Can we just agree how gorgeous her nails are!!
No antique books were harmed, 🤣
LOL
@@justvintagecrochet , im still working on this too, 👀! Watch n re- watch, do n do over! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been a fan of most murder mysteries since Perry Mason. It never occurred to me that we could have a crochet mystery. You are great! I loved it. I’m 74 and I’ve been crocheting since 7. ❤❤❤
My mother-in-law who taught me to crochet could just look at a picture of a crocheted item and without the instructions recreate the item. A picture really does say a thousand words. So much easier to crochet an item with ambiguous directions when you can see a picture. Good on ya for attempting this. It’s such fun and a mystery. Thanks for your videos. They are great.
wow! that is so talented!! and thank you so much, I can't wait to make more mystery patterns :)
My grandma could figure out how to crochet anything just looking at a picture, too. Amazing! I can figure out a lot, but it helps to have a pattern or the object on hand to reference, and even then I'll likely tear my heart out trying 😂
This is such a fun project!
@@justvintagecrochet I was taught to crochet by my grandmother that did not know how to read directions. She also would look at a peice and then crochet it. After about 6 months of letting me do this (I lived in Texas, MY grandmother lived in Mississippi.)following my grandmothers visit to Texas My mother proceded to teach me to crochet by reading directions, no photo, (because she knew what I might try to do). What I didn't know was after I went to bed (I was only 7 at the time) my Mother would crochet a few steps ahead of me so if I asked for help she would know what was up comming. In the end I can crochet by looking at a photo, the item or reading the directions. My grandmother and my mother have long since passed away and I am now 70 and I still crochet. When I was 8 one of my cousins' Grandmother taught me to knit while she was in Texas with the cousins. I still knit but after she left I had no one to continue instructing me so I never went any further, but I can still knit .... kinda, I make rectangle scarves and larger rectangle shaws and even larger rectangle blankets/throws.
@@michellejaggard9657 That's amazing! I've been crocheting since I was 5 or so and I taught myself to knit several years ago by reading patterns and watching a lot of RUclips tutorials. Once I started knitting in the round, I became obsessed and now I usually have at least one sweater cast on my needles at any given time. I don't think I could knit without a pattern, though.
@@AllTheHappySquirrels I knit and crochet as well, but I learned to knit first as a kid - I've always found crochet much easier to "fudge" and still come out with a similar result, even if I don't completely understand the instructions. I think it's because if you skip a stitch in crochet, it's usually not very noticeable. If you skip a stitch in knitting, you've suddenly got a ladder all the way down your work!
So I made this along with you but used a stash ball of 3 weight and didn't do it as a circle but did each round as a straight row. I got something that would make super cute ruffled cuffs for a blouse. :P It was lots of fun! Thanks for working the mystery with us.
oh my gosh!! that is soo stinking clever :)
@@justvintagecrochet
My understanding if the directions would have had me doing a straight line as well.
I have some pattern book left to me by my aunts. There are more directions, but still very confusing. I’m amazed my aunts were able to make the beautiful things they did with these patterns.
Oh I wish we could post pictures on here that sounds lovely
Well, that really was a journey of discovery, you’re so clever to be able to do this, I wouldn’t have a clue lol
"Just when I thought I had a handle on this pattern. . ." Story of my life :D. You are so adorable! I have really bad anxiety, and crocheting along with you is so soothing! I love how you fudge things! It shows a beginner like me that projects can be beautiful with a few imperfections. Thank you so much for being you!
I did skip to end cause I had to call SSI and then work! Needless to say, I love it. I will go back and watch the whole video for you! I love your tutorials! I’m 65, takes me back to my grandparents house! Doily’s under everything! God Bless you!! 🙏😇♥️
Awesome! Thank you!
I have a crochet booklet from 1936 and It does have B&W photos. I’ve made several of the patterns including a baby sweater and christening gown. They are definitely harder to figure out but came out beautifully!! When I’m interested in a new pattern, I try not to watch any videos about it. It’s so important to keep using our brain for things like this!! When I first started crochet in the 1960’s, there were no videos (obviously) and I had to just keep trying and trying to get the instructions right. Thanks for these videos… I’ve tried several and it’s so much fun!
