@@Nirmadify - "...-Messieurs is correct and messeurs is a mis-spelling. Messieurs is French. - In English we do not use messieurs. We only use the abbreviation - Messrs (pronounced messers).

So, instead of saying Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones and Mr. Bloggs attended the training, you could say 'Messrs Smith, Jones and Bloggs attended the training..."
These old patterns remind me of old recipes from that era and before. "Start with a sufficiently long chain" reminds me of the same sort of "add ingredients until it looks correct and cook until it is Enough" vibe.
Oh god yes. Take a sufficient amount of salt so as to season 1 litre of broth. Having made the broth proceed in the usual manner to blahventate the oxtail into a paste of Paris with the whisk being sure to leave a small space in the pastry to allow the steam to escape. Bake in the usual manner. 😂
@serendipidus8482 use a wine glassfull of this and a walnut sized lump of that. Bake in cool oven for an hour. How full a wine glass? To the rim? Three-quarters? Walnut sized lump? English walnut with or without husk or black walnut with or without husk? Or just the walnut meat? COOL oven!? Isn't that an oxymoron? Hell with it, ordering in.
I’m giggling as I spotted they were explaining how to make the purl. “Look further “ I kept saying. So glad you figured that out. But you win with the rest.
I was thinking the same thing! The brackets were explaining the purl :) This is fascinating to see! I haven't ever thought about trying to find old crochet patterns to try.
😂 This is so relatable when I bought an old crochet book 'coz I wanted to learn the terms..I ended up doing all the practice chains but when I got to the patterns I scratch my head and had to repeat several times coz my work doesn't look like the photos..😂
It’s like watching a train running out of control , you can’t look away , but then in the end you don’t loose your mind and finish up . Lol . Love the mystery’s ! ❤😂❤
I think what I love the most is your grace and humor, especially when it doesn't exactly work out. You are handling the setbacks with a humility that is refreshing. No, we don't always have the answers, but we try our best and carry on, and learn. And that's awesome. Hugs
This is FASCINATING! I could never get my brain into following patterns. I can crochet hats and scarves using plain single and double crochet, that I made up myself. I think some brilliant, neuro-divergent women made these stitches and patterns up. It is an art form never given much attention, probably because women did it, and everybody just took it for granted. They just wore the results, never realizing the technicalities involved. Maybe if I watch and listen, I can get the hang of reading patterns, which look as bad to me as musical notation (which I am also HORRIBLE at despite years of trying) and algebra (ditto). I am going to force my guy/partner to watch this, because he has an intricate mind and might even want to learn. I think it's "beyond my ken".
@argusfleibeit - My first time on this site but for a moment thought I had written your comment myself. I do only the same crochet stitches as well, that my mother taught me to take my mind off my school exams. From squares I progressed to my own pattern for tea-cosies. Like you I find patterns a bit hard to follow. I also think of it as like trying to read music (slow but I get there, though right hand only but enough for piano & basic violin). Algebra too (I like to look up the basics once or twice a year to refresh myself, to see how it actually works, all other forms of maths leaving me cold). So this looks an interesting way to find out what the pattern makes - whilat as big a mystery to everyone else as to me. We do both seem to be a pair of 'tryers', don't we? Oh it's turned out to be like a bit of lace!! Very nice. Have you ever tried to make a circular sugar bowl cover? I saw one that was weighted down with beads, only my own attempts were neither circular nor as pretty. Ah well... (PS. I can still do shorthand though, just not as fast)
@@AmieDeLalla I'm talking about way back, when there was just string or yarn. I think it took quite a leap to go from there to making something. I do think it was some kind of different mind that would work and discover these crafts. Sorry about your inferiority complex.
@@justvintagecrochet I really appreciate the time that you put into these videos (all of your videos). I am homeless, living in my car and you take me away from my daily stresses and I thank you so very much… I always have a smile watching you figure out those very limited instructions. Thank you😁❤️
Another enjoyable episode, thank you. Messrs means Misters, &c is etc, and it wanted you to join the 4th treble of the second clover to the 10th treble of the first, joining the two motifs together. Can't wait for the next challenge. Best wishes.
For the clover, I think they mean to slip stitch into the loop after your chain threes. That would form a clover, I think? These patterns are so fascinating and frustrating all at the same time! I'm glad you have the patience of Job, because I think I might have thrown it across the room! 😂
It's so fun to watch her struggle especially with the english ones where she can't even figure out the sentence and says it so funny. Things were written in such precise language in those days that everything sounds like it's Stephen fry saying it!
At least when there is no picture no one can prove you were wrong. Love this series so much. Your frustration in this one gave me a good laugh, cheers!
You were bang on with this pattern! What you were missing was the blocking. And the beginning and ends were probably slip stitched to the starting point. But you have said many times that the ladies of the day would have bee so familiar with these patterns that they would have automatically known what to do. This was a lovely example of the fine border work to dress the collar and cuffs of dresses. They were often detachable and interchangeable. Thank you for sharing the patterns and your skills with us. 😍🤩😍Love you always!!
I'm so happy to have found your channel. Many years ago I found a stack of very old crochet patterns and spent a lot of time trying to figure them out but, being a fairly new crocheter, finally gave up. I'm finding it much more fun to watch you doing it! Now that I'm older and an experienced crocheter with time on my hands I may pull them out and try again. Your method and logic and patience is an inspiration for me! I will continue to watch your fun videos and will refer to them often when I need help figuring out a particularly difficult instruction. Thank you! I love these mystery patterns 😍
i just recently started working from a vintage pattern for a set of lace gloves, and my gosh its made me realize how spoiled i am with exact stitch counts, mesurements, and even visuals. Its cool to see how you figure out these mystery patterns, it makes me feel like i can do it too X)
Reminds me of pieces my Great Grandmother would make. I have the most Beautiful Spread she made...I would sit for hours and 'feed her the there's As she crocheted💜
