DID . thank u for sharing. This is a super gorgeous stitch. All the repeats help me to really figure it out. I'm new to this crochet stuff. I'm pretty good, thanks to yiu
Thank you so much FS. You teach so well; so organized and consistent! I learned faster than expected!
I saw others do this stitch . It looked so hard, except for the one done in Spanish. It was totally different but the results were the same. It looked easy, but I couldn't find an English version. I'm glad you did this one. It looks easy. I crochet in the truck as we go to see our son and daughter in law, or my father in law. I did 3 of your sea side shaws. And I don't mind you being thorough it helps me alot. So, many thanks. Have a peaceful day.😊
A safari of crochet - crocodile stitch 🐊 and elephant grey 🐘 😄 thank you Craig! xxx
Thank you for the tutorial! I used this to make two triangles using two skeins of mandala yarn and then connected them with another small triangle. I call it my dragon armor 😄

ooooh how did you connect the small triangle?? I was thinking of making a dragony colored shawl with this but I was worried making it long enough down the back would make it too wide on the sides :/ but making multiple triangles sounds like it would work perfectly!
Crocodile stitch is an easy stitch to do but difficult to teach.. Kudos to you Fiber Spider! I learned a new trick with the slip stitch which you are so right really anchors the scales.. 😊
What a pretty yarneater! You've explained it beautifully. Stay safe and healthy.
You are the best. I wasn’t sure I could do this stitch but you explain it so well. Love you and keep the tutorials coming.
Thank you for all your videos on stitching. You make it so easy to follow. You show exactly where to make a stitch. You explain why. I recommend your post to all in the prayer shawl ministry. ❤️🤗🙏
I love your tutorials. I'm a big fan of how you explain things. I've learnt a lot by watching your tutorials. Thank you very very much.

Wow that was hard to wrap my brain around. I think I got it. Trying to figure how to make square, into a blanket. Love it.
I've watched 5-10 other videos & didn't like the reference to one or three other videos of theirs. I loved the waffle square blanket you did. I love your explanation of this pattern & your voice is nice to listen to.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This was the Stitch that I was going to learn how to do next because I thought it was so beautiful. You made this video just in time for me LOL. I am able to understand clearly what you are telling us to do thank you for being such a good teacher.😘
Hi fiber spider Wendy hear from the uk Just started this project and loving it I’ve just suffered a bereavement and this is the first time I have picked my hook up in 12 weeks just thank you for being there My protect looks lovely so far and all of the stitching is correct and the count so it is good for me to have some time out for a little while Thank you for your precise informative video
I love this - it is definitely on my list for when I can get loads of yarn! I think if I'm going to make a few of these I may need to invest in a couple of sheep! ;-)

You explained this so well, thank you. I’ve been trying to get my head around patterns for shawls like this for years and just couldn’t get it. This is awesome. Cheers from Australia. 👋
I like to crochet along with you. I know you slow down for the tutorials and so it lets me slow down and crochet with a friend. The only real face friend I have to crochet with lives in CA. So I really like crocheting along with you. Thank you for being so therow(sp).
You are simply amazing!! I love all of your tutorials and recommend them to anyone who crochets. Thank you for everything you do ♥️💗
I love your tutorials! You are so soothing to learn from! Thank you so much for all of your lovely crochet tutorials, you bring so much joy!
I love the pattern. I watched others and couldn’t catch on. You explain everything so clearly. I know I can do it now! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Thank you! I've been looking for a new shawl project that could eat up some yarn stash and this is totally it, can't wait to start soon.
OMG - thank you! This is the first time I "got" this stitch! You are an awesome teacher. 💜
I totally love the music staring every tutorial 😍 It makes me come back all the time 😊
I am so glad I found your channel this is absolutely stunning! I've seen a few tutorials on the crocodile stitch and I am just completely blown away by the talent that the people in your community have and how in the world do you people come up with things things? When you explain it as thoroughly as you do with your helpful hints it seems so easy! To look at it looks so complicated and all I could do is give myself a brain cramp trying to figure out how in the world you people come up with such beautiful stitches ! Definitely subscribing!
I love all of your work! The Creator of All has really blessed you with a beautiful talent! 😍

