I think you need to write a book of all the patterns ‘translated’ with pictures of the finished product. Maybe a mystery pattern book with the pictures at the end. Would be fun. That said, we can also crochet along with you and experiment at the same time. That is much fun to watch you.
The way I'm interpreting the stitch guide is its the same stitch but it's called a slip stitch when it's into a chain and it's called a single crochet when you work in a previous row
Right, and “last but one” means second chain from the hook. ETA: but wait, then it says to SC into the chain when we’ve established that we SS into the chain? Also I don’t know how you work 25 slip stitches into a 10 chain…
I think a lot of the confusion that comes with reading the patterns is trying to automatically put it in modern terms. You have been crocheting for some time, so your brain seems to start making conversions very quickly. I am new to crochet, so when I read these patterns alond with you, I am making no assumptions about what the pattern means, but reading exactly what it states. I approach all patterns this way, because it seems that every pattern maker has their own way of doing things and explaining them. I also do this with knitting patterns, after getting far into a project and realizing the pattern maker did not work the stitch in "the usual" way. With all that being said, I highly enjoy the mental gymnastics that you go through. You randomly popped up on my feed, and now I am a fan!
I quitted see several RUclips channels, because i don’t agree the knitters just speak about their items. Only a few of them share their knowledge. Thank you for being so generous. ❤
What?! There are dozens (at least!) of channels and literally THOUSANDS of videos on RUclips that are knit and crochet tutorials. Also, those makers who do episodic videos where they show their works in progress and finished pieces always state what the patterns are they're using so others can get them. There's nothing wrong with this kind of content and there are PLENTY of tutorial ones out there.
@@scarletohhaha6938Yes! This is totally fake news. I’m a self-taught knitter who has learned the majority of my almost 19 years of knowledge from RUclips.
I love listening and watching…problem is, I’m sitting here crocheting a completely different project while I listen, that requires a lot of counting! Lol 😆…. 13, 14, 6, 7, 8…. Haha
I'm not making your mystery pattern along with you, but I am working a vintage filet project. While you fuss with what's going on in yours, I'm encouraged to keep fussing about what's going on in mine. Two thumbs up.👍👍
I think maybe the slip stitch is a foundation chain. So chain two, insert the needle into the first chain, draw yarn through both loops and keep going for the required amount of stitches
I am always amazed how you are able to follow these old patterns with success. It is a talent that I will never have. And, you make it so much fun to watch.❤
I think she's amazing. Just hearing her read it out makes my brain itch. I guess once you're used to doing a few you get the gist but they seem to really assume you know a lot already...like they're quite vague.
I can imagine a lady in the 1800s being just distraught that all her work didn't result in something that looked like the picture. Today, it's entertaining! Good effort all around!
I think you're correct about that not being the same hat in the picture. There's an old photograph of me at 3 years-old and my dad was holding me, and my hat looked very much like the one you made.
Catching up on your videos and vlogs today. I've missed you! Not sure if you've discovered this "trick" on your own, but I've learned that to research almost any topic I can type ">insert general name of topic< reference library" withoout any punctuation and almost always find something useful. Public and private collections on the topic you are researching will often even be digitized, with the materials free to browse or even download. I've found a lot of vintage and antique knitting and crochet patterns this way. Hope you are doing well. Hugs! ETA: I think you nailed it with the yarn selection here!
Your determination is commendable and the result is cute. But I would have loved to have seen your original try completed, doll size or not. 😊 It had that gorgeous Victorian dolly vibe that was so adorable.
Your bonnet was so much prettier than the one on the picture! And there is NO WAY that picture was that pattern!! I thought you did an excellent job of translating it! 💙
I'm at 9:29 and paused the video. Here's my guess as to the difference between 'slip stitch' and 'single crochet': slip stitch is a continuous slip stitch to the end of the row; single crochet is a one-off slip stitch between other types of stitches. Now I'll continue the video and see what this 'mystery' will be. 😆 I just love these videos! Keep doing them.
Cute baby bonnet and most definitely not the one pictured. If I were to recreate the pattern I would begin with a magic ring rather than the chain ring.
