My French speaking grandmother who taught me to crochet made bedspreads with colored sheets underneath to show her crochet work. Her bedspreads would change depending the season. She taught me to crochet, and I love it.
This makes a beautiful bedspread. My mother made 2 by herself while I was in grade school back in the 60s. She'd take it with her everywhere that she'd be sitting waiting.
I always have a project portable enough to take with me if I know I'm going to be waiting with nothing else to do. Surprising how much gets accomplished while "waiting", lol.
I also keep my traveling basket of crochet near the door to grab on my way out the door. Recently, I didn't take it and I nearly went nuts waiting with empty hands. 🥴
@@karentzn I have a tablecloth that my sister in law crochet for my mother in the 70's. I have several vintage (prior to 72) table napkins and placemats my great aunt Laura Mulford made, some paintings and wood carvings she made. She is named in the who's who of American artists from Nebraska and taught art at UC Berkeley. I have a quilt top my great grandmother pieced in the 1860's. It is teal green and white double irish chain. I had just finished a teal and white double irish chain for my son. Was I ever suprized to open that box from my mother. I didn't know she had it. I am the only quilter in the family.
@@laurienorton7422 that sounds awesome. I’m the only quilter in my family. I have 3 daughters and non quilt. I give away quite a few of my quilts. I just love making them. A huge Bonnie Hunter lover. Watch The Last Homely House by Kate. Enjoy
I just received two of these from my mom. One is ecru. The second one is white with the round pleats pink. They are both queen-sized bedspreads. She is 90 and a marvelous crocheter. She also crocheted each of us 5 kids tablecloths. I treasure them all.
Another little tip from the 40+ year crocheter, lol. For a faster moving, heavier weight, warmer, blanket, use a nice barely fingering weight yarn instead of crochet cotton. You won’t need as many motifs. You can really use as big of a yarn as you want, although it loses some of the beauty if you get too big. I once made a “doily” with worsted weight and it was gorgeous! I spread it out over the back of the couch and it was truly lovely. You do very nice work! I am enjoying your videos immensely!
My Grandma would have loved your podcast.. She would have been 109 this year.. She did all kinds of crochet like bedspreads, curtains, tablecloths, wall hangings and doilies.... I was watching this podcast, knitting on a sock..
I had my grandmothers crochet books. They were $0.10 a piece my ex stole them. This was one of them. I’m sitting here loving these patterns. My broken heart hasn’t mended in 5 years. I made a bag out of this.
My grandmother made several bedspreads and tablecloths by herself. This is in the days of outhouses (no indoor bathrooms), wringer washers, hand hanging clothes out to dry. Ironing EVERYTHING. No microwaves. Cloth diapers. No fast food or frozen dinners. Growing a garden and canning the produce. I’m feeling very lazy right now. 😥😥😥
I was thinking about that--exactly what do the young ladies do!! The thread arts are not necessary. Even in the 1980s *I* had to make my own as I could afford nothing but raw materials. I really wanted a Dutch Tile bedspread but could not figure it out.
I love the look of vintage crochet. I still have vintage doilies my grandmother made. I can't wait to try this pattern. It wouldn't be possible without your tutorial. I've been crocheting over 47 years but could never understand the written pattern. Video tutorials are a godsend because it allows me to learn so many new stitches and patterns. One other thing I would like to thank you for is your neutral nail polish. A lot of crochet tutorials are hard to follow because the crocheter wears garish, glittery, or decorated nails. Since my eyesight isn't the greatest, even with glasses, I find this very distracting, especially if they are long nails that hide a lot of the stitches. Blessings!
Thank you so much for demonstrating this motif. I just came here after visiting your Etsy shop to buy this pattern. I had been following the written pattern with no problems. It’s been so enjoyable. Then I got to the round where the points are joined for the flower. I have been sitting here, with a big question mark in the thought bubble over my head. I will be watching this video for your expertise. ETA thank you! Your demonstration was so clear. Just wonderful! You have totally made my day! I will be saving this video.
My mother started a crochet bedspread when I was a teenager ( I am now 79) and she hot so tired of working on ot and buying more yarn gor it when it was large enough to cover the donong room table she stlopped and was so proud ohf it. I still have it and treasure it. Ot is a joy to use it on very special occasions.❤
I was so fascinated by your work that I watched three of your videos straight through this morning! I could NOT look away! As a kid, I remember seeing crocheted lacework tablecloths & bedspreads made by family members. You may be correct about them being group efforts, but I know that at least one piece we had was made by a single woman. Thank you for choosing this stunning motif and demonstrating that it's still alive and well in the hands of creators. I look forward to more tutorials... interpreting some of the cryptic terminology was extremely helpful!
I was listening to her say "it must have taken one woman months to finish this" and immediately thought - doesn't it usually take months to finish a blanket? It certainly does for me!
I think your videos are completely mesmerising and totally amazing, and your voice is really soothing. I'm sorry if that sounds creepy haha I didn't mean anything like that 😅 anyway I've watched all your videos and I've started them all again but this time I've actually bit the bullet and decided to try using cotton yarn. I'm usually sat here saying I want to make one of those, but never do anything about it, thinking it may be too hard. so I've just bought 42 balls of yarn off amazon for £18 and I'm going to make everything from the first video onwards. It looks really difficult, but I like a challenge, and you explain everything so clearly, so I'm hoping I can do it. Wish me luck, haha
I just discover your Channel. It is stunning. I've begun crochet 40 years ago (I'm 52). I 've learned with those dollies. Go on like this. You are Amazing
I'm going to find the link. It's very old, but there was this old lady who had made a bedspread from which I believe is the same motif patten. If it's not, it's pretty close. Anyway, this grandmother finally finished the bedspread that she had started in her early 20's as she was getting ready to get married. Life got in the way and though she worked on it again from time to time. This video that I watched probably15 years ago, brought me back into crochet. I learned the basics as a kid but no one taught me how to follow patterns or graphs till my daughter was an adult and she picked up knitting and crochet. It's been my therapy for the past 6-7 years as I've been recovering from a series of TBI's and a couple violent assaults. (I worked in a locked facility with violent mental health clients) It was really fun watching you and encouraging you over the internets. This is a cool channel. Thanks for doing it. Take care. I found it, it's not even similar. LOL! I misremembered. we need to find this pattern. ruclips.net/video/aYVQ1dsRqfE/видео.html
I love the niche you have found with the vintage crochet patterns. You do a nice job of explaining these and showing your work. I love the mystery ones too - that was an inspired idea!
Such a lot of work! But, it makes a beautiful heirloom. I had a bedspread similar to this pattern from my grandmother. It weighed a TON, though, and didn't use it. I ended up asking my oldest daughter if she would like it, and of course, she did. I am so glad she wanted it. A lot of younger people do not see the history in handmaid things. She does crochet and sew, so she is more interested than her peers. Love your videos.
My late Mother-in-law made a gorgeous queen sized bedspread out of ivory size 10 cotton for her middle daughter . She had made 4 extra squares. When she passed away, my SIL had a square framed for me, I look at it every day. So, you can also make these for stunning artwork in your home or as a gift. Love these projects!!
