The Granny Convertible Cowl Crochet Tutorial! 

I have to tell you I’ve been having a very rough emotional time with all that’s been going on. It’s been a few wks since I’ve crocheted from the heart. I decided today I would force myself to crochet with one of your videos...your calm voice & loving tone literally made me cry (I promise I’m not crazy) it felt like I was with a close friend. I truly thank you for ALL your videos and for touching my heart today! It was really nice letting go AND yes this is my project to gift myself for the next few days! That you so much!!!

Thank you for including some beginner projects like this in your tutorials. Your slow clear instructions along with gentle encouragement are the perfect way for me to learn.

Where is the love button? I learned so much from your videos the last couple of days. And how nice to see the face behind the voice. Thank you for all you do.

Hi precious friend, I’m 78, not flirting, you know, my studio is in the basement, and when I crochet ,I need a hood, or crawl , blanket on my head & shoulders , thank you for your tutorials, I love these greens , will make it X

You need to stop posting patterns! I have too many projects and now I need to make this too. 😩 Well, I've got it started. I love your tutorials. You explain this so well and you're such a joy to listen to. Thank you for your time and effort!

Just want to share: I made this cowl using Lion Brand Jeans in the color Stonewash. This yarn has a nice soft feel to it when worked up. After a little 'fiddling' I used a chain of 89 with a size K/6.5 mm to get a nice drape with this yarn. However, when it was completed, I thought it needed just a little something to finish the edge, so I did one round of sc in each stitch, including the ch 1 (loosely), and then a round of crab stitch/rsc (loosely). It was gifted to a teenager on Christmas morning. She immediately tried it on and absolutely love it! The 14 rounds was a perfect length and I think the edging helped give it a little body to frame her face. It was very flattering. Thank you so much Craig for this pattern and your hard work in creating it. You helped me look good in the eyes of a teenager, which, in itself is no small feat. :-D I think I will be going down a rabbit hole with this pattern and making quite a few more

If anyone could be said to have a wicked grin, it’s our dear Mr Fiber Spider 😉👍

I'm in the tropics but would love to follow your instructions, really thank you

I was given some yarn by an old lady from church for making her 3 pairs of crochet slippers last year. Well, needless to say, I've been looking for a scarf of cowl pattern, when I saw your tutorial. I'm making it as we speak. Thank you for sharing and happy hooking😊

Saw this video a few days ago! Absolute favourite project now! My brother is visiting for the first time since Covid , only for a week. He always has a chill down his neck......I already made him this cowl and he LOVES it! Made another for him to take home for his partner of 20 years. Now working on one for myself! Thank you so much! Much love and gratitude!

What was really cool about this was the fact that if you choose modern cool colors it could turn out pretttty modern lookinh and not granny-ish. I really enjoyed it thanks you!

you are a lovely teacher and sweet person thank you so much for sharing the pattern love and light from Brazil 🌬💞🌟

Love you back! Hope all is well with you and your weather going on. Love,hugs,prayers.

I LOVE the colors...sometimes colors of skeins don't impress me until I see them worked up into something...adding this to my bucket list!!

Just finished one. It's lovely. Thanks!

Bob Ross of crochet....💕💕

Thank you very much. I'm only a few rows in so far and it's working but it really boggles my mind.

I really enjoyed watching you make your cowl. I have Mandala unicorn that is what I will make my cowl out of.

I am a quilter and I have finished nothing since our first lockdown in March 2020 - I just keep adding to my stash and my pile of UFO’s. I saw this video in January 2021 and have actually finished my cowl in less than a week! Other than a few ripple afghans I made 40 years ago, I do not crochet, but I found this presentation so low key and friendly, I was inspired to order a hook and yarn and not only start, but FINISH!

Once again you have outdone yourself. Thank you for your time and efforts for all of us. Beautiful pattern and tutorial.

Fiber spider Craig, I thank you for this tutorial! I don’t think I would’ve continued crocheting without you and your help!❤️🌻

Love it! I wish us Canadians didn't get so heavily taxed on packages from europe. I can't afford to get ice yarn for that reason, so i can just live vicariously through you!

This is exactly what I've been lookin for! It's great the way you explain things, and you give excellent instructions! I hope you'll be around for a long, long time coming up with more great stuff for us to make! Thank you so much!

A wonderful project ! Thanks...

This is a great 1 day project. Perfect for the person that will wear a cowl and needs a quick hat. Thank you for inspiring us. Stay safe and healthy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Hey Spider! When you have the hood pulled up, you look positively apostolic! Saint Spider!

