I knit (not fancy just enough to keep my hands busy. I ended up with 20+ scarves so I just ended up handing them out to the homeless guys on my subway commute.) but I've been meaning to learn crochet because I saw that you can easily do patterns that wrap around things. I'm an artist and make art out of animal bones. I've thought about crocheting around a deer's antlers or a small skull that maybe had a flaw too big to work around (While some skulls are unique pieces I have a few standard themes I keep a stock of) I also love history! I think I will pursue this more vigorously because it would combine my love of history with my love of art.
I inherited a crocheted lace bedspread from my great grandmother who crocheted it while blind and bedridden. She waited to die until I was presented to her at 3 days old. 😊
My grandmother had crocheted a beautiful, large table cloth. Christmas 1991, she decided to draw lots to see which of her seven grandchildren would get it. I was only six weeks old, the others between 5 and 23. I won, so the cloth was wrapped up for me to receive when I was older. My grandma passed away just a few months later ❤️
My (very old) great grandmother hung on until my own baby was born just to find out what I had. So for a few months there was 5 living generations of Berg (surname) girls. ❤
I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother. At three days old that would be hard. You had pictures I hope. I'm sure the bedspread is wonderful.
You have a priceless heirloom! Treasure it and enjoy it in good health.
@24carrot... Something to treasure and hand down for sure. I just love handmade things like this. Enjoy! Cheers!
My Grandma taught me this pattern when I was a child in the 70's. I can still do it without a pattern to this day. I'm a grandma now! Lovely memories, thank you. X
That's really awesome, what are the odds?
This must have been so cool for you to see then!
Patterns have come a long way in understanding them better for new comers to enjoy such a long lost craft. Thank you for breaking them down. I know if I ever come across an older pattern, I will be able to understand it better, because of your teachings. Thank you for these. I have older things crocheted by my grandmother who died when I was only 4 and they are very close to my heart. I know I could have learned so much from her. We were very close and shared tea time together since I was only two...I still only drink hot tea today and remember her each time I make one. I turned 60 this year and it still feels like yesterday I was sitting with her in her kitchen late at night drinking our tea together.
Judy,
Your avatar photo looks like a picture of my granny when young. My precious Granny crocheted beautifully. I was very sad that, when she died, I couldn't get a single piece she had crocheted as a remembrance of her. I'm glad you have those pieces from your grandmother and can treasure them. We know what's valuable, don't we?
My beloved grandma crocheted too. I was nine when I lost her. A few years later, when I was twelve, I found her old books and some of her old hooks. I then taught myself - have been crocheting for over thirty years. I have made many beautiful things such as afghans, doilies, doll outfits - and my grandma has been my inspiration through it all.@@vintage6346
I have my first almost 3 year old granddaughter and I ADORE HER. I say to my husband that we never know how much time we have so I try to imprint in her souls how much I love her. Your grandmother accomplished that. You are so lucky to have that kind of enduring love and wonderful memories!
She gave me so much in such a short time...pure love is real and ever lasting.@@Swordatmidnight
That's a sweet little doily. Great job with the decoding!
In case you haven't found it already, Trove (the Australian National Library's digital archive of old printed material) has many vintage crochet patterns in it. It's a free resource with no log in needed.
Iirc the UK's V&A also has something similar (can say for sure about knitting patterns, may have some crochet too)
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this.
STOP giving away the ending!
Your son is SO COOL for helping you with these!!!
Thank you :)
I am so excited to have found this channel. This is like paradise for a brain that enjoys watching other people problem solve, especially in a craft I regularly engage in. I love that it is a break from all of the typical crochet/ knitting podcasts, highlighting such unique patterns as well as historic techniques, terminology, and designs. Thank you for this channel!
Welcome aboard!
Great idea to add the written pattern in the scrapbook. Don't forget to add the date that you made the pattern with everything else. I think its so cool that you are doing this.