I had the book with this pattern years ago. I made a bedspread with worsted yarn with it, and found--in case anyone wants to try this- the weight of the worsted pulled on the rest of the bedspread stretching it a bit, and it was extremely heavy--not too comfortable, but very warm. So it has to be made with the finer threads for best use. Fingering yarn might work, I have not tried it, but I would not recommend anything larger than a twin size bedspread with any of the worsted weights. However, I did a tablecloth with thread as used in the video of a very similar pattern and it worked fine, did not stretch easily unless done so while wet and is still being used even though that was a good many years ago I made it. Just some advice hopefully to help.
I congratulate you on your patience and persistence to complete this pattern. Ythe vintage patterns put modern patterns to shame. Addicted to this channel.
At the petal folding, since you were folding odd number stitched groups, after slip stitching 8, you should have had a "center stitch" you were joining towards. You were right initially. 😊 This reminds me of stuff my grandma and great grandma had in their houses. They were prolific crocheters. Thank you for sharing!
Your channel popped up in my suggestions and I clicked and sat amazed at your work. You have a great way of showing while talking through the process and although I will never attempt something like this I love to crochet. I put down my project and was mesmerised, had coffee and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent watching. I have subscribed and look forward to whats to come. I will also be checking out the videos you have on your channel. Thank you for sharing and your voice is so soothing, yet I can feel your enthusiasm for what you are doing. Just Great! I'm from across the pond in the UK and love your accent. Best wishes.🙂
Wow, I am surprised by how gorgeous this is. Crochet thread is too fine for my poor eyesight, but I feel inspired to try one of these with fingering weight cotton, just for fun. It doesn't look difficult, now that you've clarified the instructions. I'm beyond impressed by anyone with the perseverance to make 50+ of these into a single bedspreads. The hours of work involved... that's an act of love.
Sometimes the best thing to have along with all the rest of the usual equipment is a picture and a magnifying glass. With me(,since I’m a lefty) I have found out I do have to look at a picture and need the magnifying glass to count the stitches !!🥰
Simply amazing that someone (obviously a math whiz) sat down and created such beauty from what my husband calls "a stick and some string." Haha! Seriously, I am always in awe of the intricacy of vintage patterns, so like the patterns being designed in Russia today. How they come up with their ideas is way beyond me. Thank you, sweet Corrina, for helping us decode and demystify these intricate patterns and to create this beauty for ourselves, one stitch at a time. Love and stitches from Tennessee!
When you were doing the DC and didn’t like working in just BLO, you could have picked up the back loop and the back bump loop for stability and still have the front loop making the “line” in the pattern. I use this technique a lot.
I have to start off with WOW! I am just now seeing this video, and it is January 3, 2024! Almost an entire year since you first published this video. I wonder how many people have followed along with you in doing this first complete motif of this bedspread that you are demonstrating. Your video just happened to come into my RUclips feed this morning. I have not seen crochet like this since I was a child. I actually completed a tablecloth doing fine crochet work like this back when I was a teenager; I am now 65. I started out as a crocheter, but I found that crochet designs seemed to change from beautiful work like this to granny squares, endless chevron blankets and very ill-conceived and ugly clothing that I would never dare wear in public. Although my mother and an aunt had previously been unsuccessful at teaching me, I had finally reached my limit of my frustration with what I saw as bad crochet design, and I finally taught myself to knit. I set my crochet hooks aside, except for rare instances, like baby outfits for friends or to repair a mistake in my knitting. Well now you’ve inspired me! And as I write this, you are only into round three in your video! You picked the most wonderful design for your first demonstration on this channel. And might I marvel at the pristine condition this booklet is in! Your friend took amazing care with these patterns. For anyone who would like to try this but feel intimidated at the fine thread and small hook, or if your eyesight has deteriorated over the years as mine has, I’d like to suggest getting a hands-free magnifier. I used to use one for petit-point needlepoint. It really helps with seeing these small stitches and keeping your place. I checked to see if these magnifiers are still made; they are, and they now include built-in LED lights! I have one other question before I turn back to the video. Are you the mind behind NewAgainCrochet in the Etsy listing? If you are, then that’s what I needed to know. If not, then I’d like to know whether this design and other vintage designs that you’ll be demonstrating are still under copyright protection? If they’re not, would you consider making the written instructions available? I imagine that some of the patterns might be very hard to locate otherwise. I imagine that by now you’ve already published many other videos of other beautiful designs. Like I said earlier, you just happened to jump into my feed this morning, so this is the first video I’m seeing, and I’m only up to round three in the video. I got so excited that I had to stop it and write! I can’t wait to finish watching this one to see what else you’ve done over the past year. Thanks for resurrecting these designs!
I am wanting to make a tablecloth for my antique table and i need it to ne round and this would be beautiful. I am watching everything i can to maybe figure out how to connect circular doilies to make a circle i stead of a square/rectangle. I am hoping just a bunch of repeats and i want to make it look a little more modern. This is beautiful. I frame all my doilies! I am proud of all of them.
OMG.... i am only 15 min into the video, but i have to comment! I started crocheting doilies in late 60s and into 70s... i also did afghans, but the fine work is what i was interested in. I have so many of those original books from the 30s and 40s and also those reprints from late 19th century. I have been much more into knitting lace since the 80s, but i can still drool over those beautiful crocheted bedspreads!
I have a BedSpread my Great Grandmother made with these. I have so many memories of sitting at her feet and crocheting with my fingers, as she worked on it ❤
This is so gorgeous. I came across your videos about a week ago and am over the moon with excitement. I love to crochet but haven't done any for a while cause I kinda lost inspiration but I am now so inspired and fired up and rearing to go again. I have all of my grandmother's old patterns and some of her mother's too so I think you can see why I am inspired. I love this pattern and the fact that it dates from the year my mother was born has me itching to find my crotchet hooks, go buy the materials required and get started on it. I am loving your tutorials as they are great for someone like me who is vision impaired. I use special magnifying glasses to watch the tutorials and have a special magnifying lamp that will help me when i am working. I must have known I was going to be doing this again because a few months back I actually bought some of those row markers you have lol. I'm so excited!!! Thank you Corinna for opening my eyes up to a brighter world. I also have some physical and mobility disabilities that force me to be off my feet almost 24/7. No, I am not wheelchair bound but have chronic ulcers on the bottom of my feet and a few others issues. I'm not complaining because there are others out there far worse off than me. I have aids to help me see and support workers to help with my daily living .......and I can still do all my handicrafts!!!! Keep those beautiful patterns coming......I'm off to find my crotchet hooks.....we moved a while ago and I haven't unpacked my craft room yet. ❤❤❤
The type of crochet cotton abbreviated in the instructions is "mercerised". Much better/prettier finished product using mercerised cotton. Definition from Wikipedia, "Mercerisation is a textile finishing treatment for cellulose fabric and yarn, mainly cotton and flax, which improves dye uptake and tear strength, reduces fabric shrinkage, and imparts a silk-like luster."