For symmetry on the underside of round one, crochet the 3-dc cluster into the second chain of the ch-3 space. To avoid slip stitching across to the ch-1 space to start a new round, [do not ch-1] join with a single crochet into the top of the beginning ch-3, and then ch-3, 2-dc around the sc to begin the new round. 🐱

I've just found you on you tube .. You explain everything so good .. I love your calming voice .. Of course I had to subscribe, you will be one of my first choices when I am randomly looking for something to crotchet

Fascinating. Could never before figure out a mobias strip. THANK YOU!!! Mind blowing. New, exciting and fun. Take care.

Hi, I came across your page looking for another project for my artist activity. I was not sure of I could manage a project because I have never read instructions on crocheting I usually just look at what I want to make. Your tutorial is very comprehensive and I want to thank you. I am well on my way to making beautiful projects. Thank you

I made a bunch of these as Christmas presents, and they were a HIT. Thank you so much for walking us through this pattern!

First time I have seen the face to the voice.... I am now complete. ...Thank you for teaching us the art!

Very nice! Floofy is always good. My granddaughter would say comfy- cozy.❤

Brilliant instruction as always. Love that it can be worn hooded. Thank you 🙏

This will make fantastic presents!!!

Thank you for another easy peasy but lovely project! Mare

Love this moebius cowl / hood. Thanks so much!

I love your calm voice and great personality that comes through in your videos.

Ice Yarns Merino Batik - 400m/437yds per skein for those who need to know 😊

❤ I love this. I had bought some loops and threads yarn a while back and couldn't figure out a project for it. This was perfect. Thanks.

It’s so cute 😊 it reminds me of what the vikings used to wear 🥰

Many thanks Fiber Spider . I have been following your tutorial for ages . A lot to show for . Sending you a big hug full of love. Ps I live somewhere in Australia 🇦🇺 🤍👌🏽🤍

So excited to make it ‼️

You're the best teacher ever! Very specific.

I LOVE this pattern and I found it just in the nick of time!! I'm making them for Christmas presents. Thank you SOOO much for all you do. Your tutorials are the BEST!! You are loved Fiber Spider!!

This is perfect!!!! I have always wanted a convertible cowl as I live on a farm and frequently go outside to care for our precious animals. Rain or shine. So this will help so much!! Thank you!!!!!

I really like all your beautiful creations your brilliant!!!

I love this thank you. I'm not watching a film as I crochet I'm watching you showing us another crochet project and surprise, surprise I have just the yarn in my stash! Great for Christmas presents as well.

'Just got done falling in love with the mobius shawl you taught us and now I'm making this one with the same yarn. However, since it's brown-to-dark grey color changing I'll be incorporating bright clusters of red, yellow, blue, etc into it. Can't wait!

Your explanation is always clear and understandable. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

Thank you so much for all your tutorials

From the UK and loving your tutorials! Taught myself from scratch in our COVID lockdown here. Your tutorials are a godsend, clear and your voice is so calm. I’ve done a virus (appropriate eh?) double bedspread for my daughter and her partner, a dog blanket and a comforter for me so far. This cowl pattern is ideal for winter walks in the chill of Scotland where we live. Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you for the tutorial. Just finished this cowl using a size K hook and Lion Brand scarfie. Only used one skein. Turned out perfect

I really like this. It could be worn in so many ways ❤

Thank-you. I now know how it goes. I was doing it wrong.

I made a similar project with mandala cupcake .. it turned out very pretty

I chose this from all the others, and so glad I did! You explain it well and make it look so easy. I've watched the whole video, and made a good start. Thank you so much. I've subscribed to follow your other projects.

Both are beautiful

I want you to know that I had to blindly follow your directions because my brain won't twist like that. IT WORKED!!! No suprise to you, but I was amazed. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos. You're fun and make crocheting easier to follow. Thanks!😁

This is amazing, my friends are wowed by it when it goes from a cowl to a hood lol. Going to make a lot which will keep me occupied over our full curfew weekends. Thank you!

Made this with 1 skein of #5 bulky Premiere yarn with a size N hook. Starting chain mid chest like instructed and 18 rows. PERFECT! Of course I gave it away 😅 Thank you so much! A nice and quick gift idea!

Thank you! What a fantastic idea, and such a calming pattern. Fiber Spider - you're awesome! Stay safe!!! Love you!

