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. 😊

[@RainbowPawPrint]

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 ❤️

[@grannym2880]

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. ❤

[@patriciajrs46]

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.

[@callofgaming5642]

You have a priceless heirloom! Treasure it and enjoy it in good health.

[@FAITH2x4x7]

@24carrot... Something to treasure and hand down for sure. I just love handmade things like this. Enjoy! Cheers!

[@helenmilhinch9803]

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

[@Bowie_E]

That's really awesome, what are the odds?

[@Foreverenpointe]

This must have been so cool for you to see then!

[@judyoliveira3232]

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.

[@vintage6346]

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?

[@AgdaFingers]

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

[@Swordatmidnight]

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!

[@judyoliveira3232]

She gave me so much in such a short time...pure love is real and ever lasting.@@Swordatmidnight

Your son is SO COOL for helping you with these!!!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you :)

[@katv1195]

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.

[@laurenbrender3671]

Iirc the UK's V&A also has something similar (can say for sure about knitting patterns, may have some crochet too)

[@MimisQuest]

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this.

​@judipierry549 no we don't have to you need to STOP looking at the comments. 😂

[@daisygirl9914]

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.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh indeed :), I think I said that in the video but I may have forgot lol

[@111scone]

Either an old-fashioned typewriter in the background or a puppy tap dancing. Love it. Lovely piece.

[@amyleigh9417]

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!

[@Catalyst_Christie]

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!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Welcome aboard!

[@chaoskitteh]

That's really sweet of your son to do that. He sounds like a good kid 😊

[@tracyvision]

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.

[@FionaC1]

You’re getting so confident with these patterns - even the odd bits aren’t stumping you for long 😊

[@sidmelucci3675]

That came out very well. It's easy to forget how elegant such a simple pattern can be.

[@cjoyw4]

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!

[@BeccainHawaii]

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.

[@ramonamartin8024]

It's very nice

[@CrystalMendoza05]

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.

[@MajickkShow]

Shout out to her son . we see your team work and we appreciate you .

[@justvintagecrochet]

thank you! :)

[@GB-he1zc]

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 ❤❤❤😊

[@fyrirraan482]

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

[@secondchancehomestead]

Schools just ain’t what they used to be!

[@DowntownFarmerBrown1]

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! ❤

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.

[@sylviaharrington6748]

Love watching you crochet these patterns. I lack the confidence to do it myself. Will have to try. Thank you for doing it

[@AuntNutmeg]

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!

[@divinenonbinary]

That’s a real cool collaboration to do with your son 😀

[@cathydavis9259]

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. 🤩

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.

[@rhonda8231]

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!

[@kywire._]

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.

[@evb1601]

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.

[@FallacyBites]

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.

[@carolroberts8930]

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.

[@bigred9428]

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.

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.

[@nancybridegam6903]

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. 🙃

[@bonniecarruth8429]

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.