Just started watching and already want this to be a series!!! Pretty please 🙏🏻 😂
oh, it totally will be :)
Yea.😊, l hope this will be a series also.
I enjoy trying to figure out what the finished item is.
This is totally frustrating, but I LOVE it.😊👍
Me too! I’m a new subscriber and am absolutely ADDICTED to her Victorian pattern mysteries! Love it and she is also super cute with her giggly personality as well as being extremely clever to unravel all these patterns. ❤❤🏴
It looked like a hair cover for a bun .great job thank you
oh indeed! , it did not say Doilly :)
That was my thought all along. A chignon cover.
Wow that terminology is crazy. It shows how much crochet terminology has changed over the years.
you ain't kiddn' ! , made me appreciate all other patterns more :)
My great grandmother did that pattern. Like a spiral. My sister has her doilies and a beautiful bedspread.
Personal experience with these very old patterns is that they often need a few adjustments to come out right. Today's patterns tell you exactly where to place each stitch, but antique patterns can be pretty vague. This was really fun. 😊
Very true! and Thank you :)
Love the vintage crochet. I made it to the end without peeking. LOL
yay! Thank you :)
You're not being snarky! You're so funny & cute! Love it when your personality comes out!
I was so pleased to find this video! A few years ago, I decided that all my knitting for a year would be from 19th century knitting instructions. I saved a file of all the books and magazines I could find and went to it! I have the one you are working from. Doing knitting without an illustration is a challenge! As well, terminology has changed over time and I had to learn a lot about yarn weights and needle sizes. So the end result is a box of very interesting items that I have no idea what to do with, but I'm very proud of. I'm not fond of crochet but might convince myself to try several patterns. The thing I enjoy most about crochet is making doilies, so I'm probably in luck there.
Hi Carol! I'm also a knitter (crochet too) and Love vintage patterns and want to knit some. Where do you find them? My mother had some books that I have but not many. So nice to know I'm not the only one who adores vintage! I concur, what to do with them all when they're done?🤔Please if you could post some photos of your work; I'll do the same somewhere. We should create a Vintage site of our recreations😁 It'd be great to see them all, now made in the 21st century! Sincerely, Nancy
Wow you are amazing. Just deciphering those things is hard!
@@Padraigp Well, thank you! (blush)
I'm both, a crochet and a knitter, and I like to watch Enginnering Knits, sometimes she has videos about Vintage Knitting methods and she actually uses a loom, not like loom knitting hut a hard-core loom machine and tells you how to use it. I find that very inspiring. I hope that helps your journey.
Can't wait. 🎉
So fun!!!!
Thank you young man for helping your mama and all of us!!!
thank you so much :)
Love to hear a fine young gentleman helping out his momma. Appreciate your time sir ✊😃
I agree with your take on #5. After seeing the title I think the name scollop works well without the last row. Lost it trying to subscribe.
The spiral looks like a rose in the center of the checkerboard! Loved this!
I thought that too! :)
I just love your statement - let it be born. Wow! That sums up how I feel with each project, even when there's a picture. Mine will be unique and is born from my creativity. Thank you for flagging this concept.
Exactly!! and thank you :)
Wow! You are amazing! I love your mystery crochet videos, but then I love mysteries and thread crochet :) Your sense of adventure, your humor, and your determination to "we're going to DO this and find out what it is" is inspiring! Thank you for this series
Thank you so much!
Your are the only one I've seen so far to do a mystery pattern and it is interesting! I stopped to comment on your 14th round so it's still a mystery. If it is a dolly you do don't have to block it for it to lay flat. My ex husband's grandmother had a lot of these and every month we would gather them all up hand wash and line dry them. I never understood why we needed to let them dry when the next step was to fill a large bowl with cold water and corn starch, place all the dollies in the water and then refrigerate over night. The next day they would go out on the line to damp dry, then brought in to iron and put back out. I never used dollies or anything else in my home after this, lol. She had a ton of these things.
Wow, that’s a lot of work!!
