I am a crocheter and just can’t knit but I love all your videos whichever craft it is for because you make them special. Your smile and your positive outlook on life make your videos so fun to watch. Thank you!

Love you yarns, patterns and the colors! And you of course❤️you precious lady.

Thank you Chandi for reposting this video tutorial. I really like the fact that you told us how to count the stitches to maintain the straight edges all thru the shawl🤗 Thank you and your team for all of your hard work. You guys are great 👍🏾 Much Love, Peace and Blessings to you all💖

Great tutorial, the FSC was easy to understand!!! Thank you again for this beautiful pattern!!

You are the best instructor on you tube. Hands down. Thank you!

This is another keeper! I have them all in safekeeping, thanks for all the fun!

Great tutorial, as always! I finally understood the Foundation SC; you are excellent when it comes to explaining stitches! You are AWESOME!!! Thank you for all you do...❤ Have a wonderful day...🤗😙

Love this pattern and love that you have written pattern along with video. Thank you so much for all you great work💕

Beautiful shawl! Thank you for the pattern! Thank you for all that you do! Stay safe!

OMG, I am loving that color 💙💙💙💙

Beautiful pattern. You and you hubby always make me laugh at the end. Thanks 😊

I'm more of a knitter, it's mostly because it's more stressful to crochet on my hands & the chain wasn't "stretchy", love this !

Love this! Simple and elegant pattern. I bought the yarn, by the time I went on line my choice was limited but I’m sure it will look wonderful in the variegated color I selected. Can’t wait to start!

Thank you for reposting the video. This shawl looks beautiful!!!!!!

Such a beautiful shawl! Making one right now in black yarn! Thank you!!

Love this way of starting my crouchet project.

i have made 2 of these and plan on making 3 more as gifts and another one for myself. sarayu has to be my favorite design!

Never saw that kind of foundation stitch! Brilliant!!!

Love love love your videos! You are just too cute! Thank you for your teachings!

I really like this shawl and the gorgeous blue yarn! I am a knitter, but I watched your tutorial and I believe I could crochet this with your detailed instructions. Thank you for the pattern and the crochet stitch tutorial!

Great video work! I really like how springy the foundation stitch is - I love it! The wrap is gorgeous! Working on it now with some yummy coffee!!

Soy de Chile🇨🇱❤️Bendiciones y Congratuletion por su Crochet es muy fácil, lindo y lo enseña muy bien. Gracias❤️

I really love how you explain every detail Very nice thank you for sharing

Although I am a Master Crocheter, I love watching your videos. you are very clear and concise. Great job pretty lady. Treble thumbs up.

That’s gorgeous!

I’m a new fan....just ordered some of your fingering yarn and some patterns...can’t wait till they get here

Absolutely beautiful color and shawl! The yarn looks really beautiful! Thank you for showing us how to make the shawl... this is one I'd love to make for myself!! Thank you for the pattern link!

Hi Chandi, beautiful shawl. Your instructions are clear, and easy to follow. Thank you.

A nice shawl. Thanks for sharing. Love it.

Working on this now in a light alpaca yarn in pine green! So excited! Thanks for another great pattern.

This is really beautiful!

What a cute pattern. Thank you for sharing Chandi. I just adore you

So beautiful cant wait to get started

Always beautiful love it

What a sweetheart. What a smiley face and voice😁

I'm loving this sarayu, I just bought an off the shoulder jean dress that this will go perfect with, thank you!

Thank you for sharing❤️ Its so beautiful.... This will be my next project.❤️

Gorgeous! Thanks Chandi!💖

I do believe that you are the easiest teacher to follow. You show it carefully as you explain. I am trying to show my 11-year-old granddaughter how to crochet and I know how to crochet but to show it to somebody is so hard!🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️the hardest part for me to help her understand is how to hold the hook and where to place her fingers and the yarn.

Hi me lovely nice to see you thank you for free pattern again x

I love your videos on crochet because i only crochet thank u for sharing 🥰

Beautiful work. I've loved the pratical explanation. And so good mood. 😍

Love this and I have the best expression yarn for this project

Your work is amazing. Thank you

Love this method, so simple.

This is fantastic! Oh those dreaded chains are history. It so gives a smoother and visual as you noted. Girl you are rocking for beginners and confident. 🤙👏👏👏✊👏👏👏👏👍

I've never learned a foundation chain that way before!! I'm excited to try it!!

Another cute pattern 😍😍😍🧶🧶🧶 xx

Vey easy to make and nice to watch tutorial. Thank you. I'm starting to make my wrap now. xoxo

Beautiful

Whoever created the FSC needs to be given a medal and a hefty monetary prize imo. Without it, I'd skip right past this lovely pattern.

I really enjoy your videos, you do a great job presenting everything and especially the way you hold your hook. Holding your hook this way helps to see exactly what you are doing. I have always held my hook like a pencil, I feel like I have more control of the hook.

Loved Sarayu design a lot Loved the Final Lines too Today is all we have Must try this lovely pattern Expression Fiber Arts Love uuuu Byeeeee Looking Forward to some more pretty simple designs

Right! I'm not watching any more of your dems for at least a week! LOL I just bought two patterns. Enough already hahaha. Thank you xx

Another stunning pattern really need to learn to crochet

Its gorgeous

I'm going to pull out an old crochet hook and some yarn and try this! The screams you may hear are me yet again attempting to NOT crochet my fingers into the pattern. Sigh...but I'm going to do it! What a lovely pattern!!!! And what hilarious outtakes! All this laughter isns't good for me! (Just kidding)!