Oh indeed :), I think I said that in the video but I may have forgot lol
Looks so much like my grandma’s doilies! She was German, second generation born in North Carolina (born 1887). I never knew her but inherited lots of these doilies-this was such an insight into how she crafted them!
I would love some sort of thing where we all brought our grandmother's doilies to a big convention and put them all together into a giant thing which could be hung in a museum or something. We all have a handful of little bits and bobs. I also thought of maybe burying them in an airtight container at their graves so that in some future archeology they will dig up the bodies and see the things the person knitted and made. Or I need to open a museum!
That came out very well. It's easy to forget how elegant such a simple pattern can be.
I inherited a box of doilies from my aunt. I am in my seventies and have so much respect for my ancestors who did doilies with these thin threads. Thank you so much for showing how this was done!
You’re getting so confident with these patterns - even the odd bits aren’t stumping you for long 😊
Either an old-fashioned typewriter in the background or a puppy tap dancing. Love it. Lovely piece.
I have an old book of all sorts of thread hand crafts that my grand mother gave me. It's in German because in her time many young women learned many languages. In her case she read, wrote and spoke, Italian, French, German, Russian, Latin and her native Croatian. Thank for bringing these to
life, looking forward for more ❤❤❤😊
That's so cool!
Can you read it? I've never seen an old one in german, so I'd be interested to help if you need assistance translating
Schools just ain’t what they used to be!
My Grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 12 years old. I still crochet to this day at the age of 56. I think about her each time I pick up a hook and yarn. I’m dying as my cancer has spread throughout my liver and lungs. I’m teaching my adult kids how to crochet. I’m trying not to be sad as I’m crocheting little clothes for future grandchildren who I will never get to meet and love.
This was a sweet little doily. My grandmother taught me more advanced level crocheting about 40 years ago and I’ve run into a bunch of “just figure it out” patterns.
Uggggghhhh.....spoiled the surprise 😔
@@tammywatters6939lol I was about to say that, too.
Seriously… didn’t even get through the ad, and now I’m not going to watch the video because THE WHOLE REASON I CLICKED was for the surprise.
Please don’t spoil the surprise next time.
Spoiler alert?
I was born in Holland and grew up with my grandmother and mother teaching me from a very young age how to make doilies from a much finer cotton than you are using. I remember how my fingers hurt when I first started. My mother crocheted her whole life and sadly, as she got older, her work became coarser as she could no longer work with the very, very fine cotton.
My mom makes lace-edged recieving blankets with very fine cotton as well. They used to sell it here in the states in lots of different colors, but only sell it in white these days. Her hack is to take DMC cross-stitch thread, unwind & split it, and use two or three threads.
I love that moment when you decided to just trust it…well, I’m just going to do what it says. And it worked out beautifully! So glad the algorithm sent me your way, that was fun.
As a German Crocheter this patterns sound so normal somehow. I knew exactly was she was supposed to do in contrast to what she did with the double treble - 2 chain step- Older (like 20 years old) patterns are written nearly the same but there would be a drawing in crochet symbols next to it.
Several years ago, I wanted to make authentic knitted shawls for all the girls in my daughter's class for their mock Oregon trail walk. This got me looking into old patterns. I found the old patterns fascinating.
You did a great job. It is easy to see why crochet was preserved in families rather than a craft that could be learned on your own. That pattern was very confusing to me. I would have sat with a parent or aunt to have them demonstrate because I would have definitely gotten frustrated with the directions on my own.
I found in some of my old patterns it was assumed you would slip stitch up to the next starting point. Makes it row by row, not spiral. The translations are fun. ☺️
So the slip stitch ends the round?
This is so cool I didn't realize some one was crocheting old patterns and breaking them down. Brings me such joy seeing this. I wanted to recreate a pattern I seen in my local museum. It was filet crochet of the last super . I thought it was so cool to see. It was very old. It made what my mom taught me to do feel that much more special. I have been crocheting for 36 years. Keep up the good work! ❤
You are amazing! As a young girl my grandmother taught me how to crochet intricate doilies. I loved spending time with her and learning to make them!
