Honestly I love watching you talk through your process. Hearing someone's inner voice is beautiful, mistakes and all. It's so human and it makes me, the viewer, feel like I'm with you on the journey.
I absolutely agree! I have never made one of the patterns she does yet I have watched them all! Her voice is so soothing as well. Love your channel lady! Keep it up!
Corinna, I must tell you how delightful I found this particular episode, however embarrassing it may have felt to you. As a 76-year-old just recovering from a third bout of Covid, let me first assure you that Covid Brain is real. I'm astonished that you had the courage to make this tutorial for us at all! And as a rabid crocheter for 66 years, I'm in awe that you're able to translate these instructions at all. But the epic hysterical ending to this episode brought such fun and laughter to me after an overwhelmingly stressful day, that I'd put it in the lifesaving category! I can scarcely thank you enough! Kudos!
Eider wool is a thick German wool made from Mutton sheep that according to the manufacturer is a lovely fluffy wool that is quite coarse compared to many other wools and can hold a crimp or fold better than others. It was also used to make rugs so I would use a rug yarn or a real chunky type. Not to mention I would use English terms which means all the single crochets should be doubles. A quill is just a feather. Large feathers were all the rage. I think the black strap part was like an imitation bow .Good luck.
@@aformerhiro7383 You're probably right as English crochet doesn't have half double crochet stitches. The problem is that many turn of the Century patterns were recopied from other magazines and sometimes the terms would get mixed up in the reprinting.
You did your best with what you had. I love how you carry on filming when you realised you'd made a mistake, and when you try to rectify it. Good on you. You are amazing.
Hey, I wanted to thank you for sharing your work with us. I have a cat whose name is Storm nicknamed Shadow Storm or Stormy. He loves your channel. He literally runs to sit with me to watch you work. He points at the video with his paw like he's trying to talk about you. He even reaches out to hug me while he watches the videos as a way to thank me. I think it's your voice he's comforted by you. I have had two other cats and they had their personal favorite TH-camrs too, I guess Stormy has chosen you. 😂 He's a gray Asian blue, my Dad and stepmom paid for his adoption. My second cat Ginger Beans died from an unknown illness and my father wanted to help me so he used his Easter money my stepmom gave me to pay for the adoption. Stormy is a very good cat, he's very smart too. I never thought my cat would like crocheting. But he loves watching me crochet he doesn't try touching the yarn he makes sure it's safe and I don't lose any pieces. He also gets me my crochet needle if I can't reach it. It's like having a toddler. I feel like I am a mother to a furry kid that will never grow up. He's here in my lap watching your videos. He is very happy he's purring and sitting like a fat man. I think if he could smile he would be grinning cheek to cheek. I love him so much. He's very cute. You have a kitty fan. 😊❤ Oh my an ad just popped up and he got a big jumpy. He was confused. Now he's happy again because the video came back on. 😂
normally I can kind of follow whats going on and figure out what it might look like but this one was diabolical. That instruction for round 3 was a trap. I am so impressed by your perseverance. I would have given up ages ago!
❤ Mystery Crochet! ❤ I love mystery crochet because we DO get stumped. Then it's fun to work it out. Sometimes I get it. Sometimes. Mostly you do the working out. I just nod along like I understood 😂 I've learned so much since you began this channel. I am not afraid to pick up a pattern now.
You might want to ask Justin to put scotch tape over the name and then the masking tape. That way you don’t have to worry about the reveal. Just a suggestion.
This is what I like about crochet. You can always modify a pattern in some way that you feel it works better. You are so funny. I love the way you think. LOL
Yaaaaay!!! I've been waiting for vintage crochet all week 😅 That hat was NOT expected! That nor the quill 🤭 Community mystery pattern?? Sounds exciting! I would love to participate!
After all those tries I had started to think that the instructions were for some kind of bowl. Close enough. 😊 I love the concept of blindly trying to crochet vintage patterns, it’s a very novel idea and I enjoy watching these videos while working on my own projects. But having collected hundreds of patterns for the last 45 years from Spain, the UK, the USA (calling stitches differently in each country) and now from all over the world thanks to the Internet, I’m so glad I decided from the beginning to only use charts. Charts use common symbols no matter where they are from and I don’t go crazy trying to remember all those abbreviations.