Finally got out to craft store and found Red Heart Roll With It Tweed in colors I like and on sale.....couldn't get home fast enough to start this. Instructions were excellent as always, first time I could make a moebius on the first try! Thank you Fiber Spider💙

So I'm working away on the second round following your really clear instructions, thinking I've gone wrong somewhere - not unusual for me - but decided to carry on, when all of a sudden - Boom! - I'm back at the bit where I need to join! How did that happen! This is pure magic. I've often wondered what would happen if I put twist in a cowl I've worked flat, then sticth the ends - I think this is how it would be, but I do like this method. It's fun and fascinating.

Love your tutorials dearest Fiber Spider you are most definitely my absolute favourite XXX

Don't usually comment but I have really enjoyed your tutorials, and loved this pattern. Thank you for the time you spend on them. Keep on. 👏🥰💙

I am really enjoying this tutorial.

I love this! I've been trying to make items for donation, but arthritis has slowed me down. I can work on this super easy cowl/hood and get a few done in no time! Thanks! Stay safe, FS! God Bless all!!!!!

You are amazing! I’m learning so much through your tutorials. Loving this pattern......and, yes, it’s easy peasy......

I'm going to make a bunch of these for Christmas gifts! Perfect timing! Thank you!!

Another great tutorial. Thank you.

what cracks me up is theres been soo many times Ive been wishing fora certain kind of pattern and you pop up with it. I was just wishing for this yesterday. im starting now with redheart ombre. thank you x

Hello my crochet prince...I am so satisfied with your tutorials ...I just want to say thanks...you made patterns soooooooo easy for me.. God bless you ...

Thank you fiberspider

Fantastic! My daughters (23 &9) have been asking me to make them a cowl for winter, and where this goes quite fast I can make them one before the weather changes.

Yay. Perfect for fall, winter. And Christmas! Thank you, again. I just wanted to say how lovely and simple your patterns are, and they just work up so nicely. You’re also a wonderful tutor. ❤️

I love it ♥️♥️ your voice is so relaxing it feels like crocheting with a friend ♥️♥️♥️

Great looking garments; I think they are very practical. I have two skeins of Ferris Wheel; now I know what I can make with it! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Craig for another excellent tutorial x

I have a lot of Shawl in a Ball. Thinking this would be really good for that.

Thank You for this tutorial, it’s refreshing to do something different, I’m making hats for the homeless my goal is fifty I have thirty. This cowl is an awesome diversion Thank You!

Great pattern. Thanks for sharing.

Hallo, watching you from south Africa. Love your videos

Just made this and love it! Thanks so much.

I was just watching BAG O DAY, while she was showing this green yarn with gold flecks by HOBIUM!! ( so christmassy!! ) while I’m looking at this wonderful cowl with a twist which also can be worn with a hood or not!! What a wonderful combo I thought!! That’s a beautiful pattern , your such an expert entrepreneur for us to follow of the yarn channel, on the UTUBE app !! SERIOUSLY YOU, Bonnie bay, bag o day, are just to name a few others, but I love the spider tee spring the most! Plz don’t ever shut that off, again!!

I got it.! Thanks Fiber Spider- you made this seem easy. And it's beautiful!

Just finished the project, ones again I love the tutorial and you are my best teacher in all. Will be ready for the next project soon😍. Happy Thanksgiving and be safe!!!

From Scarf to Infinity Scarf, and now Mobius Scarf. Pretty much talented individual I must say. By the way, my very first finished project is one from your videos (Reverse Terellis and Shells Shawl). I gave it to my mom, sadly to say she doesn't use it much (we live in the Philippines, very tropical country, I used cotton), and she liked it.

I am a big fan of your work, I am in the process of finishing my first symmetrical shawl,

Hi from South Australia. Love this project. Will try it out soon. Love your work. Subscribed.

That's cool how that works

I just love you and now I have another project of yours to start 😊

YES!! This is legitimately something I was JUST looking for!!! I particularly love this because I FINALLY think I enjoy the granny stitch.

I love your videos and made several of your items. Thank you

Lovely

🙏👌❤️LOVE yr crocheting generally hun & came across this (while looking for inspiration for a cowl) & absolutely love this one with a twist! YOU are an absolute 'gem of a crocheter' & I can't wait to do LOADS of these lovely 'hoody cowls' in loads of colours! PS.. I only learned to crochet last February (2021) & am truly 'Hooked'! I am also a bird /wildlife photographer, so I will be making some of these in some 'camo' coloured wool too, as will not only help to NOT frighten the birds etc.. But will be super cosy & warm too! X X 👍🏻❤️💐

Loved making it!

Floofy, what a great word!

I think you need to be sponsored with free yarn, we love your teachings, U R the best.