I really like the outer part (trying to be vague so I don't give it away to new viewers)! So simple but it's very sleek.
Love watching you crochet these patterns. I lack the confidence to do it myself. Will have to try. Thank you for doing it
Honestly, confidence is gained by just doing it. I've crocheted for decades, but didn't attempt a doily until about 10 years ago. I wanted to make one for my mother when I saw this beautiful pattern! So I started. It turned out wrong, so I tried again. And again. Each time the doily looked different, but a little better. I think it was the fourth or fifth one that came out right. Some patterns have errors, sometimes it's me misunderstanding the pattern, sometimes it's both. 😂 But as you make them and get them figured out, you gain the confidence. 😉 A ball of crochet thread isn't terribly expensive....it's ok to "waste" a little in learning. Save your first, no matter how it turns out, and your second and third too. You'll be able to see your improvement, so it will help you keep going!
I have a book (and others) of crochet doilies that I got from my husband's grandmother and I'm sure that I have made this one! It will be interesting to see which others are the same from this very old book! I treasure these patterns and others that I got from her after she was gone.
Such a pretty little doily!
I absolutely love these mystery patterns!
Thanks for all you do, Corinna!♥️🧶
Thank you! 😊
@@justvintagecrochet You are most welcome. By the way, I am from Texas. We were neighbors when you lived ìn OK. 🙂
Shout out to her son . we see your team work and we appreciate you .
thank you! :)
I taught y left-handed self to crochet as a kid. I would get myself into a bind and ask my right-handed mother to help me out. She would look at it, turn it to the wrong side, upside down, a hand it back to me, saying she had no idea. 😂 She taught me to knit right-handed, and I alternate between left and right handed knitting. I am now 65, and am trying to learn right-handed crochet. 🙃
My Mom’s youngest sister was a lefty. My Mom, a righty, taught herself to crochet left handed so she could teach her baby sister how to crochet and knit left handed. Back when they were kids so many lefties were forced to do things the “right” way.
I'm left handed and think right handed crochet is backwards. I still follow the instructions, and it turns out looking like a mirror image of the original.
@@JenniferBristol exactly!
@@bonniecarruth8429 that is love! ❤️ Tomorrow I will be teaching a right-handed newby crocheter in our fiber group (rug hookers, knitters, crocheters - everyone is welcome), tips on how to keep her tension consistent.
my mother’s left handed. she taught me (right handed) how to crochet with us sitting in front of a mirror :)
I liked very much her sharing her doubts during the process!
😊😅
I’m so happy the TH-cam algorithm showed me your channel 🥰 your channel is amazing and I’m so excited for new projects. You rock!
I always did kind of wonder where doilies came from; the only hint I’ve ever had was this sort of braiding technique where everything was attached to long thin weights…
This makes more sense.
The technique with long thin weights might be bobbin lace?
This is the first mystery crochet where I felt like I actually understood the pattern as you went along!! I could make this one 😍
My two most dedicated hobbies of crochet and history omg I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for your hard work!!
Love to watch your hands “figure it out” when you are stumped by one of the older patterns. Your hands speak well. Thanks for another really great video
Oh thank you!
I have some of these antique doilys which I inherited from an old relative. I love them & you did really well to read that pattern x Blessings from the U.K.
Hi, Lil. Your channel just came across my screen. You have a very ingenious son! lol. Say I to him for me! lol. I used to make vintage doilies all the time. It's quite relaxing. Thanks for sharing these with us! I'll be back, Lord permitting and the creek don't rise!
It could be fun to have your son pick a pattern out of the pile for a video - one he thinks is interesting or thinks would stump you! 😊
Cute! God bless
as someone who just learned how to crochet, i am SO impressed with your intuition of crochet 😅 i struggle really bad with reading patterns and this was super impressive!!