I am so elated that I "found" your wonderful channel... I've been binge watching in the middle of the night and couldn't really comment!! But I love your work... I'm 68 and when I was middle school I was teaching myself to crochet w/booklets... We didn't have internet and I was quite frustrated because I didn't have any "grownups " to help me... but, just watching you is so fun to see If I indeed did some of the work right!! Great videos, thanks for sharing. I do love the old patterns, as my grandmother did crochet, make lace ,lots of doilies, sew her childrens clothes , embroider etc... so I feel like it's in my blood. Unfortunately she died when I was very young. ... So, there's hope for this "old" chick!! LOL
It’s the journey for me! Your narrations and fails keep me on the “edge of my seat”, a real cliff hanger. Reading patterns is so hard! You have given me so much confidence! Keep it up❤
Thank you! Thank you! I love it! You are "soooo" human... i love to watch you working through it til it makes sense to you. You have breathed life back into my world. I laugh only because you get as flabbergasted as i do!! You go girl!!! Please continue............
Corrina you are hilarious 🤣 And don't apologize for making mistakes, they are funny and relatable! Even with modern patterns we all make a ton of mistakes and mis-read. Your videos are fantastic. I'm going to try to make this hat, we'll see what happens...!
I'm really enjoying watching and listening to your process doing something of mystery. It inspires me to try new projects. I also enjoy watching your videos while working on whatever crochet project I pick up. It's like sitting around with others crocheting... and having you normalize pulling things apart and restarting. Kind of fun! Thank you.
I can see how I would have totally been confused by this pattern. I was honestly confused with you at the beginning. I appreciate the videos and am impressed you were able to work through it. 😄
I am very impressed with how patient you are and your willingness to keep trying again until you figure it out. That truly is a skill. Thanks for sharing your thought process as you workshopped your way through this project
Oh my goodness, Corina. 😂😂😂😂 That is hilarious. When I saw the picture, I was thinking the same thing. 😂😂😂 I think Pheasant feathers would look nice on the hat. They were quite popular at that time. ❤
Youve got me back into crocheting after not since i was 12!!! Im 54 now!! I just rinished my 1st ever personal size travel blanket aka almost a twin ❤ thank you so much for sparking this interest back that my great grandmother taught me!!!❤
I absolutely love watching/listening to you work through a pattern, particularly while I crochet something myself.. You have a lovely voice, and tempo. What I enjoy most, I think, is that you make mistakes (AND that you do not have any music). I laugh to myself when I'm doing my own thing, listening to you, and suddenly find I'm doing the stitches you are talking about lol. What I never expected was to make a couple of the patterns you figure out and they're fabulous. Thank you for your videos, never apologise for your process. If we wanted something different, we wouldn't be watching yours. Keep up doing your thing
I feel so bad that you basically had to put a trigger warning for being "frustrating" :,( I find it so comforting to see someone struggle with a pattern, it makes me feel less alone
Me too as someone who struggles reading patterns that aren’t plush animals it’s nice to see I’m not the only one who sometimes has to restart three to four times before I’m like omg I can’t believe it missed it
I am thinking that working up some of these patterns is a similar experience to when we all used to have to balance our checkbooks. At least for me, sometimes I'd keep having an error in my adding or subtracting (done without calculator!). After a while I just put it down and came back to it with a set of "fresh eyes" and I could clearly see my error. Your patience once again is amazing!
Your tenacity astounds me and your ability to “figure out” what is meant by the instructions is amazing. My mom attempted to teach me how or crochet when I was about 16 but using crochet thread and a steel needle frustrated me to the point that I threw the items across the room and did not venture to crochet land until I was expecting my first child. That was more than 50 years ago. I knit (somewhat) and crochet and have made lots of things over the years. I look forward to each new project you tackle!
I tried to teach my son 16 with a size 4 and normal yarn and it was like watching 2 octopuses try to peel a banana. 😂 I can't imagine starting with small thread that's an excercise in torture to be fair!
Corinna, don't sweat not "getting" the instructions on the first couple tries. Sometimes I'm talking at my screen explaining to you, but this time I didn't catch it either. We're all human and communication isn't always easy. Some of these patterns use inconsistent terms, are just plain wrong, or use very old phraseology. Cut yourself some slack. We all have those days where asking us our name qualifies as a hard question. 😂 Other days we could converse with Einstein intelligently....at least after coffee! Thank you for being real and showing when you have difficulties deciphering the patterns. It's an encouragement to beginners and the rest of us that we all hit tough patterns we have to frog several times before it "clicks". Persevering has its rewards, so keep at it!