I prefer your bonnet to theirs, you did an excellent job! And no, I don't believe for a second that the picture and the pattern match up. That must have been just as frustrating back then as it is today. Working with the picture handy would have made me angry; imagine following the pattern while looking at something you're not re-creating, and not knowing how to correct it. I would have chucked it during the scallop round. I enjoyed the video, thank you for it! Side note: as you recall, I had a birthday early last month. I joked with my boss, saying that nobody crocheted me anything, after all the many things I made for them last year. I wasn't expecting them to, but it would have been nice. Six soutache bags in July alone...
One of my favorite things about crochet videos is hearing people repeatedly count. I know, it annoys some people. Not me, I love it! Just watching you go "1, 2, 3, 4" and then "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" is so incredibly relaxing. I'm crocheting with #30 thread at the moment and it's kind of a mindless crochet where I don't need to count. But I like hearing the count while I crochet because it helps me keep pace. Otherwise I just get too distracted. But then you said "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...no, 4..." and without thinking I took out my own stitch right along with your chain 😂
It is beautiful! And if you made it larger and worn it like the wig, as you showed us, it could be worn like a flapper hat. Thanks for showing your process to work through the pattern.
I started a new job and have been nervous and anxious. I found this series and I started watching them, while at work, and they’ve helped me stay calm. Thank you for taking time to do these videos!
vielen herzlichen Dank für deine Mühe und Arbeit, es hat dich wahrscheinlich gestresst/genervt - aber das Ergebnis ist wunderschön geworden, ich konnte von dir lernen - never give up!
I'm not really concerned about whether or not the final product is made with the exact right yarn or hook. The general idea of the end result will be pretty close to the same regardless. But I do appreciate you including your efforts to figure those kinds of things out, because that is definitely part of the mystery of these vintage patterns. Thanks so much for all of the work and energy you put into these!!
The stitch descriptions are - naturally - rather old-fashioned. Re the slip stitch, "the last stitch but one" means the second-to-last stitch, so you were right to insert the hook through the second stitch from the hook. Such a pretty colour.
Yes, this. And they probably had to pay for the typesetting by every single space and left out commas. “A chain being made,”COMMA, means “After you’ve made a chain” COMMA, “then go and do such and such.” I wish they’d pay for the freaking commas to set off their phrasing COMMA, it would make comprehension much easier. See what I did there? Lol. I was an English literature major in college (which is totally useless in the job market, btw), but the Victorians infamously used twelve words when one would suffice. They were generally, however, punctilious in their usage of grammar. :-D
I just found your channel and it’s very entertaining. I now understand why people had a hard time reading patterns back in the day. I will continue to enjoy your channel and maybe one day try vintage Pattern.
How beautiful!!! I'd love to size it up and make one for my sister; she's extravagant and likes to wear silk robes and bonnets to sleep in, lol ETA: You're about to hit 80k!! Congratulations!!!
I honestly prefer your bonnet turned out so much prettier than the picture. I love this channel. And I hope you didn't find me off the cuff yesterday when I asked if you were ok. It wasn't coming from a bad place. Have a wonderful night.
I love these videos. I’m a beginner at crochet, and I’ve honestly learned from watching you go through the process. I appreciate that you let us see when you have to fix something. I feel like I’m constantly unraveling. 😊
You are right, the directions do not match the picture. What you worked up looks very much like anyone else would come up with if they used that pattern. I call your bonnet a success! Good job figuring out the thread and hook sizes! Thanks for keeping me company while I am working on finishing up my project! ❤❤❤
I L♡VE this idea!! It's like a cross btwn Nancy Drew and Little House on the Prarie😬 So interesting, because these vintage techniques are what brought us to today's advancements.👏👏👏
I think it's beautiful and prefer what you did to the picture. Someone slipped up when constructing the book. That makes it a true mystery. 😂 You did a great job.
I got "hooked" on your videos with the fleur de lis bag and it was so beautiful! You've inspired me to pick up vintage crochet. This bonnet is beautiful! At the end when it looks like there are missing finishing stitches- I remember seeing the end of the pattern at the beginning of the video that read "any lace crochet pattern" to finish. Just like finishing the bead bag with any fringe or no fringe - the patterns seem to let the maker complete the project how they might like to personalize. Though, I don't know any lace patterns - I would finish with loose treble stitches for a lace effect. ❤
i wish i could talk to you while you were doing this because reading the sentence about slip stitch i think “the last stitch but one to the needle” is one phrase meaning the same way we would skip a stitch when turning a foundation chain
I really enjoy watching you figure out these patterns. Also making the vintage clothes omg, I just fell in love with the pull box hat and scarf. Feather yarn is on order😂. I crochet or quilt while you're on TV, like having a friend to do hand work with!