Your work is truly beautiful. I remember as a young girl watching not only my mother, but my grandmother and other family members create beautiful crochet pieces. Many of Which I have today. Looking back, I always wish I too, had learned these skills, It is through watching your tutorials that I too have wanted to learn to correctly read and follow a pattern so as I can create amazing pieces of Work so I can hand down to my children. I’m looking at purchasing this pattern through Etsy and I’m wondering, do you demonstrate how to create the hexagonal pieces.
I'm vintage myself!😂The piece you're doing is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to make one in different colors! I just wanna see if it will look as good as the white is! Ya never know cause its hard to beat that vintage white in anything. Thank you for showing us your vintage book! I love it🥰
Thank you so much for such detailed and concise instructions, I haven't done this type work for many, many years but I may just give it a try. Can you imagine the talent and thought of the person who actually designed this? Amazing!!!
I’m glad you are sussing out the pattern for us. I’m already cross eyed and only on row seven. I do hope I stay the course. I just can’t imagine making a bedspread, I’d be worn out. If I manage one piece I will be thrilled. Will let you know.
Wow 😯 isn’t it amazing the work that was put into these pieces back then?!?! I have to try this one of these days. This will probably a very long project ❤ thank you
It sure is!! They were artists ❤️, I hope you do, even if only the one tile as an art piece like I did, it’s hanging on my hallway wall between family photos 😊
Sometimes I like to watch crochet while I'm crocheting. I got half way and stopped my graphghan to start this beautiful square. 😍 Then I sent your video to a new friend of mine and she tells me she has MANY crochet magazines just like this one from her grandmother and mom 😲!!!! I feel like I won a prize 😅
I enjoyed every bit of this tutorial! Its wonderful watching it develop and to see the size of the tile when finished. I enjoyed watching you questioning if you have done it right, checking the pattern and making a decision and going for it. I am in awe of the ladies of the era who made these. It is more than a beautiful pattern. It is a testament of the women's character from those days. With all the other domestic demands they were expected to attend, they must have had impeccable organisation, patience and determination to complete such a project as this. So, here's a shout out to all our Mums from vintage and beyond - you are our silent soldiers, remembered, cherished and loved ❤ Just Vintage Crochet, thank you for these tutorials. I felt like I was with you too 😊
You really need to put museum glass to preserve the color if you’re going to frame it! It’s absolutely gorgeous!! I can’t imagine making enough to do a bedspread! I think I’d go blind & my hands would cramp up with arthritis! 😂😂
i love how enthusiastic you are about us trying to make one tile as a challenge bc y know what why not? idk how to crochet but this seems interesting so maybe i'll learn now and have this as a thing to work up to
I love how you treated ending your piece! I agree with you that it's a work of art. If it were me, I would go a step farther and mount it in a shadow box so that it will be protected behind glass. You do such beautiful work, in thread as well as in yarn! I miss thread crochet so much - that is what Mama taught me with and what I used almost exclusively for decades. Thank you for another great tutorial! Watching your tutorials, I feel like we're sitting together, drinking coffee, yacking and crocheting. Makes sense to me that you feel the same! 😉
I surely do feel that very same lol, and a shadow box would actually be perfect! thank you :) I have decided to hang it in the hallway between 2 groups of family photos I have mounted :) and thank you so much :)
This is one item a girl would make to put into her hope chest. It would be filled with items she and her family collected and made over years so she could have starter household items for when she married and had her own home.
Oh man i bought a blanket years ago and have spent around 10 years trying to find a similar pattern so I can try and make a spare one because I am too frightened to damage the original, I have never seen another like it, its the most beautiful blanket i have ever seen and I paid 50 pounds for it, honestly it must have taken someone months or even years to make! Thank you so much for posting this!
Hi, Corinna. I wanted to thank you for reminding me about this pattern! (Water Lily Bedspread) I've had this pattern for YEARS and have always wanted to do it and watching your RUclips video today inspired me to get going on - so thank you SO much! 🥰
I was thinking to do this as a motif on the back of a cardigan. It would take a bit to work out, but I have seen some nice cardigans with mandalas on the back that I will look into.
Thank You so much ! This was the same 'pattern' I used to watch my Great Grandmother work on for years, while sitting at her feet crocheting. I have the Bedspread she made, and now I will work on something. GOD Bless 💜🙏💜
Thank you so much , and I love to hear people’s history with these patterns, it connects us all 🤗❤️ God Bless you as well, thank you so much for that 🥰
@@justvintagecrochet ... Thank 'you' for bringing that Pattern and those memories back to life, for me. I will love the that of Grandmom hopefully smiling as I crochet along with your Tutorial ❤
You definitely have to have worked with size10 and the tiny hooks. I started learning with these. Filet Crochet. I don’t see as well as I use to, but I can work this pattern. I also have vintage mags from my best friend’s grandmother. I’m blessed…
Lovely. So happy to have found you. Ordered pattern. Thanks for link! I’ll be hooking along with you. Thanks for sharing this pattern. I’ve subscribed ❤
I'm super glad you told us about the microwave; I kept thinking it was MY microwave! Beautiful piece to begin with. I suggest you put a card in the next mystery offering to remind us and those who find you in the middle of the wonder of vintage crochet
I love vintage so when I read the name of your channel, I had to take a look. Glad I did. I am hooked. I will be making some of the patterns that you share. Working on this one right now. I don’t have many hours in a week to crochet. I try to work on one project before I start another one, however, I am working on this one and another. I love working on this one. It is my first time working with thread. Love watching you work and decipher the patterns. Thank you for your time and talent. You voice is wonderful to listen too as well.
I left you an email from me. Just the number 2 instead of 4. With something I was hoping you could help me with. I absolutely love that you are willing to do actual vintage patterns. Thank you so very much for keep this craft alive.
Thank you to Rosemary to, now we all get to make these beautiful crochet bedspreads 😊. I can’t wait to make these. Thank you for sharing, it’s really hard to find vintage crochet patterns
Made this but only partially. I stopped where I got lost but that’s ok. It looks great as it is. Is a table decoration. Maybe a doily. It will collect dust but that’s ok. It’s going to make someone feel special receiving it.
This pattern is so beautiful and you are amazing to work it for us. Pattern from 1944 oh my. I was born in 1943 and love this pattern so much. I am able to crochet along with you. I like how you ended your block. Thank you so much. I will certainly follow along with the other patterns you will work for us.
I just got here from looking back at some of the vids you've done and never saw this one before today. Sorry to be nit-picky but when you were doing round 29 by repeating round 27 you were incorrect. 27 is sc every stitch but corners get 3 sts around. This is such a lovely piece and just the kind of thing I needed to pump up my 'cro-jo' again; (tired of doing scarves). Thank you for all the hard work you did for this pattern.
I don't know why I'm just finding your channel, but it's fantastic! I looooove stuff like this! Thanks for doing the hard part of figuring out the pattern and sharing. ✌️❤️😊
So glad you said you were going to print off a copy. I have old quilt books and I scan and print every time, they are too precious to have while I'm sewing , ironing and cutting.