And thank you, I didn’t k ow there were other mystery pattern videos out there haha , I really appreciate your kind words 🤗
I just got an Old Time Crochet book that was written in 2000 with patterns from 1900s and im amazed at how intricate the patterns are. Im a beginner at crochet so I havent worked with all the weight yarns yet.
I had an older lady tell me you can make any crochet pattern with size 7 needle and size 10 cotton. It will block to the right shape and lay flat.
Also first crochet video I have watched with Amazing Grace playing in the background. 🙂
Women who crochet are just like “Yarn is Yarn and a Hook is a Hook, make the damn thing”
Love this idea!! If you really want the small pocket bag, you could make a long chain and weave it through the ch spaces on the last round like a drawstring and pop a loop on the edge opposite the tie ends. 🙂
great idea!! and thank you :)
From. Beginning it seems to be a doily. Nice job. Have not skipped to the end. Crochet puzzles are fun.
Thank you! 😊
You are doing great. So don't worry . I would love to have the pattern.
Thank you so much!
I didn't skip to the end I enjoyed how you talked through each round I did like how you went into the stitches and not through the chain it did give it a better look I can't wait for another one
Thank you so much! :)
I'm not skipping ahead, going to enjoy the mystère 😊
Thank you !! :)
I made this pattern in 4 different ways. Following the pattern and making creative decisions for them. The first 2 were a fail but the last 2 were pretty darn awesome. I'd love to share pictures of them with you. I really enjoy your channel, I've made a few different mystery patterns with you.
I am a new subscriber. I love this idea. "Plain in the chain!" = "Insane in the membrane!" LOL! My eyesight makes using smaller yarn and hooks impossible. I really enjoyed watching this. Great content.
thank you so much! and welcome :)
This is fun, never worked sn old old pattern before. Its a lot like old cooking recipes. They have certain shorthand that we don't know and assume we do.
I love the spiral in the middle of this one.
There's no way I could attempt one of these very old crochet patterns, I do enough frogging with modern patterns (and that includes with photos, and even videos!), A project like this, for me, would be like one step forward; twenty steps back. Great job!
One thing I learned many years ago while working with Vintage and British patterns was to go through the pattern and change the stitch names to the modern names, on a working copy of the pattern, of course. It helped me quite a lot! 💚
i love this channel great video about vintage patterns
Thanks so much! :)
I was tired it watched to the end and glad I did. Enjoyed your thought process 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! and thank you so much :)
This was a lot of fun. I knitted along with you. These 19th century patterns are so tricky, not matter if it's knitting or crochet, and even their cooking recipes too! A lot was assumed and already known.
That is so true! Im working on another now and it's got it's trickiness as well haha
I have some very old, circa 1900, embroidered placemats that have intricate crocheted edging made by my Aunt from England. Thanks for doing these kinds of videos. I knit and crochet but to see what their patterns were like is so intriguing.
Let me just say, I really admire your perseverance. I waited until the end, because, after all, you had to as well. You handled the reveal of the pattern name way better than I would have!
Thank you so much! :)
This was a tricky one. Thanks for your perseverance.
How far you’ve come since starting the mystery patterns! You’ve definitely learned a ton about deciphering these patterns.
This is so much fun to follow and find what was in fashion years ago. I would hate it if I couldn't crochet. But I can so I'm gonna keep on loving it ❤😅❤
Beautiful I love thread crochet. I made a tablecloth once took me an hour just to do one round. It was beautiful. This was fun to watch too. Very enjoyable
Thank you! 😊
What a fun game! You met the challenge skillfully and bravely! 😂 I love spirals - that's why I was gaga over your poncho tutorial! That was a fun project! I think I would put a small vase or figurine on this little beauty! Thank you for the enjoyable interlude - I didn't spoil the fun and look ahead!
Thank you 🤗 I can't wait to make more mystery patterns :)
I loved this. Waited for the end and this was awesome. I never seen anyone else do this. And I did start the baby bonnet that you did. I love both of your channels. So much fun.
Yay! Thank you so much! :)
It sure would help if there was a picture lol. You did great!