I just enjoyed watching this again and I agree completely. That picture is not that pattern, but I love your version better. I'm going to try to adult size it for myself. Thanks again.😊
silk 300 is silk yarn that is flowing soft yarn with a subtle shine. you can use a bigger size yarn. but you probably already know that. found it on fiber passion handmade with love website. love watching you figure out these older stitches you are a fabulous teacher. thank you for sharing and going through the process.
This was an interesting one, in that the bits that really threw you in the stitch term instructions were ‘English’ English, that just made perfect sense to me. I so wanted to be there with you to read it in my accent so it would make sense when read out loud. It was a two brain pattern!
Corrina, you did really well here. I would finish and keep the little bonnet. I find the pattern really interesting. Have you thought about putting together a project book? You’ve brought the pattern forward to modern times. Love these mystery projects.
Lovely little bonnet! I agreed with every decision you made interpreting this pattern, as painful as the processes seemed. (yes, I was "thinking" my advice to you!) Loved your research/history lesson! And I agree about bamboo/cotton yarn - it's beautiful and has a wonderful silky feel, but the yarn splitting will drive you NUTS! I've only used Yonkey Monkey's bamboo cotton, as it was rated the best bamboo/cotton yarn at that time. Thank you for another one of your excellent tutorial
For the bell gague: I don't know if this has been brought up yet. I've also been having to do a lot of research on (the painful lack of consistency across) historic thread and hook/needle sizes. One thing I did discover is that for the outside parts of the bell gague, you don't measure by the circle bit but by the skinnier parallel line part. (gotta love how confusing that is) Still watching the video, so it may come up before the end. Really excited to see the rest, though!!!
Using the wrong thread is part of the mystery, imo. It's fun to see it worked up too big or too small.
That turned out so pretty, I would wear it.
I think you need to write a book of all the patterns ‘translated’ with pictures of the finished product. Maybe a mystery pattern book with the pictures at the end. Would be fun.
That said, we can also crochet along with you and experiment at the same time. That is much fun to watch you.
I would buy this
Would be a hit! Bestseller! Young ppl should do something really creative again! ❤
Applied History to solve Scooby Mysteries. I fully enjoy your videos.
New discovery! A journey to the Past! I ❤ it as a Cancerian and History fan...

@@jaynnnewell4722 I took it as you do the 25 around the 10 stitches like over in granny squares.
the yarn I sent makes another appearance!!! the blue bamboo yarn was sent by me!!! 😁😁😁 so awesome, and the video is great !!!!!
I am very grateful for that beautiful yarn!
Lovely yarn!!!! ❤❤
Totally looks like truboo sky blue color 😊

I am so impressed with your tenacity and sleuth work. I agree with you on every point. Turned out beautiful.
Last stitch but one is an old fashioned way of saying next to last. In other words second stitch from the hook.
It is also a very British way of saying it. 😆
Yes,indeed.
It's like saying it would've been the last one but one made it being not the last one 😂
I came to the comments to say this. I’ve also seen it in another of her other mystery videos.

@loriwilson7053 what haters? I've never seen a bad comment on this channel.
I so love, "I almost lost my hook in the crack of the couch". Lol. These old patterns are written so complicated the way they are written.
That picture is of a very different bonnet pattern. You followed the pattern as well as anyone could. Great job. Your work is adorable!
Thank you so much!
I can imagine a lady in the 1800s being just distraught that all her work didn't result in something that looked like the picture. Today, it's entertaining! Good effort all around!
😂🤣 I'm dying, at all the figuring out of thread/yarn, hooks and the stitch mistakes. So entertaining and relatable lol

@kaytiej8311 Yes, the one she did for her very first try was very cute and demure. Lol
In my book it doesn't really matter if you've got the exact thickness of thread/yarn, it's what the pattern LOOKS LIKE that's more important.
Knitting silk is a med weight yarn
Never boring Corrina, always something to learn together at your mental expense. 🤗❤️❤️