Wow so beautiful😯 have looked out for a channel like yours for quite a while but now I don't have to wait any more 😃 This pattern most have been very modern in the 1940's and I enjoy it very much. I also love vintage patterns, from the late 1500 to the early 1980's. I looking forward for more videos from you, regards from Sweden 💙💚💜
I enjoyed the video. It reminded me of my mom. We used to try to figure out patterns together. I miss her. I problem won’t make it but it was fun to watch. I am 80 so I don’t crochet much anymore. Your vintage patterns were what mom and would crochet. Thank you
I have afew doilies from my great-grandmother and a tablecloth. One of her daughters made bedspreads, another made tablecloths. I made many doilies and 3tablecloths. Some of the patterns are English. The stitches are named differently so it makes life interesting to translate. Love that you like the challenge. Your work is lovely! Thank you
I come from the a long and wide line of needle crafting women. My mother use to amaze me with her ability to look a a piece of work handed down, as she could tell by the work who made it when it came to crocheted work “ oh Aunt Ivy did this” or “that was made by Grandma so-and-so”. I think every female relative I ever hand crocheted and quilted. Some also tatted, knitted, and did needle and wet felting. I’m lucky I can read and follow a pattern. Having visual tutorials help me a lot. Thank you for what you do.
Beautiful!!! My mother made this. The crochet hook is a size 7 steel, which is different than a regular crochet hook size 7. Steel hooks were used in doilies and fine crochet. I still make vintage doilies and they are as beautiful as ever.
Ah a commercial came on just as you were starting to show how to fold the petals. But I watched it cuz it was a good commercial. Mom and I used to tag team on complicated instructions like this. I would read the instructions slowly and mom would work it up til we understood what we were doing. It is hard to do alone and not lose your place or get confused. Thanks again for helping me through it.
I think I might give this a go, I'm glad you took the time to show us this, I often get mixed up with patterns although I'm trying to get better at reading them. Visuals are so much better for me and I just ADORE vintage patterns especially if they have a story behind them. Thank you so much for your knowledge and patience! I look forward to watching more of your videos ❤
Thanking you Corinna for opening my eyes to see the beauty in vintage crochet. I might not be able to make this motif as I have Cerebral Palsy on my left side. It curtails my holding some designs in the early stages. I’ve been crocheting on and off for about 60 years and spend a few hours a day on making shawls and throws ❤ just love your work and the style in which you instruct your viewers about the art of crocheting.
I am currently making this and I love it! I have been looking for such a beautiful pattern so I can make a bedspread to add to the other spread that was given me in the family. It belonged to my grandfather’s great great great great grandmother! When I am able to get it out of storage I will send you a picture. It fits a full size bed! But the most important thing I am writing about is, I cannot find the information I need regarding the granny squares! I need the measurements and the number needed! I did have one thought, if you get tons of squares, how about making another coat and auction that one too. Or make a third one and with the proceeds each be donated to each cause! Keep making these beautiful vintage items I love them! (I’d love to get the publications but I am on a social security income). Love, Elizabeth 💜
Your enthusiasm is so encouraging. Whether it is a vintage pattern or your own patterns. It is how I feel when I decide to make a pattern and I don't see it in other people. Also I love the idea of making one motif. Vee from Steeles the show crochet was framing her mandala doilies and hanging as art. This will be way better and more to my tastes. I believe my hands can handle just the one motif and I will have a wall of art. I think I will also put the name of the pattern and your channel on the back in case anyone in the future every wants to crochet the entire bedspread. Thanks so much for all of the hard work and making it look so fun.
I adore your enthusiasm. U remind me so much of myself when a beautiful piece finally works out! lol I've definitely gotta give this a try too, if only for the "flower". It's simply stunning! My husband's maternal side of the fam was from Austria & his great grandmother worked in a factory doing this type of work. She would often bring extra work home for his grandmother(born late 1800's)& her sister to do for extra money. Our children were born in '87 & '90 & I still have the blankets his mema made them. I'm still speechless thinking how beautiful they are! I learned basic crochet at 14/15yrs old & I was so fortunate she taught me how to make a few things. Mema lived to be 99 1/2yrs old! She was amazing. ❤ Thxs for sharing!
I just discovered your channel this morning 🥰 Let the binge watching begin... whilst I crochet (albeit a modern pattern) I inherited my Grandmother's knitting needles and crochet hooks, including some vintage steel hooks... so tiny! I'm determined to use them.... (in Good lighting 😂)
That's really beautiful! I was working on a shawl while watching you do this. I can't imagine how long it would take to make an entire bedspread! That's some serious dedication!
That is like a Mandela pattern only monochromatic. I can't decide which one is prettier. I'd LOVE to work that pattern into a hat, scarf or focal point in a top. That is simply gorgeous!
My grandma made amazing table clothes, bedspreads, doilies all with that thread type. So tiny and the hooks so small, not sure my hands can handle that. But ohh, i remember sitting and watching her for hrs. Lve your vintage channel. Thanks for sharing.

My French speaking grandmother who taught me to crochet made bedspreads with colored sheets underneath to show her crochet work. Her bedspreads would change depending the season. She taught me to crochet, and I love it.
Ma'am how long did it take to make the 1 water Lily motif? Plz & tyvm. Soooo beautiful 💜
Please, How can I get the crochet book 1944?
My Mother and Grndmother made five of this bedspread in the early fifties. I was about 10 years old and never realized how involved it was
Oh wow!! That a load of work
I'm thoroughly impressed! I'm wanting to make a baby blanket with this. I hope I can finish before mid-November.
@@sheristewart3940 great idea.
Gorgeous ❤
@@sheristewart3940 Hi Sheri! How's the blanket coming along?
Kind Regards,
Beryl
This makes a beautiful bedspread. My mother made 2 by herself while I was in grade school back in the 60s. She'd take it with her everywhere that she'd be sitting waiting.
I always have a project portable enough to take with me if I know I'm going to be waiting with nothing else to do. Surprising how much gets accomplished while "waiting", lol.
I also keep my traveling basket of crochet near the door to grab on my way out the door. Recently, I didn't take it and I nearly went nuts waiting with empty hands. 🥴
Do you own one now? Do they still exist? Hope so. How wonderful
@@karentzn I have a tablecloth that my sister in law crochet for my mother in the 70's. I have several vintage (prior to 72) table napkins and placemats my great aunt Laura Mulford made, some paintings and wood carvings she made.
She is named in the who's who of American artists from Nebraska and taught art at UC Berkeley. I have a quilt top my great grandmother pieced in the 1860's. It is teal green and white double irish chain. I had just finished a teal and white double irish chain for my son. Was I ever suprized to open that box from my mother. I didn't know she had it. I am the only quilter in the family.
