[pellett382]

I would love to see a diaper cover done in this stitch....



[Sukalya1]

This is so lovely and your instructions so clear. I have to give it a try.

Thank you so much for sharing.

[musiccrosby]

Wonderful instruction. Clear, concise, easy to understand even for a beginner.

[sesteadman]

I'm somewhat of a "newbie", and I love the way you explain a stitch I have wanted to learn for a long time. My question is; how do decrease the number of scales on a row, so you could eventually work a square?

[bobwilson123]

@sesteadman I dont know how to make a decrease but I know that tjw1963 has a video for the square shape :)

[igiveup851]

I feel Lucky! that's shawl I'm look for to make :)

Thank you so much !

[sharall]

Hi there, I am a long time crocheter, crochetyer, cro.....I love yarn lol...anyways I love this tutorial, and I am also a Nail Tech and couldn't help but fall in love with the fact that your nails match your yarn too!

[bobwilson123]

@sharall thank you and thank you :)

[kathiehand]

Awesome! Easy to see and understand. Started a shawl last night. Love it!

[Tobeosis]

Great Video Thanks!!

[rosalinda0124]

thanks for showing these little details of increases and decreases, because, that's what cost me more to do. God bless you

[starbright57]

Excellent video.  Very clear and slow instructions. I actually crocheted along with you. Now I understand completely. Thank you for taking time to do this for us, I really really appreciate it.

[SimplySomeStuff]

Very clear and easy instructions! I can see it being a little bit difficult for beginners but thank you for the help, exactly what I wanted [am going to make a shawl]

[cwh4676]

I have been trying to figure this out so that I could make my granddaughter some wrist/arm warmers so that the crocodile stirches would just cover the top of her hand and be in a point near her fingers - a bigTHANK YOU for showing us how to do this and increase - awesome and so easy!!! I can't wait to see her so I can measure around her wrist/arm to do this and maybe add some beads to the project!!! Thanks again!

[Crystalizeh2o]

how much yarn did you use for an adult sized shawl

[bobwilson123]

@Crystalizeh2o I would suggest alot because this is a yarn pig, I did not finish the full shawl

[bobwilson123]

@Crystalizeh2o Hi there I am un sure but i would say alot as it is a yarn pig pattern. I only made the sample and not the while shawl

[Crystalizeh2o]

@bobwilson123 Thanks...excellent video..you give good clear instructions

[butterflies1957]

you are  a wonderful teacher bless you!!!

[latenweeensditdoen]

Next time other color nailpolish or color warm please.

[tosha723]

Have you ever heard of the lemon peel stitch or the seed stitch...If so can you please post a video on one of them?????

[bobwilson123]

@tosha723 I have a feeling that it is a sc then a dc then a sc, dc I think that Mikeyssmail has one ?

[xoAzulox]

Instructions are not so difficult, well explained, so I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the tutorial.😊

[bobwilson123]

@toyaellis I wouldnt recomend it if you a complete beginner :)

[violinistx100]

oh yeah!!! new shawl added to my repetoir!!!!!! :D YAAAY

[r00p123]

Hey thats really fine,I wanted to know reverse of wat you showed from several crocodile stitches how to reduce to one.

Anyway thanks once again.Yes one more thing can you sometime show as how to make basic crochet Shrug.

Actually I like your videos they are easy to understand.

[r00p123]

your tutorial is really brilliant but can you please show how to do the triangle with crocodile stitch top to bottom(reverse direction) not the whole shawl just with a small triangle.

Thanks a lot.

[bobwilson123]

@r00p123 Soryy but i have no idea how to do that :)

[1poochiedog]

Thank you. I'll try that.

[1poochiedog]

This is a great stitch. Thank you for putting it up. My scales come out looking rounded. How can I make them a little more pointed looking? Again Thank You.

[bobwilson123]

@1poochiedog You could try a picot stitch in between the 2 sides of the petal .. so after you do 5 dc try a picot and then finish the other 5 dc's on the second half :)

[crochet65]

I like your instructional video, you are easy to follow, however, your call outs "Find all my videos on the description box" and "Subscribe for future tutorials" are distracting, is there any way possible to put these call outs at the end so they are not distracting during your tutorials? Please don't take comment as criticism. Thank you so much for sharing your talents :)

[bobwilson123]

@crochet65 Thanks for your feedback :) I am trying to metion it in the video when i am talking instead of adding it after with the anotaions, I will always be open to suggestions :) thanks for watching :)

[10fairyland]

How much yarn is needed to complete the shawl?

[bobwilson123]

@10fairyland Hi, Depending on what yarn you are using. I used 8 ply and I think I will uses 300gms of yarn :) Hope that helps you

[10fairyland]

@bobwilson123 Thank you so much =) I'll be using a light weight yarn. I'm thinking it should be close to the yarn you are using.

[Lnknitz]

No offense to your color coordinated nails....but they got in the way of seeing what you were doing.....just an fyi...thanks for posting this though. Saved me from buying the pattern!

[bobwilson123]

@Lnknitz Thanks for your honest feedback, Yes i have removed my nails now as i realise that were to distracting. They looked good when i wasnt making video';s hehehe :)

[Crafter18NAB]

Hi I was wondering can I use this pattern to make a poncho. Thanks

[bobwilson123]

@Crafter18NAB Yoyu may be able to make 2 tiangles and then sew up the seams but i am unsure

[luzma9800]

I don`t understand english very well but I can still understand you when doing a project...thanx.....by the way....do you have this crocodile stitch shawl crochet in written instructions?

[angie57able]

Thank you so much for the wonderful video. I have a pattern for a scarf and could not figure it out and never knew that it was called the crocodile stich.

Thank you again, now i'm able to make the scarf and hat. :)Also will be showing a very good friend how to do the stich she will also be very happy :)

Love your nail polish it matches the yarn.

[bobwilson123]

[bacwest57]

hey Clare...aka trevor...LOL you did a great job of explaining....i started one with bulky yarn a number 5.  it's to heavy...what do you suggest?

[bobwilson123]

@bacwest57 LOLOLOL Hi Trevor here :p Sorry it took so long to get back to you . I am not to sure on the yarns that you have over there in your country. But i would suggest using a using a lighter weight yarn, I think I used the equivelant to your DK or sports weight yarn