The black band piece covers the ears of the lady's head and folds into the brim of the hat from the bottom. The space that was made in the front of the hat was supposed to be for the black part. A friend of mine made one years ago with a 6-weight alpaca yarn for her mother-in-law, it was stunning! She used real feathers though.
This was funny. I love that you’re making something that you don’t know what it is. That would be harder than you think. Please keep on doing this. It’s fun to watch and it makes me thankful that pattern writing has become so much clearer!
Just found your videos yesterday, and I love how you talk things out. Seeing someone who is as talented as you are struggle helped me out yesterday while I struggled with a simple pattern. I've only been crocheting for maybe 3 years and all I've done so far is blankets and I started a starfish yesterday. I love how you didn't give up and kept frogging and trying again, its very refreshing to see the perseverance and honestly a struggle to let me know I'm not alone in not understanding all patterns well. Thank you for your videos!
This is such a cute hat!! Unfortunately i dont have yarn that thick nor a hook that is that big either. I also find it hilarious that im the only 15 year old here! Although i did learn to crotchet over the summer and found your channel :) (also the quill lol 😏)
Thank you for trying it is inspiring! All your attempts are great. You inspire me to learn knew thing and keep trying when not getting it the first time! Thank you!!
I don't know how I lost your channel, but I'm glad I found it again. Even if I'm usually working on something else, I enjoy your videos and the process of making sense of these mystery patterns. :) Also, congratulations on passing the 100k subscribers mark! It's well deserved! :)
I think the 'space' and 'stitch' differ only in that stitch means the 2 strands above the hook and 1 under, whilst 'space' means between the posts with all 3 strands above the hook. 😊
Thank you so much for this video, especially since you are getting over being ill. You do such an amazing job with very confusing instructions. I've learned so much from you. I do like the hat in the photo but without the quills. I think real feathers might look nice.
Oh my God! I just got myself talking to you through the video, like you could hear me. I am just in love for the vintage mystery pattern, it is addicting! We have so many crochet influencer, this is so original! Keep doing it and keep talking to yourself, it just made me talk to you all the way along like a crazy lady. Just have to remember to don't watch your videos on public places. Hahahaha
Second verse, same as the first....."I'm Henery the Eighth I am, Henery the Eighth I am I am". Sorry Corinna, the way you were talking yourself through the beginning had this song going through my head non-stop! LOL
I loved your commenting on how you don’t understand how your brain works! lol you are adorable. This was in my feed and I started to play while washing dishes because of the title!
Ohh My!! You’re an absolute riot! 😂 I would love to see that done in a lager size. You nailed it in my humble opinion. Love ya! Glad you’re feeling better! ❤
I love your mystery pattern videos! Hearing and seeing how you work out these vintage patterns has really helped me learn to interpret them myself! I’m going to feel so much more confident going into my next vintage project. Keep up the amazing work 🤩
I have a pattern book where Lion Brand Yarns reinterpreted vintage patterns. They used Chenille Thick and Quick for the hat, if that helps with thickness of yarn.
hi corinna! well, you gave it a go. more than i would have done (before throwing it across the room!). the instructions were headache inducing! have a marvelous day! xoxo
lol I was wondering the same! On 51:10 there is that open part! I was just as confused as you lol 😅 and yes also thought maybe a brim but than the side is for what a pony tail? Idk 🤷♀️
I bet something like Bernat Blanket yarn would work for this pattern. I use a size K hook when I'm working with it, but I tend to crochet tightly. Most others would probably use an L or even larger.
Hi Corrina. New viewer here from Australia. Loved watching the mystery pattern challenge. What a great idea! I recall you mentioned a pattern with tatting but you didn't know how. I love tatting and would be happy to help. Although I don't do any loom work. It is probably a cluny loom, which I haven't attempted in all the years I have been playing with tatting. Can't wait to watch more.