I am anxious to start this!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern!! So GORGEOUS!!! 😍😘👍🏼!! So HAPPY that you were able to fix the🙌🏽 UPLOADING so quickly 💋💋💋💋!! I'm so excited to start this one sweetie! You and Tim are just so ADORABLE!! Much LOVE and you both are always in my thoughts & 🙏🏼!!! Be Safe😷 and Stay Healthy, Promise❣#YARNMakesMeHappy🧶 #GPWarrior💚🥄

Thank you so much.You are amazing.God bless you !!!!!!

Lovely as always Chandi! Nice and airy! Thanks for sharing!💕

Another gorgeous shawl Chandi and always complemented by your beautiful yarns ♥️♥️

Love the patterns and your tutorials but your bloopers, BAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the laughs, too :)

So beautiful

Beautiful. I love your nails too❤

Superbe et instructive Je connaissais pas cette méthode de construction de la fondation 😊

I love this shawl! I am not a crochet-ist but I would like to make this one. You are the cutest and most effective teacher I have met on the web . Kisses! Cat(alina)

You seem to share an American prejudice against the past in favor of the future. That part, not so great. But I love this pattern. I live in Arizona and today the temp was well into the 100-110 temp range. Only breathy patterns/shawls work in these conditions. I love that I can use this pattern to quickly shift from open to warming, because one moment I am under an AC duct and chilly, while the next I am outdoors inside nature's oven. Let me assure you. Have you ever opened an oven and gotten a face full of hot air? I get this whenever I open my apartment door in the AZ summer. It's an oven out there. I hope this pattern will help me wear a shawl for fashion without cooking inside it in the heat. Then, indoors, I often feel like a little green pea in the flash freeze. I hope this pattern will protect me from feeling like a Birdseye flash frozen veggie. Also, just one more point. Thank you for visiting the realm of crochet folk. Many of your truly beautiful designs belong to the two-stick neighbors. That's great for them and I envy them, but I am a clumsy ox with two sticks instead of one hook. Knitting is a so-so place to visit, but I cannot yet live there. Love your vids. Thanks much.

Love watching your tutorials. So calm and relaxing. You have inspired me to get over my fingering weight fears. Also i love how you match your hooks to your nails x

I'm gonna make a few of these 😊

Beatiful

You are a breath of fresh air to watch, you make the fsc easy to understand, now i can practice it without fear and make this gorgeous shawl, thank you so much xx 💖

Thanhks it's precious pattern 😍

Wow. Another beautiful video about crochet. The one that I saw like this is from Cassiekoy Crochet channel

Beautiful i am sorry if I was crabby when trying to download a pattern , u have wonderful tutorials and beautiful items

Lovely colour my favourite blue colour beautiful shwal

This is gorgeous. I love this bright beautiful blue !!! In India, there is a river named Sarayu. Also, there is mention of it in Swami and Friends, a book written by R. K. Narayan.

Muy lindo y fácil yeah be here in this moment the best

thank you🤩

I have a mental block when it comes to FSC - mine curls and I just end up frustrated - so I do the long chain and work back into it. Would I chain 321 and work my first sc in the second chain from my hook?

Que lindo parabéns pelo trabalho.

U made my day🤣🤣🤣🤣..I love see the human side to people

Thank you 💕 .. i wonder if you can share a project using worsted yarn 🧶 (mixed of marina wool and silk) .. I will apprciate that.

hi there! this is a lovely pattern that im putting on my list! could you please tell us how much yardage was used in yours and the size hook youre using?

Stunning personality... 👍👏

Chandi you are just gorgeous and you model all your garments beautifully. Chandi when I want to download one of your free patterns like this one but I have to go through my PayPal and then I still don’t see anywhere I can actually download the pattern. So no pattern but a lot of frustration as I need to repeatedly fill in all my personal living details. How can I get past having to use the PayPal system when I am not actually paying. I have bought some and one day once I get 8 pairs of socks knitted and my daughter’s colleague and best friend’s husband needs beanies (6) as his last one was virtually eaten by their very naughty but cute German shepherd Tucker! I am looking forward to buying the yarn needed for the Aussie water lily as I am an Aussie living in Victoria the southern most State on the mainland. Love your tutorials thank you so much for the heads up on making life easier in this time. Hugs from a very safe distance ha ha

Çok güzel oldu ellerinize sağlık çok beğendim..

crochet goddesssss

Thank you.

Très belle comme d'habitude

Tq Chandi 😘 it's lovely ❤

Beautiful!! Can you please tell how many chains to start,

Amazing camera work. Thank you!!

Love the pattern can it be knitted as I can't crochet not for the want of trying many times I just can't seem to master it all xx

Look so beautiful ❤🌹 is there a chart for this

I have this skein of self striping Lion Brand Cupcake yarn and wanted to see if you have any crochet shawl patterns you would recommend. Thank you! 😊

Can I do this pattern on a DK weight yarn ? Fingering weight seems just so tiny but im not sure how the drape would work out. The yarn in the video also looks much thicker than fingering so I'm hopeful it will work out fine.

😊 It's designed by an Indian! Happy to know. Ill check out her page. 😊