Thank you! 😊
That's a Lovely Pattern! 💖
Thank you TH-cam algorithm, this was surprisingly fascinating. Good job!
Very interesting! I am 82 y.o. and still enjoy crocheting which my grandmother taught me when I was about six years old!!! She only crocheted doilies and scarves for tabletops, couches, etc.
I see this not as a d'oyley but as a milk jug cover by sewing beads (glass of course) around the edge to weigh it down so it doesn't slip into the jug.
That’s a real cool collaboration to do with your son 😀
You can use this pattern to crochet around a smooth stone! Find yourself a nicely shaped one (from a landscaper mayber) and crochet this pattern just until it almost covers the top (you won't be making all the rows), then begin decreasing a little in each row. You'll have to experiment, maybe ripping out and trying again. When you've decreased a couple of rows and it fits snugly around the stone, keep going a few rows, making up an edging (or not) until it's tight around to stone. It isn't necessary to completely cover the the entire back. 🙏❤
I love this idea!
It's certainly up to interpretation. It could look entirely different if someone else tried theis pattern. Thats's the great thing about these old patterns.
This turned out so lovely.
I love these mystery crochets, and I love the tips. I am self taught from the early 1970s, and, from several places, I learned to go through the stitches, and the "European" way of crochet, though all my sources were from the U.S.. It wasn't until the 1980s, when friends told me a double was a single and that I should go under and not through. So, it's good that you show us what to look for in a pattern.
Also, I always wanted to make a big coverlet out of thread, but it seemed expensive and pointless, however, you've re-inspired me, and with the new year, I'm going to do a block a month.
My mother had an antique basket of tatting, this reminds me of that.
I’m always amazed at how well you can have no idea what you’re making having a pattern like that and you are able to make what it is and beautifully! Such talent thats why your channel is growing so fast! Well done! Much love
I love this channel and I love this series. Watching Corinna really sparked my interest in vintage crochet styles and taught me so many little tips and tricks that I'd never learned being self-taught. After literal years of crochet experience I finally gained the confidence to grab some tiny hooks and crochet thread to start experimenting with my own vintage crochet! So thank you Corinna for making this channel and sharing your passion with the rest of us
Yay, thank you!
❤😂Love, Love, Love, your problem solving tecniques❤
I have a box of very old patterns left in the house I purchased. I wish I could crochet so bad so I could read them and understand the terms. My arthritic hands don't work well anymore, but I still wish I could learn something easy..I have a very large crochet tablecloth passed down to me. It is so beautiful.
ooh this looks fun. I want to try this so bad now. I love mystery crochet projects.
❤ I have a small box full of doilies that my Grandmother made, but no patterns. This is one of them. Whoop whoop. I now have the pattern for this one. Love it.
Morning greetings!!! I want to thank you for being such a good detractor from my chores. Yeah!!! It's psychologically better to crochet than a wad of the stuff people do in this town that keeps the emt folks busy. Many blessings ya'll!!
Even with you explaining and also demonstrating the stitches this broke my brain. It’s lovely and I’m absolutely never making one.
very much like 1930's patterns. it probably was reprinted in "modern" terms. very nice work!!! Thank you! My mother and aunt taught me to crochet, I still can't do very fancy.
LOVE LOVE LOVE you! I always get a good giggle. I'm new to crochet and fund reading today's patterns are like you reading the vintage ines😜. It's so fun seeing what you end up with when you're done. I wonder if in a hundred or so years if someone will be thinking, what?, when they read our patterns
One of my first projects over 40 years ago
I have done a few doilies that have an odd configuration in the pattern to start out the trellis or filet, and usually it is after they have a sort of flower design. I think they are just trying to get the foundation and there was no other way but to do it offset. If it looks really bad, I have been known to single crochet a row and use an increase to get the base count set for the trellis. It sort of frames the flower that way. But this one looks great and wouldn’t need that!
Very pretty.
Hmm. I was thinking a chignon cover . . . Put a little ribbon through the last row and voila!