Hello Corrina, great try on making this hat. I would have said to my self. Now that I know what this mystery pattern is. I would have went and grabbed that photo !! And continued crocheting the hat to see if I could make it come out like the picture. I got to hand it to you girlfriend, you do give every one of these mystery patterns you're all. Hat's off to you on that one. Looking forward to the next mystery pattern.Thanks for your time and diligence in creating this for me and others on TH-cam. 😊
Yours resembles a Cloche popular hat in the 1920s, I had a very elderly Aunt who wore them in the 70s. Notmally made from felt. The divide at the edge was at the nape. Anyway, I was WAAAAAY off too😂
Love the show! LB Eider Wool must have been nice and fluffy. Maybe lots of Mohair or something giving it halo. So... in addition to the little quirk with rows 3, 4 & 5, being an increase in every 2nd cluster, rows 6-11 are NOT increase rows after all - if you read again it is just loop in stitch 1, loop in stitch 2, yarn over through 3, chain one, repeat... making a natural turn and "sides" of the hat. So if you have the crown built by the end of row 6, and that is what, 8-8.5 inches? Bigger hook and yarn for sure. After the sides are built, beginning row 15, you begin making a bit of a turning section (single crochets allow for a natural curl upward on the outside) and after that the 2 rows of 8 clusters make the 'BRIM!' I believe the row of single crochet that goes all the way around brings the hat back together.... and the tension of bridging the 'gap' cements the brim's upward curl? The black band (leading to the quills) is for the Brim only! not the whole hat I might consider making the pattern but I really need the blacked out words unblacked out, LOL. Thanks for the fun!!! and PS- curve the feathers upward! LOL. Real ones would be lots better, but difficult in wartime when no one's shooting birds. (1915)
You are fun and you make the crocheting fun, too. No offense to other crochet tutorials out there, which are very good, but I definitely resonate with this kind of "thinking out loud". I subscribed. See you soon. 😊
I love this series! There are definitely times when I am wishing I could talk to you through the screen and point out something that you missed or misinterpreted, but probably at least half the time when I feel like that you were actually correct, or we were both wrong. I wonder with the “spaces” it wants you to crochet into, whether the pattern doesn’t want you to turn there and it wants you to crochet into the sides of the split, and the spaces are the sides of the stitches? I could easily be wrong, but I don’t think it said to turn there, and it might be a way to make the brim get narrower as it goes around maybe?? I don’t know? If I have the time and the yarn I might give it a go.
Corinna, i love your video. You are so awesome to watch. It was fantastic to hear your thoughts, I only wish I had a copy of the pattern to try working. I felt so sad every time you frogged out your work. Since you had the extra open ball of yarn. I would have started over on that ,to compare them. Then you can frogg the first if you want to start over again. I couldn't help wondering if the curving was to shape it. Im going to finish watching now.
That movie clip was perfection. It's all about her hop-ee-ness!❤️🤣 It is the journey and you make the journey more fun! Thank you, Corinna!!! PS... I am not gonna be makin' this! Nope! Not me! I use or gift the stuff I make. I would do neither with this! 🤣❤️🧶
Corinna, I’m so glad you are doing these old patterns. There’s no one else doing what you are doing. Please keep it up!
She's extraordinary 👍🏼🙏🏼 History gifted ART ❤
Honestly I love watching you talk through your process. Hearing someone's inner voice is beautiful, mistakes and all. It's so human and it makes me, the viewer, feel like I'm with you on the journey.
Me too. I love that!!
Me too!
I absolutely agree! I have never made one of the patterns she does yet I have watched them all! Her voice is so soothing as well. Love your channel lady! Keep it up!
That is one appeal of YT that many others overlook.

These instructions are giving me a headache! I am so grateful for modern standardised instructions!
It's not standardised american instructions are still different to the rest of the planet. 😂

I'm pretty sure it's American terms due to the "hdc"

According to what I could find, it's a roving size, so do we *go* higher than 6 weight? LOL!
I had so much fun watching my first vintage mystery! 😂Thank you so much.
There is no sc in English terms and as someone else said there is no hdc either, it's a htr (half treble) .
Well, dang it, I skipped to the end because I was hoping to see a hundred year old Willy-warmer! 😂
well... It was willie related at least LOL
@@justvintagecrochet🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too! 😂
@@morningmoondove5065 Ditto!