@@laurienorton7422 that sounds awesome. I’m the only quilter in my family. I have 3 daughters and non quilt. I give away quite a few of my quilts. I just love making them. A huge Bonnie Hunter lover. Watch The Last Homely House by Kate. Enjoy
I just received two of these from my mom. One is ecru. The second one is white with the round pleats pink. They are both queen-sized bedspreads. She is 90 and a marvelous crocheter. She also crocheted each of us 5 kids tablecloths. I treasure them all.
Another little tip from the 40+ year crocheter, lol. For a faster moving, heavier weight, warmer, blanket, use a nice barely fingering weight yarn instead of crochet cotton. You won’t need as many motifs. You can really use as big of a yarn as you want, although it loses some of the beauty if you get too big. I once made a “doily” with worsted weight and it was gorgeous! I spread it out over the back of the couch and it was truly lovely. You do very nice work! I am enjoying your videos immensely!
Thanks for sharing this tip! I love the vintage look but know my fingers could never work with the fine thread.
That is a great idea. I was already thinking of trying with a light weight acrylic, so it can be actually used and washed.
I was thinking of doing this very thing! :) thanks for the tips!
My Grandma would have loved your podcast.. She would have been 109 this year.. She did all kinds of crochet like bedspreads, curtains, tablecloths, wall hangings and doilies.... I was watching this podcast, knitting on a sock..
I had my grandmothers crochet books. They were $0.10 a piece my ex stole them. This was one of them. I’m sitting here loving these patterns. My broken heart hasn’t mended in 5 years. I made a bag out of this.
My grandmother made several bedspreads and tablecloths by herself. This is in the days of outhouses (no indoor bathrooms), wringer washers, hand hanging clothes out to dry. Ironing EVERYTHING. No microwaves. Cloth diapers. No fast food or frozen dinners. Growing a garden and canning the produce. I’m feeling very lazy right now. 😥😥😥
I was thinking about that--exactly what do the young ladies do!! The thread arts are not necessary. Even in the 1980s *I* had to make my own as I could afford nothing but raw materials. I really wanted a Dutch Tile bedspread but could not figure it out.
I love the look of vintage crochet. I still have vintage doilies my grandmother made.
I can't wait to try this pattern. It wouldn't be possible without your tutorial. I've been crocheting over 47 years but could never understand the written pattern. Video tutorials are a godsend because it allows me to learn so many new stitches and patterns.
One other thing I would like to thank you for is your neutral nail polish. A lot of crochet tutorials are hard to follow because the crocheter wears garish, glittery, or decorated nails. Since my eyesight isn't the greatest, even with glasses, I find this very distracting, especially if they are long nails that hide a lot of the stitches.
Blessings!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for demonstrating this motif.
I just came here after visiting your Etsy shop to buy this pattern.
I had been following the written pattern with no problems. It’s been so enjoyable.
Then I got to the round where the points are joined for the flower. I have been sitting here, with a big question mark in the thought bubble over my head.
I will be watching this video for your expertise.
ETA thank you! Your demonstration was so clear. Just wonderful! You have totally made my day!
I will be saving this video.
My mother started a crochet bedspread when I was a teenager ( I am now 79) and she hot so tired of working on ot and buying more yarn gor it when it was large enough to cover the donong room table she stlopped and was so proud ohf it. I still have it and treasure it. Ot is a joy to use it on very special occasions.❤
I was so fascinated by your work that I watched three of your videos straight through this morning! I could NOT look away! As a kid, I remember seeing crocheted lacework tablecloths & bedspreads made by family members. You may be correct about them being group efforts, but I know that at least one piece we had was made by a single woman. Thank you for choosing this stunning motif and demonstrating that it's still alive and well in the hands of creators. I look forward to more tutorials... interpreting some of the cryptic terminology was extremely helpful!
Oh, thank you so much for that ❤️
I was listening to her say "it must have taken one woman months to finish this" and immediately thought - doesn't it usually take months to finish a blanket? It certainly does for me!
I think your videos are completely mesmerising and totally amazing, and your voice is really soothing. I'm sorry if that sounds creepy haha I didn't mean anything like that 😅 anyway I've watched all your videos and I've started them all again but this time I've actually bit the bullet and decided to try using cotton yarn. I'm usually sat here saying I want to make one of those, but never do anything about it, thinking it may be too hard. so I've just bought 42 balls of yarn off amazon for £18 and I'm going to make everything from the first video onwards. It looks really difficult, but I like a challenge, and you explain everything so clearly, so I'm hoping I can do it. Wish me luck, haha
I just discover your Channel. It is stunning. I've begun crochet 40 years ago (I'm 52). I 've learned with those dollies. Go on like this. You are Amazing
I'm going to find the link. It's very old, but there was this old lady who had made a bedspread from which I believe is the same motif patten. If it's not, it's pretty close.
Anyway, this grandmother finally finished the bedspread that she had started in her early 20's as she was getting ready to get married. Life got in the way and though she worked on it again from time to time.
This video that I watched probably15 years ago, brought me back into crochet. I learned the basics as a kid but no one taught me how to follow patterns or graphs till my daughter was an adult and she picked up knitting and crochet.
It's been my therapy for the past 6-7 years as I've been recovering from a series of TBI's and a couple violent assaults. (I worked in a locked facility with violent mental health clients)
It was really fun watching you and encouraging you over the internets.
This is a cool channel. Thanks for doing it.
Take care.
I found it, it's not even similar. LOL! I misremembered. we need to find this pattern.
ruclips.net/video/aYVQ1dsRqfE/видео.html
I just checked it out, she is amazing!!
@@justvintagecrochet is T she? 🌼💙
I have done many of this, I have like one quart of a queen bed done. I didn't know is from the 1944.
Thanks so much !
I love the niche you have found with the vintage crochet patterns. You do a nice job of explaining these and showing your work. I love the mystery ones too - that was an inspired idea!
Such a lot of work! But, it makes a beautiful heirloom. I had a bedspread similar to this pattern from my grandmother. It weighed a TON, though, and didn't use it. I ended up asking my oldest daughter if she would like it, and of course, she did. I am so glad she wanted it. A lot of younger people do not see the history in handmaid things. She does crochet and sew, so she is more interested than her peers. Love your videos.
Your one block is lovely. I can't even imagine making enough for a bedspread. Those ladies must have had a mountain of patience to get them finished.
I’m speechless. So much intricate labor. Three days of your time. Thank you.
thank you!
My late Mother-in-law made a gorgeous queen sized bedspread out of ivory size 10 cotton for her middle daughter . She had made 4 extra squares. When she passed away, my SIL had a square framed for me, I look at it every day. So, you can also make these for stunning artwork in your home or as a gift. Love these projects!!
These were probably something that was made for a special occasion, like a gift for when someone got married.
I had the book with this pattern years ago. I made a bedspread with worsted yarn with it, and found--in case anyone wants to try this- the weight of the worsted pulled on the rest of the bedspread stretching it a bit, and it was extremely heavy--not too comfortable, but very warm. So it has to be made with the finer threads for best use. Fingering yarn might work, I have not tried it, but I would not recommend anything larger than a twin size bedspread with any of the worsted weights. However, I did a tablecloth with thread as used in the video of a very similar pattern and it worked fine, did not stretch easily unless done so while wet and is still being used even though that was a good many years ago I made it. Just some advice hopefully to help.
