The Basketweave Hat Crochet Tutorial! 

Definitely the best crochet teacher with the best patterns. Easy to listen to and understand with just the right cadence. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

You are hands down the best crochet teacher on the internet!! Thank you😊

This guy is the best. He explains everything well, has an enjoyable calming voice, and has good images of the project, so it makes crocheting fun and easy.

Very clear, you make it so doable even though the end result looks really hard! Thanks!!!

😊 I love your calm energy and the details always cover all it! Ty😊

He is a very good teacher I must say.he tells so nicely that everything is clear

I just finished this hat last night and can’t wait to make another one. Thank you for this pattern and your great instructional video.

Your commentary and demonstration made this pattern so simple. Thank you so much.

I want to say I really appreciate how you take the time to explain everything from beginning to end. I enjoy the tutorial and I appreciate the fact that if you have to do additional tutorial you’re willing to do it. Thanks

I’m totally loving this pattern. Will make it after a nap. Worked all night. Thanks!

Fiber Spider, I just wanted to say that I LOVE the fact that you record the ENTIRE process of making your projects, START to FINISH!!! You take your time and I personally appreciate that!! ALSO, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you have each individual round as well, start to finish with time stamp below your videos!! I think i speak for everyone when i say THANK YOU!!!! Those are just a couple of things that i wanted to say! So this is the 3rd beanie tutorial of yours that i've followed along and finished and i absolutely LOVE them! As do my friends and family who receive them! The first beanie i made following your tourtotial was the basketweave, I've made so many now that i don't even need to follow along with your tutorial anymore. Occasionally, i may need to so thanks again for being such a fantastic teacher. To be honest i've tried this stitch following a couple of other youtubers (whom i will not name) however I have NOT been able to successfully finish them. So I'm counting on your expertise, attitude, encouragement and tidbits of suggestion to carry me through!! I have NOT one doubt in my ability to achieve this goal with your guidance!! You really are fantastic, keep doing what you're doin and again thank you!! 🧶Sincere Subscriber - TabiBwell 🧶

These tutorials help me learn new stitches I've put off learning. Plus I'm making gifts for friends, family and myself at the same time. Really enjoyable skill upgrade for me. Thank you!

Just finishing up this hat. Really pretty. So appreciate finding these patterns that work from the top down and your directions are always so easy to follow. I feel good about donating hats from your videos because they're so nice. Thank you for posting these.

Thank you spider I will use this for one of my donation hats I’m starting to do them as we are in lockdown with even more crochet time on our hands 😊Amanda xx

I love your tutorials! They’re super-quick and easy - I’m just finishing the brim on this hat, and it’s my second hat using one of your patterns! Two of my Xmas presents done and ready to go!

Great! Just the stitch I was looking to do into a hat! Love the orange one. Thank you for sharing! Stay safe.

Oh my goodness I just started trying to design one of these this morning!! Can’t wait to see how your pattern works up!!

Easy to follow tutorial! Thank you for sharing. I have made one for myself and it looks good and well fitted on my head. I made in in purple; I will make one in white. Thanks again, Mr Spider :-)

Thank you! You’re very precise in explaining, making it so much easier for us, new to crocheting. I will definitely be making this hat real soon.

I enjoyed making this! Thank you! Your tutorials have made me a better and more confident crocheter. Be well!

Cute hat! Thank you so much for giving so much detail to the ends and beginnings of rounds, which is where I usually have trouble. You're a great teacher.

Just finished this for a gift, it’s lovely! Thank you so very much!

Made it. Thank you Spider, you always make flawless tutorials. Result perfect!

This hat and your waffle stitch hat are my most popular male styles. Thank you for posting! You’re always so thorough in your tutorials. This makes a fantastic set with just a simple basket weave scarf. I love the Bernard crushed velvet. Such a lovely presentation for a gift.

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I tried reading a pattern for a basket weave hat and was lost. You explain everything step by step in wonderful detail. I was worried my stitches were off when you quit counting them. But I followed you and the hat came out beautifully!

Thank you so much, I can always follow your instructions and end up making things I never thought I'd be able to make.

Lovely hat... I've always been intimidated by the basket weave pattern but I'm confident watching you I can finally accomplish this...

I can’t Thank you enough for this tutorial after frogging 2 hats from 2 different patterns I nearly gave up then I found you. I made my dad a hat first and it turned out so well I just finished one for my mom just in time for Christmas. Thank you again.

Love the variegated yarn version you did too! Different but interesting.. Thank you for this pattern!