I enjoyed watching this very much, once again you did a super job of figuring it out, and it’s amazing how close you came to making it exactly, with the instructions given . I would never have figured it out . Thanks again for doing these videos .
This was a tough one!! But I LOVED ít! All I can say is...MORE! Thanks so much for this channel, Corrina. While waiting for meds to get my RA under control, your channel has given me not only hours of distraction from pain, but the opportunity to learn about previous decades & centuries of the evolution of crochet. Thanks again. xx
When this confusion happens, it is very helpful to have a clear picture and go by that instead of the written word. I find it much more helpful to follow the physical photo or grid than to read all the instructions, so I'm glad that you included that!
Messrs is Mr.'s. Couvrette is small coverlet. Berceaunette is the head cover used to cover a bassenette or cradle. So this is either a baby blanket or window cover or cradle cover
All credit to you for your patience, I wouldn't have been able to do that! That border was so pretty, thank you for keeping these old patterns alive 😊❤
You did SO MUCH BETTER than I would've LOL=you had it looking so like the picture without even having the picture at the time 😎🤓! Congrats! It's a pretty border.
Very pretty! This seems to me like the most vague of the vintage patterns you've unraveled so far! Job well done! I love this series! I miss doing thread crochet! Mama put crochet borders on almost everything! Tops of sheets, edges of pillow cases, throw pillows, tea towels, hankies, sachets! One of my favorites was the pillow cases with a crocheted & embroidered southern belle holding a parasol, appliqued above the opening. The bottom of her skirt was the lacy edging on the case. Thank you.
Berceaunette (later in English - bassinet) is a types of wicker cradle (like a Moses basket). “Messrs.” Is a shortened for of Misters, used when addressing a business.
@@Padraigp Yes, curtains. I really don't like the idea of my home being a reality show for my nosy neighbors, and shades block out too much sunlight during the day. It's not like I'd be hanging them over my stove, so I don't see where the "ew" comes from.
This was a tough one but you managed to produce a reasonable facsimilia of the border. The beginnings and ends of the rows are always a challenge. Thanks for an entertaining podcast once again.
Okay. This just popped up and now I'm glad I decided to check it out. Lol. I love puzzles but never had to do one in crochet. This has me all caught up now. Lol
Corinna, I don't crochet. Yet love watching you, like watching a murder mystery who done it movie. Or listening to Paul Harvey discovering 'the rest of the story'. Exciting to wonder what tomorrow's mystery will be! So much fun. Thank you!
Couverette or bercerette (pronounced coo-vrette like a bird coos vrette as the end of Corvette) is a small blanket made for a cradle or bassinette. Back in the day the baby beds were much smaller and looked like they were made for dolls and they made fancy blankets for the cradle or even for baptism. Mom would use a similar pattern as yours for edging linen tablecloth or cloth napkins. So glad to have found your videos as it reminded me of the bits of papers I have of patterns written by my mom when she found an interesting pattern. She worked in the ladies dresses in a major dept store back in the 70's and the sweaters at the time had the most beautiful patterns. She loved to knit and crochet and evenings she would try to figure out the patterns! So yes she left me many little bits of paper with written patterns which I would share with you but sadly they were all in French and written in as mind boggling and confusing as your pattern. I have all her old books from late 50's, 60's and 70's which it seems fashion repeats itself. Thanks for a great video
So you are going to be Shocked or laugh. Your stack of patterns. Grabbed your bucket of numbers. I’m like she is gonna pick number 8 and it’s a boarder. Wow I was like holy crap 🤣 never watched this video before or read discription. This is pretty and spot on with a few tweaks. This is so neat.
The couvrettes or berceaunette would've been almost like a round table cloth or cover of sort which makes sense for the ends not having much instruction, It's so unique
The terms were for different baby furniture like a bassinet and different types of cradles, chairs, push chairs etc. It could have also been used on baby clothes. I guess it was so one could make all the nursery items match by having the covers made of similar fabrics. Colors, and trims. Having some clothes match the nursery items would make sense as well.
I love these old patterns. My grandma used to have a whole bunch of them from her mother, and my mother and I used to do this same thing, Mystery Crochet! I was taught to read the whole row twice before you start going into it because they write these so funny sometimes lol I laughed so hard watching you try to figure out the parentheses behind the purl because I can't say how many times I've done that! 😂
Wow thanks for these videos. I have zero interest in making vintage patterns, but I love looking at them and the mystery is too fun. Thank you! These must take so much time.
Fantastic channel I'm from the uk, I don't read patterns, I see and make. What you are doing is amazing. Thank you so much for your time and energy. Lots of love and big virtual hugs ❤
For the clovers, you need to have one clover already worked on the right to get it so when you're doing the 2nd clover, you do your 4dc and then slip stitch in the 4th dc from the end of the previous clover to attach it, so it doesn't float like you mention yours do, no? ^^
@@LualaDy no worries, I have gotten over 80 comments about it and 1 email with a screenshot 😂, lemmy tell ya lol , I do actually very much appreciate the feedback and advice from you all though ❤️
What a great premise for a show! I absolutely love discovering along side you. I can read knit patterns but not crochet. I’d never be able to do this. If I could I’d be having my son copy patterns just like this because it adds a great element of surprise!
Hello 👋🏼 I just wanted to say that I enjoy the mystery patterns, and watching you figure out what's next even if you're not sure how to implement the stitch. Thank you for sharing these mysteries.
Beautiful border!! I love these Mystery tutorials! I am so glad I found your channel, but I hate having to wait for the next one. I have watched all the videos since you started....I want more. 😊
I stumbled across this video and now I’m hooked in your channel! Lol I ain’t gonna lie though, I was screaming at my TV “THE PARENTHESES TELL YOU HOW TO DO THE PURL STITCH!” Then the rest of the time I’m screaming “NOOOOOO, CHAIN 1 THEN CHAIN 4 FOR THE PURL STITCH!!!!!!”😂😂 all in good fun of course. I love the idea of using vintage patterns❤️
So much fun to watch and listen to you decipher! You have created a unique experience for TH-camrs. I am new to crochet and found your struggles completely familiar. LOL
I was talking to the screen a couple of times there, lol. But all in all you came pretty close especially without a picture and not knowing what it was supposed to be, I think you did a fine job. This is fun, I appreciate you being adventuresome and courageous enough to try these mysteries.