I congratulate you on your patience and persistence to complete this pattern. Ythe vintage patterns put modern patterns to shame. Addicted to this channel.
At the petal folding, since you were folding odd number stitched groups, after slip stitching 8, you should have had a "center stitch" you were joining towards. You were right initially. 😊 This reminds me of stuff my grandma and great grandma had in their houses. They were prolific crocheters. Thank you for sharing!
Your channel popped up in my suggestions and I clicked and sat amazed at your work. You have a great way of showing while talking through the process and although I will never attempt something like this I love to crochet. I put down my project and was mesmerised, had coffee and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent watching. I have subscribed and look forward to whats to come. I will also be checking out the videos you have on your channel. Thank you for sharing and your voice is so soothing, yet I can feel your enthusiasm for what you are doing. Just Great! I'm from across the pond in the UK and love your accent. Best wishes.🙂
Thank you so much for that ❤️
And who said the 40s wasn't sophisticated??? WOW thanks for sharing, beautiful choice
Wow, I am surprised by how gorgeous this is. Crochet thread is too fine for my poor eyesight, but I feel inspired to try one of these with fingering weight cotton, just for fun. It doesn't look difficult, now that you've clarified the instructions. I'm beyond impressed by anyone with the perseverance to make 50+ of these into a single bedspreads. The hours of work involved... that's an act of love.
Decades ago, I found this pattern and asked my very talented MIL to make me 2 decor bed pillows for me! One of my treasured handmade items from her!
Sometimes the best thing to have along with all the rest of the usual equipment is a picture and a magnifying glass. With me(,since I’m a lefty) I have found out I do have to look at a picture and need the magnifying glass to count the stitches !!🥰
Simply amazing that someone (obviously a math whiz) sat down and created such beauty from what my husband calls "a stick and some string." Haha!
Seriously, I am always in awe of the intricacy of vintage patterns, so like the patterns being designed in Russia today. How they come up with their ideas is way beyond me.
Thank you, sweet Corrina, for helping us decode and demystify these intricate patterns and to create this beauty for ourselves, one stitch at a time.
Love and stitches from Tennessee!
When you were doing the DC and didn’t like working in just BLO, you could have picked up the back loop and the back bump loop for stability and still have the front loop making the “line” in the pattern. I use this technique a lot.
I have to start off with WOW! I am just now seeing this video, and it is January 3, 2024! Almost an entire year since you first published this video. I wonder how many people have followed along with you in doing this first complete motif of this bedspread that you are demonstrating. Your video just happened to come into my RUclips feed this morning. I have not seen crochet like this since I was a child. I actually completed a tablecloth doing fine crochet work like this back when I was a teenager; I am now 65. I started out as a crocheter, but I found that crochet designs seemed to change from beautiful work like this to granny squares, endless chevron blankets and very ill-conceived and ugly clothing that I would never dare wear in public. Although my mother and an aunt had previously been unsuccessful at teaching me, I had finally reached my limit of my frustration with what I saw as bad crochet design, and I finally taught myself to knit. I set my crochet hooks aside, except for rare instances, like baby outfits for friends or to repair a mistake in my knitting. Well now you’ve inspired me! And as I write this, you are only into round three in your video!
You picked the most wonderful design for your first demonstration on this channel. And might I marvel at the pristine condition this booklet is in! Your friend took amazing care with these patterns.
For anyone who would like to try this but feel intimidated at the fine thread and small hook, or if your eyesight has deteriorated over the years as mine has, I’d like to suggest getting a hands-free magnifier. I used to use one for petit-point needlepoint. It really helps with seeing these small stitches and keeping your place. I checked to see if these magnifiers are still made; they are, and they now include built-in LED lights!
I have one other question before I turn back to the video. Are you the mind behind NewAgainCrochet in the Etsy listing? If you are, then that’s what I needed to know. If not, then I’d like to know whether this design and other vintage designs that you’ll be demonstrating are still under copyright protection? If they’re not, would you consider making the written instructions available? I imagine that some of the patterns might be very hard to locate otherwise.
I imagine that by now you’ve already published many other videos of other beautiful designs. Like I said earlier, you just happened to jump into my feed this morning, so this is the first video I’m seeing, and I’m only up to round three in the video. I got so excited that I had to stop it and write! I can’t wait to finish watching this one to see what else you’ve done over the past year. Thanks for resurrecting these designs!
It’s beautyful, i’m starting to day to make it .
I am wanting to make a tablecloth for my antique table and i need it to ne round and this would be beautiful. I am watching everything i can to maybe figure out how to connect circular doilies to make a circle i stead of a square/rectangle. I am hoping just a bunch of repeats and i want to make it look a little more modern. This is beautiful. I frame all my doilies! I am proud of all of them.
OMG.... i am only 15 min into the video, but i have to comment! I started crocheting doilies in late 60s and into 70s... i also did afghans, but the fine work is what i was interested in. I have so many of those original books from the 30s and 40s and also those reprints from late 19th century. I have been much more into knitting lace since the 80s, but i can still drool over those beautiful crocheted bedspreads!
Thank you! and welcome :)
I have a BedSpread my Great Grandmother made with these.
I have so many memories of sitting at her feet and crocheting with my fingers, as she worked on it ❤
This is so gorgeous. I came across your videos about a week ago and am over the moon with excitement. I love to crochet but haven't done any for a while cause I kinda lost inspiration but I am now so inspired and fired up and rearing to go again. I have all of my grandmother's old patterns and some of her mother's too so I think you can see why I am inspired.
I love this pattern and the fact that it dates from the year my mother was born has me itching to find my crotchet hooks, go buy the materials required and get started on it. I am loving your tutorials as they are great for someone like me who is vision impaired. I use special magnifying glasses to watch the tutorials and have a special magnifying lamp that will help me when i am working. I must have known I was going to be doing this again because a few months back I actually bought some of those row markers you have lol.
I'm so excited!!! Thank you Corinna for opening my eyes up to a brighter world. I also have some physical and mobility disabilities that force me to be off my feet almost 24/7. No, I am not wheelchair bound but have chronic ulcers on the bottom of my feet and a few others issues. I'm not complaining because there are others out there far worse off than me. I have aids to help me see and support workers to help with my daily living .......and I can still do all my handicrafts!!!!
Keep those beautiful patterns coming......I'm off to find my crotchet hooks.....we moved a while ago and I haven't unpacked my craft room yet. ❤❤❤
The type of crochet cotton abbreviated in the instructions is "mercerised". Much better/prettier finished product using mercerised cotton. Definition from Wikipedia, "Mercerisation is a textile finishing treatment for cellulose fabric and yarn, mainly cotton and flax, which improves dye uptake and tear strength, reduces fabric shrinkage, and imparts a silk-like luster."