You make basket weaving so much easier. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

Thank you for this tutorial. Nice that you place what time each round starts, that is so helpful and that you count often. So easy to follow along with you. Your speed is spot on!!

Great video. I made this hat and had no problem following along. Thank you for explaining why you chain up and not count it as a stitch! I never knew why before. 🤦🏻‍♀️

You make the best teacher ever...appreciate how you take it slow and very easy to understand..thank you for such a great tutorial..

I just started crocheting. And this is the first thing I made that looks good. Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Because of you I'm making a great hat.

Hello, thank you for all your ‘clearly’ spoken, fun tutorials, am enjoying ‘you’ so much. I’m in Australia 💙💙💙

Excellent instructor. Can’t say this enough. Thank you!!!

I totally loved this pattern and I it myself. There are no words to describe how it made me after I finished it. Thank you so very much for this pattern. Peace and Blessings to you 😍🙏🙏

Love the solid and the print! Thank you for another great tutorial.

Thank you for your thorough, thoughtful instructions! I’m new to this, and a lefty, and your directions were so clear I could follow along. So happy to have found your tutorial that resulted in my first, darling hat.

I love this hat. It's gorgeous.

Totally enjoy your teaching, so easy to understand.Slow and simple.

Ive seen this pattern a lot but the way you work it and explain is fantastic. I'm newer to crocheting and I can make this! Thank you

I know I’m late to the party, I’ve been watching your channel on and off for a few months. I’m in my 60s and only learnt to crochet a year ago from my daughter (it’s usually the other way round 😄). I’ve finally subscribed, keep up with the great tutorials 🇬🇧😘

Thank you Fiber, I've just finished it and it looks great. Greetings from a lock down Italy.

Making this for my son now ☺️. Craig, you're such an amazing teacher! 8 just love your tutorials. You make a beginner feel so capable!

Love this and you make is so easy and simple with great instructions. You have such a soothing voice too.

You're so great at giving instructions and love all your patterns... Keep it up!

I talked with my cousin in Albequerque NM yesterday and it had snowed on Wednesday. I live in Florida and we are lucky to get down to 70 at night. This is cute. Thanks for sharing.

Love how you crochet this hat. I have been crocheting for over 50 years and I learnt something new. Bravo young man.

You are an expert at giving instructions. I love how you show the stitches close up. I made this hat and it turned out exactly as it should have. I had to tear some rows down, only because I wasn’t paying attention to where I was. Lol. I haven’t found any videos with such detail. I also have made several of your waffle hats. Crocheting with your guidance has made it such fun. Looking forward to trying other projects of yours. Thank You so much!!

I absolutely love this pattern. I just made one with I Love This Yarn by Hobby Lobby in the color soft blue for Hat not Hate for Lion Brand. I am now making one for my husband ...not sure of color yet or yarn. Then I will make one for myself! Great tutorial!!!!

You are an awesome teacher. Thank you so much for going slowly.

I LOVE the basket stitch! Spring in southern Colorado can be QUITE crazy. 60's 5 days ago, now WINDY, 40's brrrrr. We wear beanies about 8 months out of the year! Thanks for this pattern, I LOVE it!

Love the way you explain the steps, is so easy . Love the result of my hat.

I followed a lot of tutorials, you are the best Teacher . So easy to follow your instructions.

You are just fabulous very intelligent and imaginative I love you and your art. I must say you are the best that I’ve seen on utube Your teaching is just thee best. Thank you. ❤

I've become so addicted to your tutorials and the ease of following you, that in 3 days I have made 4 hats and a cowl collar. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Just completed this gorgeous beanie for my husband’s birthday - thank you Craig so much for your very clear instructions xx

I made this style hat in 3 hours it turn out very well.

I have just discovered you 😊 and I'm very happy

Just made this with Red Heart Super Saver Aran Fleck #4. It took me a few seconds to figure how to reduce the size (Managed it) and I topped off the brim with the crab stitch. I'm lovin' It. I plan to make bath mats with this stitch. The cushiness of it is absolutely amazing. Thank you, Fiber Spider, for all you do.

Yes! I am totally making this! Thank you Fiber Spider! ❤️ Still cold in Michigan. 🥶

I loved making this hat , Thankyou for great instructions.

I just finished this beautiful hat for a dear friend. Thank you for your wonderful tutorial!

I’ve made so many of your beautiful work. I follow you always. 😊

Thank-you so much for your tutorials. I have been wanting to learn new crochet stitches for a long time. But could never find a tutorial that worked for me. But yours have been great and very easy to understand. I have all ready suggested you to people I know wanting to learn to crochet or knit.