It had to be someone that had made these all the time and did their own shorthand.
it so would lol, and thank you :)
I did not skip to the end and I was NOT disappointed! What a fun idea! I want to try this!!!
Thank you so much 🤗
Oh my gosh what a wondeful challenge!
« Two plain…. I won’t say it…. IN THE CHAIN!!! Ok that was the last time » 🤭🤭 love it
I am loving this channel! I thought I would attempt to crochet one with you, but I love watching. This one is so fun!
Ikr...I get so fascinated watching her crochet I forget to work on mine
thank you so much :)
This reminds me of some thing my Nanny Rowan would’ve crocheted. Thank you so much for being brave and trying this vintage pattern!
This reminds me of the doilies my grandmother used to make. She taught
me to crochet. I will never be as talented
as her. God bless her patients.
Oh indeed :) I will never be as talented as any of them
Loved how you made a game of this! What a fun video!
But I do believe the reason you got so turned around on the last round is that you were supposed to chain FOUR in round 14, not three. You started to do it, but when you ripped back, then you did 3. Nevertheless, despite my shouting "NO! Chain FOUR!" Several times at my screen, it was a joy to watch.
indeed , and , thank you :)
I cant remember shouting at the screen so much and having so much fun!
I think this pattern wants you to work in the chains, instead of the chain spaces. It's how the modern spirals work. Each row crawls along the previous row, like those seashells whose name escapes me right now LOL
Nautilus?
@@belantww Yes!!! Thank you! xo
Oh, you have earned it. Thumbs up!!
Thank you! 🤗
It looks like a doily to me! Love the spiral pattern coming out from the center.
I guess you should have joined rounds but I do love the spiral. I'm doing edging for some vintage Yankees so I've gone down the RUclips rabbit hole. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much, and, Welcome! :)
This bag is adorable! Just love all your videos. I love how u figure out the instructions !
OMG 😳 I really really think you deserve a medal 🎖 this pattern was a absolute nightmare 😮😮😮😮😮. It’s pretty but, I really really think I’d have thrown this out long before getting to the end. 😡😡😡😡😡😡. Please stay safe and well too
Thank you so much! :)
Hello,greetings from Srilanka.
What you do is fantastic.i started to crochet when i was about 8 years, my grandmother tried to teach me lace but i couldn't figure it out then. Much later i tried just like you reading passages and passages of instructions to do doilys. End result was beautiful.
Keep up your vintage beauties.
I enjoy watching you never boring,I'm trying to crochet a weight bead crochet blanket
What a fun game! Really enjoyed this. Please, please do this again 😊
Thank you! Will do! :)
This is so exciting and different. I have really enjoyed it. How you work with such a tiny hook is fascinating. I'm just learning and a scarf is all I can manage. Thankyou so much for the entertainment. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
This is a very interesting idea! It kept my interest watching you finger out this patterns. Love to watch the series from that book!
Thank you! 😊, I intend to work all the crochet patterns from this book, then on to the 1847 book and so on :) , this series will carry on for some time :)
Your good deciphering the patterns brilliant I am enjoying watching from England 🤗💐
Hey sweeties. I think you are so clever sorting these patterns out. You take care x
I see t as net for a hair bun. Just add ribbon around the edges. Love your channel.
Great idea!! and thank you
Just wanted to tell you that I love this channel. I would be so frustrated trying to figure these out. Love watching.
Thank you so much for that :)
You were suppose to work in the actual chain not around the loop if the chain. It does make a different look to the finished work. And because it was a specific count and not a work in the ‘chain or loop’ of previous round, it is meant to be worked in the specific count of the chain. Some folks may not care or even notice the difference in the end product ( and to be fair, the majority of people don’t know how to do these crafts anyway so wouldn’t know of a difference), but trust me, you will get a cleaner more precise look to the finished piece if you take that extra second to work into the specific counted chain.