Your work is truly beautiful. I remember as a young girl watching not only my mother, but my grandmother and other family members create beautiful crochet pieces. Many of Which I have today. Looking back, I always wish I too, had learned these skills, It is through watching your tutorials that I too have wanted to learn to correctly read and follow a pattern so as I can create amazing pieces of Work so I can hand down to my children. I’m looking at purchasing this pattern through Etsy and I’m wondering, do you demonstrate how to create the hexagonal pieces.
This will look beautiful as a table doily
I'm vintage myself!😂The piece you're doing is absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to make one in different colors! I just wanna see if it will look as good as the white is! Ya never know cause its hard to beat that vintage white in anything. Thank you for showing us your vintage book! I love it🥰
Thank you so much! and you're very welcome :)
Very beautiful! Thank you. I made a bedspread. I crochet for 1,5 jears but it was worth it!
Thank you so much for such detailed and concise instructions, I haven't done this type work for many, many years but I may just give it a try. Can you imagine the talent and thought of the person who actually designed this? Amazing!!!
I’m glad you are sussing out the pattern for us. I’m already cross eyed and only on row seven. I do hope I stay the course. I just can’t imagine making a bedspread, I’d be worn out. If I manage one piece I will be thrilled. Will let you know.
The top of the 1st popcorn stitch is the 1st chain. I see there are two tops. Your choice. I love this.
Wow 😯 isn’t it amazing the work that was put into these pieces back then?!?! I have to try this one of these days. This will probably a very long project ❤ thank you
It sure is!! They were artists ❤️, I hope you do, even if only the one tile as an art piece like I did, it’s hanging on my hallway wall between family photos 😊
Sometimes I like to watch crochet while I'm crocheting. I got half way and stopped my graphghan to start this beautiful square. 😍
Then I sent your video to a new friend of mine and she tells me she has MANY crochet magazines just like this one from her grandmother and mom 😲!!!! I feel like I won a prize 😅
Wonderful! :) and thank you :)
I enjoyed every bit of this tutorial! Its wonderful watching it develop and to see the size of the tile when finished. I enjoyed watching you questioning if you have done it right, checking the pattern and making a decision and going for it.
I am in awe of the ladies of the era who made these. It is more than a beautiful pattern. It is a testament of the women's character from those days. With all the other domestic demands they were expected to attend, they must have had impeccable organisation, patience and determination to complete such a project as this.
So, here's a shout out to all our Mums from vintage and beyond - you are our silent soldiers, remembered, cherished and loved ❤
Just Vintage Crochet, thank you for these tutorials. I felt like I was with you too 😊
So we’ll said!! ❤️
And thank you 🤗
That block is beautiful! What a job to read through the pattern! You did a wonderful job! Thank you so much 😊
This is gorgeous. My mom made one. It came from a book called Granny Squares and Nanny Squares
I bought this very blanket for $3 at Salvation Army! Its absolutely beautiful!
You really need to put museum glass to preserve the color if you’re going to frame it! It’s absolutely gorgeous!! I can’t imagine making enough to do a bedspread! I think I’d go blind & my hands would cramp up with arthritis! 😂😂
i love how enthusiastic you are about us trying to make one tile as a challenge bc y know what why not? idk how to crochet but this seems interesting so maybe i'll learn now and have this as a thing to work up to
I love how you treated ending your piece! I agree with you that it's a work of art. If it were me, I would go a step farther and mount it in a shadow box so that it will be protected behind glass. You do such beautiful work, in thread as well as in yarn! I miss thread crochet so much - that is what Mama taught me with and what I used almost exclusively for decades. Thank you for another great tutorial! Watching your tutorials, I feel like we're sitting together, drinking coffee, yacking and crocheting. Makes sense to me that you feel the same! 😉
I surely do feel that very same lol, and a shadow box would actually be perfect! thank you :) I have decided to hang it in the hallway between 2 groups of family photos I have mounted :)
and thank you so much :)
@@justvintagecrochet Ahhh...a hallway gallery of things most precious to you. Sweet!
@@rosemarycreollo4326 🥰
This is one item a girl would make to put into her hope chest. It would be filled with items she and her family collected and made over years so she could have starter household items for when she married and had her own home.
Oh man i bought a blanket years ago and have spent around 10 years trying to find a similar pattern so I can try and make a spare one because I am too frightened to damage the original, I have never seen another like it, its the most beautiful blanket i have ever seen and I paid 50 pounds for it, honestly it must have taken someone months or even years to make! Thank you so much for posting this!
Hi, Corinna. I wanted to thank you for reminding me about this pattern! (Water Lily Bedspread) I've had this pattern for YEARS and have always wanted to do it and watching your RUclips video today inspired me to get going on - so thank you SO much! 🥰
You are so welcome!
I was thinking to do this as a motif on the back of a cardigan. It would take a bit to work out, but I have seen some nice cardigans with mandalas on the back that I will look into.
Omg I am making this same pattern! I got some confusion going on the pattern, so I set it aside. This would help me a lot! Thanks!
Thank You so much ! This was the same 'pattern' I used to watch my Great Grandmother work on for years, while sitting at her feet crocheting. I have the Bedspread she made, and now I will work on something.
GOD Bless
💜🙏💜
Thank you so much , and I love to hear people’s history with these patterns, it connects us all 🤗❤️
God Bless you as well, thank you so much for that 🥰
@@justvintagecrochet ... Thank 'you' for bringing that Pattern and those memories back to life, for me.
I will love the that of Grandmom hopefully smiling as I crochet along with your Tutorial ❤
You definitely have to have worked with size10 and the tiny hooks. I started learning with these. Filet Crochet. I don’t see as well as I use to, but I can work this pattern. I also have vintage mags from my best friend’s grandmother. I’m blessed…
Lovely. So happy to have found you. Ordered pattern. Thanks for link! I’ll be hooking along with you. Thanks for sharing this pattern. I’ve subscribed ❤
The screenshots are priceless. Thank you!
I'm super glad you told us about the microwave; I kept thinking it was MY microwave! Beautiful piece to begin with. I suggest you put a card in the next mystery offering to remind us and those who find you in the middle of the wonder of vintage crochet
I love vintage so when I read the name of your channel, I had to take a look. Glad I did. I am hooked. I will be making some of the patterns that you share. Working on this one right now. I don’t have many hours in a week to crochet. I try to work on one project before I start another one, however, I am working on this one and another. I love working on this one. It is my first time working with thread. Love watching you work and decipher the patterns. Thank you for your time and talent. You voice is wonderful to listen too as well.
I left you an email from me. Just the number 2 instead of 4. With something I was hoping you could help me with. I absolutely love that you are willing to do actual vintage patterns. Thank you so very much for keep this craft alive.
Got it! and thank you , I did just send a reply :)
Thank you to Rosemary to, now we all get to make these beautiful crochet bedspreads 😊. I can’t wait to make these. Thank you for sharing, it’s really hard to find vintage crochet patterns
I have this magazine! I got it in a junk shop about 45 years ago and treasure it!!!
