Little tip from 40+ year crocheter. When you change colors, lay the tail of the old color along the upcoming stitches and just stitch right over it as you continue. When you get back around, take the “new” color tail and lay that over and stitch over it. At the end, you will have few to no tails to weave in. You did a lovely job!
Yeah it’s pretty mandatory for TH-camr crocheters. I’ve been working with crochet for about 8 years now (o started while I was pregnant with my twins) and that was the second trick I learned on TH-cam. Melanie Hamm taught me how to crochet. RIP MELANIE
What a tip
That's what I do, crochet over the ends. I also weave in the tails as I go when knitting.
Does the crocheted item stand up over many launderings with so little weaving in? I thought going back and forth three times would secure the ends better than just crocheting over them.
I’ve found that weaving in the tails as you go saves a lot of tedium and tears than when you sew them in at the end xx Carol
"It's nice and calm and quiet and everyone is leaving me the hell alone." I felt this in my soul. 😍
indeed lol
Learnd to crochet when I was four at my grandmothers knee. Im 75 years old now. Kept at it over the years and improved over the years. But I love vintage crochet. And do it quite abit an then found Just vintage crochet and just fell in love with it all over again.
The fringe is supposed to be "two strands thick laid double". In other words, you should have two strands of yarn (not one) and fold them in half - or doubled (so you'll have 4, not 2, ends of fringe in each stitch).
Also, whenever you make fringe, it's best to make it a little longer and then trim it once it's all complete. Inevitably, you'll end up with some uneven fringe AND trimming it lets you be quicker with the application, not worrying about getting the ends absolutely even.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!!
When she read the entire pattern at the end, that's what I was thinking as well! So, off each stitch are 4 strands 6 " long!
thank you, I was just about to comment the same thing. two threads thick, laid double. so 4 strands. that's why the fringe was about to be a little thin and it is, finally.
I have always found that when I have a project and I'm doing a continuous round, I use one color of stitch marker for the beginning/starting corner and a different color for the remaining corners that way I always know where I'm at in relation to the start, it makes everything so much easier.
Was thinking the same thing. Will definitely use this.
Good one!
Oh, what a neat idea!! Great tip!
I just had this same idea yesterday. I’m making my first market bag, working in a continuous round. After ripping it out twice because I lost track of where I was, I thought of this. You’re right, it works really well 👍
Over 40 years ago I made this pattern out of sport weight yarn. It took me over a year to finish it. I found a pattern book that offered it. I believe the book was published in the 1960’s. The shawl was my pride and joy until it was stolen. I don’t have to tell you how sick I was.
I’m glad I found you because I was thinking I would make that shawl again. Only I will made mine using a tight granny square pattern.
Happy hooking!
Using the large hook makes the fabric so flexible and nice. It’s interesting to think about the fact that they didn’t have any yarn but wool for winter. Wow this would have been warm which of course they needed. So fun!
I really enjoyed your video. I have collected Vintage patterns for years. The trick I have learned in reading these antique directions is to NOT over-think it and look at the finished pattern at the same time. Cant wait for your next one!
I have some of my Grandmother and Great Grandmother's crochet books & "needles." My Grandma was so talented that she could look at the pattern before starting the project and know if the instructions were printed wrong. I am 58yrs old and have been crocheting since I was 7yrs. I love the "vintage" patterns and to this day, I too still struggle with some of those old printed patterns. I also struggle with some of the new ways & terms of crochet - thank goodness for video tutorials!
I did it with the tablecloth pattern.😮
My sisters Mother-in-Law was a crocheter. She has since passed away but, when I started crocheting again a few years ago, my brother-in-law asked if I wanted his mom's "sewing" basket and inside was a treasure trove of hooks, a few knitting needles, scissors and some old patterns. Some typed up or copied from books. A few from old magazines and some she had written down by hand. I was very honored to accept this gift. I think my brother-in-law was happy it stayed in the family so to speak. I was looking at some the other day and it is amazing how things were written. These aren't even as old as the ones you are doing. But it is fun to see how they were worked up. I love your channel. Very interesting. Keep up the great work.
oh wow, that is such a special gift!! very very nice :)
And thank you! I sure will :)
This style wrap is also known as a "Scottish Hap" . I like that you are showing th ese beautiful old patterns. I have some books from the 40's. They cost 10 cents!