@@Padraigp it’s a white button now , I’m not a fan of it lol
The " mersrs" in the beginning of the pattern stands for Mercerized cotton by the way!
@@Nirmadify are you certain? I thought it stood for Messieurs, as in french for Misters.
I took it to mean Masters or Mister's 👍

I kept screaming THEY'RE EXPLAINING HOW TO DO THE PURL IN THE PARENTHESES. Omg that was tense XD
Lol it helps if you pick up on the way they structure patterns, punctuation marks are important
These old patterns remind me of old recipes from that era and before. "Start with a sufficiently long chain" reminds me of the same sort of "add ingredients until it looks correct and cook until it is Enough" vibe.
"The usual way" sort of thing. 😁

How fun, I think it’s a collar. So interesting to see the patterns over hundreds years old.
Reminds me of pieces my Great Grandmother would make. I have the most Beautiful Spread she made...I would sit for hours and 'feed her the there's As she crocheted💜
I think it's the bottom lace of a dress or jacket.

right on haha :)
Drove me crazy seeing the purl and then (....) lol
That was alot of fun!! You did a beautiful job, I would of gotten frustrated.
Thanks for sharing!
thank you :)
I love watching you figure things out - makes me feel much better about my own style 😂😂😂
The couvrettes or berceaunette would've been almost like a round table cloth or cover of sort which makes sense for the ends not having much instruction, It's so unique
Does this have anything to do with baby’s clothes
The terms were for different baby furniture like a bassinet and different types of cradles, chairs, push chairs etc. It could have also been used on baby clothes. I guess it was so one could make all the nursery items match by having the covers made of similar fabrics. Colors, and trims. Having some clothes match the nursery items would make sense as well.
A border for sleeves, etc. I enjoyed you figuring it out exciting.