You did your best with what you had. I love how you carry on filming when you realised you'd made a mistake, and when you try to rectify it. Good on you. You are amazing.

😲 Total jaw drop when you showed the picture. That hat IS fun but sooo off and NOT what "we" got lol. The quills are just added amusement. 😉

Oh well im 14 and i love what you do

I love this hat but those quills! 😮 And the one you made would totally work for a baby too. So cute. I love the texture this stitch creates.
Just gotta jump in and say - nice nails! ❤
Right, now I'll watch the video 😃😊
This is such a cute hat!! Unfortunately i dont have yarn that thick nor a hook that is that big either. I also find it hilarious that im the only 15 year old here! Although i did learn to crotchet over the summer and found your channel :) (also the quill lol 😏)
Thank you for trying it is inspiring! All your attempts are great. You inspire me to learn knew thing and keep trying when not getting it the first time! Thank you!!
I would love to see you revisit this pattern with your chonky hook and that Velvet smooth Pumpkin yarn. Like a 70's twist in colors.😍😉
Great idea!
I missed that too so it was a great A-ha moment for me as well! Great fun, thank you.
I don't know how I lost your channel, but I'm glad I found it again. Even if I'm usually working on something else, I enjoy your videos and the process of making sense of these mystery patterns. :)
Also, congratulations on passing the 100k subscribers mark! It's well deserved! :)
Hahaha, love your videos. And no I wouldn’t want a happiness on my hat either. 😂😂😂😂
Lol
I think the 'space' and 'stitch' differ only in that stitch means the 2 strands above the hook and 1 under, whilst 'space' means between the posts with all 3 strands above the hook. 😊
You make my day! So funny and honest!
Thank you so much for this video, especially since you are getting over being ill. You do such an amazing job with very confusing instructions. I've learned so much from you. I do like the hat in the photo but without the quills. I think real feathers might look nice.
Oh my God! I just got myself talking to you through the video, like you could hear me. I am just in love for the vintage mystery pattern, it is addicting! We have so many crochet influencer, this is so original! Keep doing it and keep talking to yourself, it just made me talk to you all the way along like a crazy lady. Just have to remember to don't watch your videos on public places. Hahahaha
Second verse, same as the first....."I'm Henery the Eighth I am, Henery the Eighth I am I am". Sorry Corinna, the way you were talking yourself through the beginning had this song going through my head non-stop! LOL
I loved your commenting on how you don’t understand how your brain works! lol you are adorable. This was in my feed and I started to play while washing dishes because of the title!
Ohh My!! You’re an absolute riot! 😂 I would love to see that done in a lager size. You nailed it in my humble opinion. Love ya! Glad you’re feeling better! ❤
I love your mystery pattern videos! Hearing and seeing how you work out these vintage patterns has really helped me learn to interpret them myself! I’m going to feel so much more confident going into my next vintage project. Keep up the amazing work 🤩
Haha, loved the little clips you inserted near the end. LOL! pepperoni, Rose!
I have a pattern book where Lion Brand Yarns reinterpreted vintage patterns. They used Chenille Thick and Quick for the hat, if that helps with thickness of yarn.
Loved this !!! Your so funny to watch and it really cheers me up xx
Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊
First time I have heard of a mystery crochet. I would love to do this. For sure I’m subscribing
This was so fun! It looked like a cute basket at first. I can’t wait to see if someone make it and shares.
hi corinna! well, you gave it a go. more than i would have done (before throwing it across the room!). the instructions were headache inducing! have a marvelous day! xoxo
Absolutely lovely! Thank you.
Don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a while! 😂 It was almost a cute child’s bonnet.
Well, that was fun.. And interesting. Great job for what you had to work with in that pattern. Glad you're feeling better. 🤗
Honestly, I liked your version much better. Lol I really liked watching you go through the process. Thanks for sharing this with us.
If your nails are BTArtbox they are super cute!! lol nails and crochet are my things!
The little hat is still pretty cute.
lol I was wondering the same! On 51:10 there is that open part! I was just as confused as you lol 😅 and yes also thought maybe a brim but than the side is for what a pony tail? Idk 🤷♀️
So funny, lol double speak, quill!! ❤❤ Thanks Corinna.