This is the per shawl for my mother! She freezes all the time and wears multiple layers. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, she’ll love it! 😊😊
Be sure you make it out of a washable wool, will blend, or a combination of alpaca for the best warmth! WEBS is constantly having clearance sales online and their washable wools are soft, not scratchy
Thank you😂❤
Beautiful shawl. That was an excellent time period in historyy.❤
As a crocheter who struggles with anything but lace trim, the way you use your stitch markers is hugely helpful. I'm an expert knitter but just taught myself to crochet a couple of years ago. I can read my knitting, but really struggle with tracking what my crochet is doing.
Thanks!
Thank you, ohhh yes, those at markers are a life saver with this pattern lol
I had the same issue, but stitch markers helped a lot. I also got a row counter, a small digital one. It's been a life saver, especially with multi row patterns. I am able to keep track of the rows.
I think at the start to get to 8sc, they mean to do to 2sc in each of the veins of the 4 chains you originally made, not just the three we used the backlooop of. This means disregarding the "worked off together" stitch when moving to the next round. Makes a nice closed loop! Ultimately won't change a lot to the finished project. Thank you for showing this vintage pattern!
thank you
Beautiful shawl! Thank you for translating the vintage pattern into modern English!
OMG!!! This is gorgeous. The Happy accident of running out of the navy created such a great color combination with the grey and white. Thank you for spending the time to decipher this pattern and sharing it. ♥️😍
I subscribed to a couple of vintage crochet and knitting magazines for years. I am fascinated by them. Thank you for doing this. The result of your efforts is so lovely. I am always looking for something to do with the hand spun yarn that I make. This is a worthy project.
Thank you for that 😊
Wow , love this vintage shawl! Especially in 3 colors!
I love the texture this creates! A truly cozy shawl, perfect as I age.
You did a fantastic job of figuring this pattern out and executing it. You are so smart. I eventually will try it. I am working on a knit shawl and a crochet one. So won’t take on another project right now. I really enjoy your channel. Next month I will be 77 and learned to crochet when I was a child. I didn’t know much about the real vintage patterns and it’s history. You have taught this older women new things. Thanks.
Well, l nearly gave up, but l am like a dog with bone. I kept going and l feel comfortable working my shawl/rug. I will send photo of completed work. Next on my list is the lovely evening/bridal gown. I thought how brilliant most my little lumpy bits will have somewhere to go. (T.I.C.).
Cheers Beth
Great job! Can't wait to see it :)
Really pretty shawl perfect for sitting by the fire with hot chocolate I just finished the mittens you posted a while back love your work 😀 😍
Wonderful! and oh my gosh, i so agree :) .... thank you
Wow! That is spectacular! As usual, your work is exquisite!I am sure that I would never have the patience to translate that pattern into modern terms! Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much 😀
Exquisite, comes to mind! Thank you, SO much, your perseverance commendable! I love history, and your willingness to learn as you go, made my day. Blessings 🙏⚘
Oh my how gorgeous! Thank you.
Just beautiful. Thanks
The finished shawl is amazing
The shawl is lovely.
Picture isn't the silhouette of 1865 but is 1880s and Godey's is pronounced with a long O, as in "Go". Looks like a great pattern and I look forward to trying it out.
The shawl turned classy and pretty ❤
That’s so pretty. Great job
Amazing deciphering! I actually think the blue looks really nice then going to the grey.
Most women/ladies of the time would have used what they had or even re-used yarn from older projects.
I'm glad you managed to work out the initial rows. I don't think I would have been able o and would have judged one together.
There isn't much information in the pattern, but I suppose they may have had a more experienced crocheter with them to help them through it. Also pattern styles have changed and that may have been a standard start to a project.
I'm not a fringe person and thought I would have left it off, but seeing you wearing it, it does 'complete ' the shawl.
Beautiful work and thank you for the video.
Take care xxJane 🐇
Sweet!!! Someone who loves old patterns!! My hero!!! Beautiful shawl.

Being a descendant of William and Mary Brewster who came on the Mayflower, I was fascinated to the your choice of books to make fringe!
I am a descendant of the Fullers !!! 😁😁
Wow, that shawl is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your talent for the interpretation of old patterns! I am really loving it!
Thank you so much! :)
Absolutely beautiful

You made an interesting movie and directions. The finale result was VERY GOOD. Thank you.