Mahalo for sharing ❤️🌺 It was perfect 👍🏼 I just subscribed 😍 I am in bed with the flu and I’m glad I stumbled on your channel ❤️ I was 5 when my Mom taught me how to crochet. I put my hooks away when I lost Mom to cancer when I was 10. I went through depression in 2018 that brought me back to crocheting. I’m still crocheting now but not as great as my Mom. One thing that still puzzles me is that Mom taught me to crochet in UK terms and not English terms ❤️ It is a fun story. I love crocheting 🥰 It’s my happy place 🥰❤️
I must say, I would make many and put it in a runner for a dining table or even the top of stand or piano. It's lovely
That’s a fantastic idea! 🤗
Love this idea! “Plain in Chain”!! I watched every second and really enjoyed!!! Definitely do again. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much 😊 I had a lot of fun and can't wait to make more mystery patterns
I’ve crocheted for 65 years. My mother, who was left handed and I am right, taught me because it is a type of eye and hand training since I was born with an eye problem. Over the years I’ve repaired people’s grandmas antique table clothes as well as copied them and figuring out my mom’s left handed work inventing patterns for her needs but patterns disappeared, etc. I use the pictures to verify patterns. It helps so much.
Love this. Thank you. Will be sending this to my students as they advance. V.
Wonderful! thank you :)
It is beautiful. It would make a pretty shawl or top.
Halfway through the video, and I’m sooo confused but it looks amazing!!
This is such a fun video! I can't wait to watch more!
Yay! Thank you!
Awesome! I’m very interested in 50s 60s and 70s patterns☺️
Love your goofy! Wow, that was complicated!
I just found your channel yesterday, I just love vintage crochet. You definitely made me smile and I waited until the end for the big reveal
Thank you so much! :)
Wow, you have way more patience than I could ever muster. Beautiful work
thank you :)
I usually would have skipped to the end but your challenge was the whole point of it. I did not skip and enjoyed the process. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you! :)
This was so much fun! Can’t wait for your next project!
Yay! Thank you!
I listened to this while working on my very practical sweater thinking it would be fun crochet-background-audio. And it was, I loved listening to your stream of consciousness. But now I’m motivated to go grab some crochet thread and make this!
I had fun watching you figure this out. It's interesting, I've noticed the same lack of detail in a lot of Amish recipe/cook books I've read.
I would thread a fat satin ribbon through rnd 14, cinch it and fill with potpourri in a net bag. Tie a bow and pop it anywhere for fresh scent. ☺️
Oh! that is a wonderful idea actually :)
@@justvintagecrochet my mom used to put cloves in a hanky and tuck it in her sewing basket. Always nice to have something sweet smelling to hand😄
Ok so to me all those patterns seem to be a type of doily . My great grandmother had something similar and I do remember wishing I had gotten it. But this was so much fun! Can't wait for you to do another one!!!
Wonderful! and I cant wait to do this again , thank you :)
I love it. Beautiful.thank for sharing this with us...
Thank you! :)
I really like that center spiral and wonder if you could continue with it before going into the checker board, (the Damier). My grandmother crocheted like her life depended on it. With that bit of frill at the end, which would become more pronounced as the spirals continued, my thought is she would have done this for a full-sized round tablecloth with the frill making the drop drape beautifully. And with a larger spiral at the center of the table... so pretty.
I imagine you can , just keep adding more sc every round
Nice little challenge. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Please keep doing these!!!
You are doing Amazingly.
You sure had me laughing. It's good to laugh at yourself sometimes. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you
It’s looking so pretty, pretty much like the one they put it’s on top the sofa…or in the end of tables..❤
I really loved watching/listening!
Thank you 😊
Damier means checkerboard. This was fun, I want to try one now lol.
Lovely doilie i will definitely be making this one, thank you once again for sharing! I love tge dollies my nanny left to me, but i wish i had more. Thankfully she also left me a her tiny crochet hooks too.
That 1846 pattern you found has produced a very beautiful doily! You are a very good crocheter! ~Janet in Canada
Thank you so much for that!! :)
You just popped up on the feed this morning. What an interesting concept, who doesn’t love vintage & crochet. I’ll watch this after the Easter weekend I have a good amount of thread.❤️🧶
Thank you :) I just posted another one of these a bit ago :) I hope you check it out