Lol you made me laugh. I agree with you, no quill for me hahaha
I had to laugh at your explanation in the beginning because that described me to a tee. Brains are a mysterious creature for sure. Hahaha
I bet something like Bernat Blanket yarn would work for this pattern. I use a size K hook when I'm working with it, but I tend to crochet tightly. Most others would probably use an L or even larger.
Hi Corrina. New viewer here from Australia. Loved watching the mystery pattern challenge. What a great idea! I recall you mentioned a pattern with tatting but you didn't know how. I love tatting and would be happy to help. Although I don't do any loom work. It is probably a cluny loom, which I haven't attempted in all the years I have been playing with tatting. Can't wait to watch more.
Hello Corrina, great try on making this hat. I would have said to my self. Now that I know what this mystery pattern is. I would have went and grabbed that photo !! And continued crocheting the hat to see if I could make it come out like the picture. I got to hand it to you girlfriend, you do give every one of these mystery patterns you're all. Hat's off to you on that one. Looking forward to the next mystery pattern.Thanks for your time and diligence in creating this for me and others on TH-cam. 😊
This cracked me up. You are so funny.
Yours resembles a Cloche popular hat in the 1920s, I had a very elderly Aunt who wore them in the 70s. Notmally made from felt. The divide at the edge was at the nape. Anyway, I was WAAAAAY off too😂
This is defs my fav crochet channel yassss
Love the show! LB Eider Wool must have been nice and fluffy. Maybe lots of Mohair or something giving it halo. So... in addition to the little quirk with rows 3, 4 & 5, being an increase in every 2nd cluster, rows 6-11 are NOT increase rows after all - if you read again it is just loop in stitch 1, loop in stitch 2, yarn over through 3, chain one, repeat... making a natural turn and "sides" of the hat. So if you have the crown built by the end of row 6, and that is what, 8-8.5 inches? Bigger hook and yarn for sure. After the sides are built, beginning row 15, you begin making a bit of a turning section (single crochets allow for a natural curl upward on the outside) and after that the 2 rows of 8 clusters make the 'BRIM!' I believe the row of single crochet that goes all the way around brings the hat back together.... and the tension of bridging the 'gap' cements the brim's upward curl? The black band (leading to the quills) is for the Brim only! not the whole hat I might consider making the pattern but I really need the blacked out words unblacked out, LOL. Thanks for the fun!!! and PS- curve the feathers upward! LOL. Real ones would be lots better, but difficult in wartime when no one's shooting birds. (1915)
Girl you human ! Pmsl girl i know where your coming from .pmsl . The best crochet video ive watched in a long time lol
You are fun and you make the crocheting fun, too. No offense to other crochet tutorials out there, which are very good, but I definitely resonate with this kind of "thinking out loud". I subscribed. See you soon. 😊
So fun! I love these mysteries 😊
I love this series! There are definitely times when I am wishing I could talk to you through the screen and point out something that you missed or misinterpreted, but probably at least half the time when I feel like that you were actually correct, or we were both wrong.
I wonder with the “spaces” it wants you to crochet into, whether the pattern doesn’t want you to turn there and it wants you to crochet into the sides of the split, and the spaces are the sides of the stitches? I could easily be wrong, but I don’t think it said to turn there, and it might be a way to make the brim get narrower as it goes around maybe?? I don’t know? If I have the time and the yarn I might give it a go.
This video come right after I commented on another video that I wanted a new mystery 😅 Thank you!🙏
Wonderful mystery crochet, Hi from Brasil.
You could easily insert a wire into the feather to aid forming into preferred shape and flair! Then help to attach under the bow/band.
Corinna, i love your video. You are so awesome to watch. It was fantastic to hear your thoughts, I only wish I had a copy of the pattern to try working. I felt so sad every time you frogged out your work. Since you had the extra open ball of yarn. I would have started over on that ,to compare them. Then you can frogg the first if you want to start over again. I couldn't help wondering if the curving was to shape it. Im going to finish watching now.
Great journey. Thanks
That movie clip was perfection.
It's all about her hop-ee-ness!❤️🤣
It is the journey and you make the journey more fun! Thank you, Corinna!!!
PS... I am not gonna be makin' this! Nope! Not me! I use or gift the stuff I make. I would do neither with this! 🤣❤️🧶
It's not 'naughty'! It's just happy to see you! 🤣