So interesting. It's like going back in time. Beautiful shawl. Thank you for the informative content!
Absolutely love it!!!!❤ Thanks for the tutorial and all the lovely vintage articles. The music is great and it takes me back to a time that I have never been there.
I love how you talk a little history behind these patterns. Love your tutorials too.

I found this video because I had been looking for the Yuba County 5, but I’m so glad I found you channel
What a lovely pattern. It's so cozy :)
It really is!
Fascinating. Good job figuring it out. I don't have the patience so I appreciate that you do. Turned out beautifully. ❤
You did a great job as usual, it's beautiful ❤

Thank you for the history lesson and humor!
I’m subscribed now because of this video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is beautiful!
Love it! Great job!!
Looks very warm. 😊Great job on deciphering. ❤
Thank you! 🤗
I just started this shawl this afternoon. Your instructions are wonderful, and yes, markers are an absolute must! I can't wait to get this finished. I can already tell it's going to be a wonderfully relaxing project to work on. Thank you!
oh I'm so glad you are enjoying it! yes, it's a very chill project and you are gonna love it : ) and thank you so much
Totally classic and beautiful. I often wonder what they used for stitch markers back then. they were so creative!
You explained that very well.
Thank you 😊
Honestly, the unexpected change of color is really nice in this shawl. It looks purposeful. It would have been nice if you had some blue yarn left over to incorporate into the fringe.
I'm hooked on your crocheting this vintage shawl. I feel like you are having a chat over a cup of coffee & I'm on the other side of the table.
Thank you!!! I've been looking for this for ages.😊❤
That is so beautiful ❤
that's a lovely shawl, can't wait to have a try at this pattern
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for showing this. I love wearing shawls and wraps better than sweaters or coats, which I find restrictive. I wear shawls while working around the house or in the garden. I will be making this next fall out of a washable wool for the winter without the fringe. With the double layer, it will be especially warm on a snowy day.
Wow this is really pretty. Thank you for sharing.
You’re very welcome 😊
Wow that is Beautiful
Beautiful thank you
Wow. Very impressive deciphering of an old pattern! I’m gonna give it a try!! Thanks for sharing!
you're welcome! and thank you :)
I did a king size blanket in single crochet. In mauve! It's beautiful!
Oh wow!! That a lot of work , I bet it’s beautiful though, and in such a warm color too 🤩
Oh my goodness 😮It’s so beautiful. I will try making it. Thankful for ladies like you. Patient and real🥰
Thank you :)
Beautiful work. At that time in history, I am sure this piece had multiple uses. Your videos help the younger generation history as well as the art of crochet . Two 👍s up.
It turned out lovely great job and great reveal.
thank you !!
gorgeous
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!😊
Love history and Love crochet tho I just started a year ago! When I when , when , when I make this shawl I’m gonna keep it for my self! I’ve been making them to sell but this is one just watching you make I’ll keep just for me!
That is so lovely!
I interpreted the fringe instruction to mean two 12 inch strands folded over (laid double), making each fringe containing 4 strands each.
Thank you for what you do! ❤ An inspiration 😊
thank you so much
I love this. Thanks for sharing! I’m going to make one for my self. I just love shawls! God bless
You’re very welcome, and thank you , God bless you as well, thank you for that ❤️
That turned out beautifully! I have the same problem with my antique patterns for doilies! Much of the terminology is just so different. It takes a lot of frogging and calculating, but they eventually turn out!!
Stunning! I’m going to make this as a prayer blanket for someone who just lost a loved one.
Oh, I love that idea! :)
Beautiful
At first I was thinking “just do a magic circle”. But I really like how its started hides the middle, not leaving an obvious hole. Good job.
I agree :) , plus I really wanted to stick to the pattern as it was written and intended to be worked by women back then lol :)
Another inspiring video thank you
Well, thank you so much 🥰
I'm going to try this onr
I could be a fantastic beginner as well as a total disaster in crocheting. I simply cannot make out the stitches even when I place a marker. The count is totally off. Your explanation and video are so clear that I think you are my best bet. I'm going to try your vintage shawl. Thank you.
Well, Thank yo so much , I truly hope it works out for you , and please let me know if I can help any further :)
You gave clear information and I am going to make this.
Fantastic! And thank you 😊