Used this to make an awesome hat for my brother for Christmas. Thank you!

I am absolutely in love with your unforgettable hat!

I happened to chance upon one of your videos while browsing you tube for crochet beanies...Divine design hat caught my attention and I started trying to create it. However I couldn't finish it as my yarn got over and I couldn't find a matching colour. Then I tried this design and I am very Happy to inform you that I completed this beanie and I am proud of how good I was and it's all thanks to you and your methods of teaching. Thank you so much.

You are awesome. I have been learning how to Crochet on RU-vid since August 2021, so I'm very new to Crocheting. I'm a lefthander so i do have a lot of difficulties learning but watching your tutorial i have managed to make this beanie/hat. I'm supa proud. Thankyou

I wanted to thank you for your tutorials. I find you have good camera angle for me. I have watched several of your tutorials and have made a couple of your beanies including this one. Other than the size difference it's wonderful. I like the fact that he does step by step. So beginners and crochet along too. Thank you for your patterns.

I love this, I also love to hear you reading. It put me to sleep. Thanks

Fiber spider strikes again! love your tutorials and thank you for sharing. On it later today X stay safe and well.

Oh, I LOVE THIS, Craig! ❤ I'm using Caron Simply Soft in 'Pagoda' with a "J" 6.00mm crochet hook - it's BEAUTIFUL!😊 I'm almost finished, but decided to do two more block rows with a single crochet ribbing for the brim, using an "H" 5.00mm crochet hook. I'm also planning on shopping for a matching faux fur pompom. Thanks so much!😊💝

Hi Craig just finished crocheting another beautiful beanie. My son was slightly envious of his dad’s birthday beanie but I’m not complaining. like you said in your tutorial - it’s worth it !!! xx

I love listening to you & watching your videos! 🥰

Hello, I have rarely seen a tutorial so precise, so well detailed and well explained ... A big thank you for your shares and videos. Absolutely beautiful this beanie

I hope you never change that awesome music. Thanks for the tutorial....just going to try it now.

And some of us need a good headstart for next Christmas to get all the gifts made for next Christmas!! So thank you for this video!! All for winter wear are welcome all summer long as next November is too late for me for next Christmas & I've forgotten about even my favorites of November for preparations for Christmas 13 months later!

I’m so into crocheting it’s my fav Loving it ex specially being this coronavirus situation I’m trying to sit down and learn these beautiful patterns thank you

This is a really pretty pattern. Even though the basket weave look isn't as visible with the variegated yarn, I love the way the colors show up. Thanks.

I absolutely love the color of the yarn you used. Blue is my favorite color and that blue is so lovely.

What a gift you have instructing. I had made a basket weave scarf and wanted a cap to match. I made my cap as I followed along with you. I love it and was surprised at how easy it was. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video..I have made 3 of these hats..and they are comfortable and warm😁

I agree Ro Wellman, he is wonderful - explains so nicely and makes the project fun...thank you for yet another winner of a pattern. I am making beanies for Cancer patients in East London, South Africa - so wanting to different patterns for the patients.....

Fiber Spider, you're deeeeeee-lightful. Thanks for teaching us how to make this hat

I’m so sorry it took me this long to find you. Years of looking for videos I could tolerate has ended. Lol. I think your a gem!!!! I’ve been binging this video!! I’ve been crocheting and knitting and crafting since a child with my mom and aunts and thought of doing something myself that has a bit of everything. But I digress a lot. Lol love love your talent and videos. Thank you for the time you take !!

I used this tutorial to make a yellow and green beanie. It looks so good. Thank you!!!

Yayy I made it. Your instructions were so clear💐

Glad I found you and subscribed because you are so easy to follow!

Thank you for another hat pattern I don't like doing the same pattern I like to change it up I do multiple objects at one time and I work so much on each item God Bless you stay healthy

I don't know if you look at comments on your older videos but tried to make the celtic weave hat and just couldn't gat it. I was using carron soft yarn and had difficulty with seeing definition I have never done front posts and back posts before. So I went to a simpler hat pattern, the basket weave hat to learn how to do the post thing. Learning so much from you, thank you

thank you so much for your very easy to follow video this is my 3rd attempt at the basket weave hat, I was ready to give up until I found your tutorial, love the way you explain every step, thanks again :)

Great. Ideo. Awesome teaching. Looking forward to learning all of your tips. God bless.

Love this tutorial....all your videos are so very clear.