Wow thanks for these videos. I have zero interest in making vintage patterns, but I love looking at them and the mystery is too fun. Thank you! These must take so much time.
thank you! :)
Fantastic channel I'm from the uk, I don't read patterns, I see and make. What you are doing is amazing. Thank you so much for your time and energy. Lots of love and big virtual hugs ❤
The clovers are connected at the top. Very pretty.
yes, I couldn't comprehend that for some reason LOL, thank you :)
@Just Vintage Crochet I have to finish a baby blanket, then I'm definitely gonna do this one. Thank you for the videos.
I love finding the answer to the mystery! You do a great job!
thank you :)
I thought it was fascinating! Thanks! ❤
Messers is an abbreviation for the plural of Monsieur in French, as in the yarn shop of Mister and Mister So and So. Love these vintage patterns.
Oh what a conicendince it was on top🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I'm not sure why, but I am really enjoying the mystery pattern. You are doing great.
yay! thank you :)
I love your idea of mystery crochet vintage patterns !!😍😊👍
For the clovers, you need to have one clover already worked on the right to get it
so when you're doing the 2nd clover, you do your 4dc and then slip stitch in the 4th dc from the end of the previous clover to attach it, so it doesn't float like you mention yours do, no? ^^
yes, I know , thank you
@@justvintagecrochet hah, sorry, I tried scrolling through the comments, and didn't find anything about it, didn't want to spam you
@@LualaDy no worries, I have gotten over 80 comments about it and 1 email with a screenshot 😂, lemmy tell ya lol , I do actually very much appreciate the feedback and advice from you all though ❤️
What is a fun mystery puzzle for one person is torture for another person.
I'm always amazed how you can figure out those pattern instructions.
I'm sitting here, half the time scratching my head. So accurate.
thank you :)
Love your mystery!!
What a lovely border!
What a great premise for a show! I absolutely love discovering along side you. I can read knit patterns but not crochet. I’d never be able to do this. If I could I’d be having my son copy patterns just like this because it adds a great element of surprise!
I love this series it is so much fun to watch! I applaud your patience because I would have been throwing those instructions out the window 😅😅😅 ❤
Lol
Thank you 🤗
I tried to follow the pattern with you, but interpreting it my way, with a bit of your help, it was fun!

I love the pattern, it’s so pretty! You did a good job figuring out what they were saying.
When I grow up, I want to be able to make things from patterns! You’re so next level cool. 🖖🏼
Hello 👋🏼 I just wanted to say that I enjoy the mystery patterns, and watching you figure out what's next even if you're not sure how to implement the stitch. Thank you for sharing these mysteries.
Thank you for nice working crochet👑💡👍👏
Beautiful border!! I love these Mystery tutorials! I am so glad I found your channel, but I hate having to wait for the next one. I have watched all the videos since you started....I want more. 😊
more coming! :) and thank you
I stumbled across this video and now I’m hooked in your channel! Lol I ain’t gonna lie though, I was screaming at my TV “THE PARENTHESES TELL YOU HOW TO DO THE PURL STITCH!” Then the rest of the time I’m screaming “NOOOOOO, CHAIN 1 THEN CHAIN 4 FOR THE PURL STITCH!!!!!!”😂😂 all in good fun of course. I love the idea of using vintage patterns❤️
I laughed so much when I read your comment because that's exactly how it was for me too :)
I am in awe of your way of solving the mystery crochet pattern. It is the smart and fun way at the same time and allows us to try to go with you. 😲😍
So much fun to watch and listen to you decipher! You have created a unique experience for TH-camrs. I am new to crochet and found your struggles completely familiar. LOL
thank you :)
Crazy like your mother for give us the crochet instructions!
I was talking to the screen a couple of times there, lol. But all in all you came pretty close especially without a picture and not knowing what it was supposed to be, I think you did a fine job. This is fun, I appreciate you being adventuresome and courageous enough to try these mysteries.
thank you so much :)