When working this type of pattern, you really need to finish off the row before starting a new row. It makes it so much easier. I love this series from you. Its fun to watch the pattern emerge!
I swear can hear a typewriter in the background. What a lovely asmr for this awesome crochet mystery! Thank you for making these!
First time ever seeing a video of yours. I love the concept of mystery patterns! How cool!! I’ll be watching all your other ones now (:
That was so great to watch! Love it!
What a brave and adventurous woman you are. I admire you for that. I'm so OCD I couldn't even try something like that. 🤩
Yay! I won't be confused on terminology…UK calling 😆
Pretty❤
I love the ideas you have for the scrapbook, and yes, absolutely make another for the curtain. Love it all! Hugs
Thanks so much!
This was so much fun. In the '80's I had been given a bunch of knit and crochet patterns from the mid 1800 to 1940's. They were from the lady who taught me how to knit. They were just so much fun to do. About 10 years ago I had lost my house in a flood, and lost all of my patterns. I was so heartbroken. They gave me so much joy. This really reminded me of them. Great video, thanks!
Great idea to add the patterns to the scrapbook.
I told my daughter about crochet scrapbook n all. Good discussion. I told her she could just listen n see what Corinna is doing for helpful hints etc. Heh heh. It's not just crochet... it's bringing families together. Awwww.😁🌸🦋💙😊
I knew it was going to be a dolly from the beginning. This is a pattern ive seen in many homes.
This was fun to watch, thanks 😊
I don't even crochet, and I find this fascinating. I'm so glad I started watching these. Thank you.
This was fun! The algorithm brought me to you, and now I have a new fun playlist to work through in-between projects. I have almost no experience crocheting with thread - especially #10, so I’m looking forward to honing my skills!
I love this idea...a mystery to discover every time... what an ingenious idea...
well that title hooked me! 😉
This is intriguing, love a good mystery lol.
How exciting! You are so talented. I love watching your videos. Much good luck!
Great I am excited! 2 Minutes in...17:30 I think it might be simular to the one that was so dificult..,double in the last doubleand one in the cahin so you are going to build up a pattern like a spiral, could it be? I was wrong 😁 Well, I like that pattern, too. I agree the 12th round shoul have been somthing lighter maybe somthing like "nopsis" (I am just doing the Pineapple Fan 😁)
My grandmother taught me this in 1966. Just never told me what it was called. Than you!
I inherited a beautiful trivet that looks similar to this! The back was the same size but solid. And the two pieces were joined together. It was very handy, and I frequently used it.
Then the dog chewed it up!
I still have it somewhere, so I can decode the pattern, and remake it.
Wooooo, how fun! I love a good mystery! 📚
This is a cute doily 😊
I appreciate how knowledgeable you are! I’ve really learned a ton from your channel. I have my grammas collection of patterns and some date back to as early as 1912! ❤
What a cool idea you’re doing! Very interesting
I really like your attitude about working these mystery patterns. From your example I have removed the need for absolute perfection in my crochet projects. Doing so has brought the joy I was missing in my crochet journey. So glad to have found your channel. 🙂
Wonderful! I love to hear that ! :)
That is a pretty simple daily. I would like to make one. Thank you
Love you doing this
How fun!. Im trying it now. Spending time frogging...hopefully will get there. Thank you
“Very simple” 😅😂
It’s gorgeous. You spoke another language to me though. That sounded very complicated 💜
That's beautiful! At first thought it was the stichy mawmaw taught me but then it got even better.
So much fun!
I have a set of "coasters" made by the older sister of my mother's maternal grandmother. Apparently my mother's mother received them when she married, never used them, gave them to my mother when she & Daddy married. My mother handed them down to me years ago.
hiya corinne! cute doily. now that i would attempt in a thread. xoxo
Hi Anja I am totally in love with your channel will try this later I have some Cordonet so it might have to be a smaller hook again hugs and thanks xx
this video made me understand how the hell crochet works finally. thank you?