I was gifted Red Heart Super Saver (purple) so I'm using that. It will be my dragon cape! You did say "have some fun". :)
Thank you for the tutorial! I have been wanting to try the crocodile stitch but thought it might be complicated. You make it look very easy. I can't wait to finish my current project and start this new shawl!😊 Have a great weekend!
I love the slip stitch tacking part so that the scales aren’t floppy and loose! I’ve used this stitch to make a baby Cocoon with the Red Heart Unforgettable yarn. Unusual for a baby color but it was for the Owl Cocoon. The color ways are so rich and beautiful! I would highly suggest doing a shawl in the Red Heart Unforgettable yarn! Lion Brand has a similar yarn called Landscapes but it is a thicker, heavier yarn and I found the Unforgettable yarn a lighter yarn and just perfect!
How absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this tutorial. Hope you have a great weekend. Stay safe and well.. God bless💕
Love watching you ,you are a great instructor.
I love the crocodile stitch, only downside is it being a big yarn eater 😊
You explain this beautifully. I adore you🤩
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Instructions very clear and easy to understand, thank you
Never stop making videos. You're amazing 💓
You make it look so easy! Thank you.

thank you for the new stitch I can't wait to teach it to my class thank you so much
Looks beautiful
Ahhh I'm so glad to see this in my feed. I adore the stitch but you are so right it is SUCH a yarn eater so I keep getting hesitant. Little steps I suppose, haha!
Thank you for doing the crocodile stitch shawl tutorial. You made the crocodile stitch pattern not so difficult.
How this man is crochet better than many womans. Shock👍👍👍😳
Would look great as a poncho don’t you think?. For children and teens, and the young at heart. Love you work and teaching abilities, thanks.
I love know you talk to us! I've been working on a blanket with the same stitch! But we are calling it Dragon scales for my 6 year old nephew!lolol
Love this pattern voice soothing

Dear fiber spider. You been apart of my life for 6 years you do an amazing job. Love your work I'm working on this beautiful shawl. I have a growth on my heart. So don't know how much longer I can crochet. I was wanting to know if you could make this pattern into a scarf. God you always
This would be an amazing baby blanket pattern. I hope you consider making that as well 🤩

Hi Fiber Spider, I absolutely LOVE how this looks. I've done the crocodile stitch before but in the round. This looks very lovely. Thanks for sharing. P.S. I think Sheepjes Swirl would be a good choice for sock weight ombre effect.

I’ve actually started a crocodile tonight with a whirl. Darker colour at the point.
If you add a pivot to the bottom of every scale it looks more realistic. Check it out
Wish you were on raverly! Id love to buy yours patterns to go with the video.
I love your works. Your explainations are great. Show us how to make a beg please.
Is it possible to treat this like a C2C and do a decrease? If so, I’d love to see a video how!!
I would finish with Sc on the last row.
M gusta su forma d enseñar. Ya le eh copiado unas muestras. Es super genial, ojalá nos enseñe a hacer capas, saludos desde Veracruz México
Hi ya think this is cool, so I'm trying it, yes it takes lot of wool
First, I LOVE your videos. You are a a fun and interesting teacher. Second, I was wondering if there was a way to reduce this to make it a square or rectangle, for a blanket or throw?
Love it..just need to know.if you can make it square..like a blanket...
I need to find a yarn that is the right mix of green, blue, and maybe purple and perhaps work just a bit of metallic gold in there to make a dragon shawl. Red Heart Impeccable? Unforgettable? might be nice.
Ok, I love it! It's adorable. Can I make it as a blanket? Preferrably rectangular.... hmmm.

Thank you so much! This is explained so much easier than others I have watched! Do you have a left handed version?? Or did I miss it? :)
Can you do this as a poncho? I would love to make a heavy scaled poncho for a friend. And I have no idea how to turn this shawl into a poncho. Thank you for this tutorial. You made it so much simpler to understand. I love your videos.

It would be tricky actually. Most ponchos are worked from the neck down, whereas this pattern is worked from the bottom up. Its all about the alignment of the scales. Also it would probably be very heavy unless you used a fine weight of yarn.
Hellllooo. Thank you gorgeous
I love this stitch. I have this yarn by red heart (favorite stripes) which I love and I was wondering if you thought this yarn would work for this pattern?