Made this but only partially. I stopped where I got lost but that’s ok. It looks great as it is. Is a table decoration. Maybe a doily. It will collect dust but that’s ok. It’s going to make someone feel special receiving it.
This pattern is so beautiful and you are amazing to work it for us. Pattern from 1944 oh my.
I was born in 1943 and love this pattern so much. I am able to crochet along with you. I like how you ended your block. Thank you so much. I will certainly follow along with the other patterns you will work for us.
This is stunning.
Wow that is stunning. Thank you for this tutorial.
I made the water lily and then lost the will to live. I admire anyone who can complete one motif, let alone a bedspread. That is some feat. Tfs
I hear that!! 😊
I have no idea how come I did not find this channel before! Thank you so much!
Welcome!
I just got here from looking back at some of the vids you've done and never saw this one before today.
Sorry to be nit-picky but when you were doing round 29 by repeating round 27 you were incorrect. 27 is sc every stitch but corners get 3 sts around. This is such a lovely piece and just the kind of thing I needed to pump up my 'cro-jo' again; (tired of doing scarves). Thank you for all the hard work you did for this pattern.
I don't know why I'm just finding your channel, but it's fantastic! I looooove stuff like this! Thanks for doing the hard part of figuring out the pattern and sharing. ✌️❤️😊
So glad you said you were going to print off a copy. I have old quilt books and I scan and print every time, they are too precious to have while I'm sewing , ironing and cutting.
Really nice. Thank you.
Wow so beautiful😯 have looked out for a channel like yours for quite a while but now I don't have to wait any more 😃 This pattern most have been very modern in the 1940's and I enjoy it very much.
I also love vintage patterns, from the late 1500 to the early 1980's.
I looking forward for more videos from you, regards from Sweden 💙💚💜
I enjoyed the video. It reminded me of my mom. We used to try to figure out patterns together. I miss her. I problem won’t make it but it was fun to watch. I am 80 so I don’t crochet much anymore. Your vintage patterns were what mom and would crochet. Thank you
You are so welcome! and thank you :)
I have afew doilies from my great-grandmother and a tablecloth. One of her daughters made bedspreads, another made tablecloths. I made many doilies and 3tablecloths. Some of the patterns are English. The stitches are named differently so it makes life interesting to translate. Love that you like the challenge. Your work is lovely! Thank you
I come from the a long and wide line of needle crafting women. My mother use to amaze me with her ability to look a a piece of work handed down, as she could tell by the work who made it when it came to crocheted work “ oh Aunt Ivy did this” or “that was made by Grandma so-and-so”. I think every female relative I ever hand crocheted and quilted. Some also tatted, knitted, and did needle and wet felting. I’m lucky I can read and follow a pattern. Having visual tutorials help me a lot. Thank you for what you do.
Beautiful!!! My mother made this. The crochet hook is a size 7 steel, which is different than a regular crochet hook size 7. Steel hooks were used in doilies and fine crochet. I still make vintage doilies and they are as beautiful as ever.
I subscribed. I love the pattern books from the past. Awesome! I'm making my first bedspread now, but I want to make vintage patterns. Love it!
Working in the 1st chain is like the magic circle
Ah a commercial came on just as you were starting to show how to fold the petals. But I watched it cuz it was a good commercial. Mom and I used to tag team on complicated instructions like this. I would read the instructions slowly and mom would work it up til we understood what we were doing. It is hard to do alone and not lose your place or get confused. Thanks again for helping me through it.
thank you so much and you're very welcome :)
I think I might give this a go, I'm glad you took the time to show us this, I often get mixed up with patterns although I'm trying to get better at reading them. Visuals are so much better for me and I just ADORE vintage patterns especially if they have a story behind them. Thank you so much for your knowledge and patience! I look forward to watching more of your videos ❤
Thanking you Corinna for opening my eyes to see the beauty in vintage crochet. I might not be able to make this motif as I have Cerebral Palsy on my left side. It curtails my holding some designs in the early stages. I’ve been crocheting on and off for about 60 years and spend a few hours a day on making shawls and throws ❤ just love your work and the style in which you instruct your viewers about the art of crocheting.
Wonderful! and thank you so much :)
I am currently making this and I love it! I have been looking for such a beautiful pattern so I can make a bedspread to add to the other spread that was given me in the family. It belonged to my grandfather’s great great great great grandmother! When I am able to get it out of storage I will send you a picture. It fits a full size bed! But the most important thing I am writing about is, I cannot find the information I need regarding the granny squares! I need the measurements and the number needed! I did have one thought, if you get tons of squares, how about making another coat and auction that one too. Or make a third one and with the proceeds each be donated to each cause! Keep making these beautiful vintage items I love them! (I’d love to get the publications but I am on a social security income). Love, Elizabeth 💜
Your enthusiasm is so encouraging. Whether it is a vintage pattern or your own patterns. It is how I feel when I decide to make a pattern and I don't see it in other people. Also I love the idea of making one motif. Vee from Steeles the show crochet was framing her mandala doilies and hanging as art. This will be way better and more to my tastes. I believe my hands can handle just the one motif and I will have a wall of art. I think I will also put the name of the pattern and your channel on the back in case anyone in the future every wants to crochet the entire bedspread. Thanks so much for all of the hard work and making it look so fun.
Thank you so much . Grace. As always, I look forward to your kind words :)
I adore your enthusiasm. U remind me so much of myself when a beautiful piece finally works out! lol I've definitely gotta give this a try too, if only for the "flower". It's simply stunning! My husband's maternal side of the fam was from Austria & his great grandmother worked in a factory doing this type of work. She would often bring extra work home for his grandmother(born late 1800's)& her sister to do for extra money. Our children were born in '87 & '90 & I still have the blankets his mema made them. I'm still speechless thinking how beautiful they are! I learned basic crochet at 14/15yrs old & I was so fortunate she taught me how to make a few things. Mema lived to be 99 1/2yrs old! She was amazing. ❤ Thxs for sharing!
Thank you so much :)
I just discovered your channel this morning 🥰 Let the binge watching begin... whilst I crochet (albeit a modern pattern) I inherited my Grandmother's knitting needles and crochet hooks, including some vintage steel hooks... so tiny! I'm determined to use them.... (in Good lighting 😂)
Fabulous! Thank you.
oh my finger would be so sore and tired holding it out like that. beautiful work.
hahaha I saw your thumbnail photo really small on my screen and came here thinking it was about making a crocheted parasol!
That's really beautiful! I was working on a shawl while watching you do this. I can't imagine how long it would take to make an entire bedspread! That's some serious dedication!

this is the most helpful part of this tutorial, i couldnt see where i was going!
That is like a Mandela pattern only monochromatic. I can't decide which one is prettier. I'd LOVE to work that pattern into a hat, scarf or focal point in a top. That is simply gorgeous!
My grandma made amazing table clothes, bedspreads, doilies all with that thread type. So tiny and the hooks so small, not sure my hands can handle that. But ohh, i remember sitting and watching her for hrs. Lve your vintage channel. Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome!
