Can This 181 Year Old Pattern Really Create a Masterpiece?

[@donnabeard9344]

Before my grandmother died she gave me a cookie tin that had crochet swatches of patterns for lace edgings and motifs that an older lady gave her. This was how they used to share patterns with those who couldn’t read pattern directions. I framed them and hung them on the wall

[@Ang77]

Thats such a great idea protecting the history of the pattern while also displaying the work . I love this idea

[@Crochetedbymichi]

Your channel is going to blow up!!! This vintage channel was a genius idea already but the mystery series brings it to another level ❤❤❤❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your support!! :) meant a lot

[@mercedesmedlen411]

Agreed❤. I’m obsessed

[@jennyprorock]

Fully agree. Its gonna be massive. Quickly.

[@toknitorknot2315]

Can't agree more. I just cannot stop binging this series! 🧶💚

[@cindywalker1769]

Michi, I agree. And so many of us are going to bring back the 1800s & 1900s clothing, throw blankets, etc. 😂❤

[@DanaDana-fn9ff]

These are the most awesome crochet videos on KZbin! Thank you!

[@halcrochets]

Love the larger yarn. While not as delicate looking, we can see and follow along much easier! You are so talented at deciphering a basic pattern! So fun!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@kaytiej8311]

Hearing you ponder as you decipher these patterns is so reassuring. Its not just me! I think this would make a sweet cushion cover front, with the casing made of a soft dove grey or even lilac for a more floral look, imagination being the only limit.😊

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you :) and That's a great idea !!

[@katgriffin52]

I agree you didn't need the last row for the pattern - it looks way better that way. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern it was exciting to watch!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@nancyharris4703]

I remember mother making this pattern in thread in the 1960’s. ❤️

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

I hate the expression, "Not your grandmother's crochet". I loved my grandma's crochet!

[@Ang77]

I have a little baby blanket that my friends grandmother made for my son and I keep on the back of an antique child's rocking chair in my living room its beautiful and sweet I wish I could master the skills of our grandmothers

Nice !

​@@Ang77 If someone displayed my work in their home with such admiration I would cry out of happiness. I'm sure your friend's grandmother put love in each stitch!

[@kathwhit6462]

Love your enthusiastic approach! Makes every stitch and glitch surmountable.thank you, from the wee small hours of the morning

[@geekatrinabrown]

I love the scallop as the edge as well!

[@cindynavarro2852]

I love your interpretations of these patterns. These patterns didn't have many instructions because EVERY young lady was taught the basics of crochet, knitting, beading and netting because you made your home decorations, they were not bought! The only change I would make would be to make the triples (doubles) in the chain spaces rather than the actual chains. This would be lovely in #10, #5 or #3 cotton. Would make lovely antimacassars for the backs of your chairs!! Please keep going with this series. These are a ture "blast from the past".

[@christinenolan1418]

I like is without the last round too. Very pretty. It makes it more of a scallop pattern.

[@violalafevers680]

I agree, I like it much better without the last row.

[@jmolvera8337]

I like it the way you ended it!

[@Desaundrea]

Nice plate mat! 🥰👍🏽👏🏽

[@ginnied7346]

you're so good at reading these old patterns, it's great watching it come together and finding out what it is and watching you add a modern twist and making it work is awesome Love your channel

Thank you so much! :)

Awesome :) , I'm loving making them

[@devils.advocate2354]

Cute. Appreciated you using the larger yarn as easier on older tired eyes.

[@justvintagecrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@gloriabailey6170]

Oh wow I had guessed table topper which I kinda was looking for I’m making a sun flower table topper thought this eoukd mske the best thank you

[@denisetrinitysisters1286]

Love how descriptive your hands are as you work the patterns! I have been a crocheter for 50 years but watching you crochet and explain the patterns just brought a new understanding that I had been missing. I really really enjoy the mystery series and watching the patterns develop! Even the ones that don't work out. ❤❤

[@gingergrant3932]

That is really pretty. I love it. I like the mystery of not knowing what will become of the project.

[@Chifaire]

I freaking love this series! My mom has a bunch of these doilies, made in the same/extremely similar pattern. My great grandma made them so I guess they were made sometime between 1920 and the 1950s or 60s. Seeing your intricate little mandala swatch next to it, it made me wonder how very recent these more complex pattens are. And also just how long they were using the kind of patterns from your book.

[@justvintagecrochet]

That's quite a thought!! and thank you

[@brendatroche5762]

I agree with you on the scallop - much prettier. Love these mystery makes!

[@annelewis7531]

This pattern challenge is a brilliant idea. You do take us on a journey of discovery. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@passiontiger74]

Made it along with you again :) in row 7 I had the "plain" (sc) from the previous row be the center of my 'miss 3'. I'm nuts about symmetry and that just looked better to me. Love doing this series with you. Thank you.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Nice work!

[@nz-nz]

Oh yes! Removing the last row is MUCH nicer!!!!!

[@lark2023]

This would make beautiful placemats❣️❣️❣️

[@rosaliewarboys6243]

I apologize if I sounded snippy I have totally respect for what you are doing . Thank you for sharing with all of us.❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

No worries :)

[@junelittle5748]

I like this pattern minus the final round. Gorgeous

[@priyakamad5175]

Very very thankful to you for these old patterns. Your reading the pattern You are showing us properly and slowly and Very cooly you are teaching us every pattern That creates interest to knit the pattern. God bless and help you everywhere and every time.

[@barbaraleaweaver-mercado1820]

I've watched two and am hopelessly hooked. (Puns are life)

[@maryrawson360]

I think it's so neat that you figure out the pattern and we get to watch you work it out.

[@melindamosbey8257]

YOU are so much fun!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh thank you!

[@mishellegarrett9243]

I love watching you wrestle with a crochet hook 😁

[@LVXMagick]

This is a great way for people (ME) to learn to read crochet patterns better. I usually just make up patterns in my head then work them out as I crochet....but that doesn't always end pretty. Great channel!!🥰🙏

[@jennypaxton8159]

Massively oversized worsted-weight doilies are EXCELLENT for yarn-bombing/yarnstorming!

[@dees3179]

I love the mystery series. Genius.

[@missmuffetsstitches]

Yes, I agree. It looks better without the last round. Lovely ❤❤❤

[@georgiacarothers3992]

[@TheCassandraStryffe]

This is my new favorite series ! I LOVE the surprise patterns!

[@justvintagecrochet]

yay! Thank you :)

[@smith899]

I agree about removing the last row. There is something visually appealing about the edge waving back and forth. Very pretty!

[@gailgodfrey768]

It looks more detailed. I like that too!!

[@galaxythree4653]

Clever idea for a channel. Just started watching. Really fun. Enjoy! So much fun!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much :) , yes I know , these are UK antique Patterns , the st terms are different from US terms, and in the UK a Treble is a US double and so on, in fact they dont use the words " Single Crochet" , they call it a double crochet , I have been studying antique and vintage crochet from the US and UK for a while , and I have been crochet for over 20 years :) ... I really appreciate your feedback though

[@justvintagecrochet]

skipping through parts of the video will skip past the parts where I explain this :)

[@daynamonazym1160]

I agree with you, pull out the last round. The waves made the piece prettier, curvy. I love this , following along, learning made fun

This makes a nice sofa doilie as my grandma called them.

Love your Chanel and the way you work loving the colour am dislexic the way you pass things out ❤😊🦋🫠🥰🤗😄your a star ⭐️ xx

[@eunicej]

It turned out beautiful! It’s amazing how you can work these patterns out. I’d be stumped and probably would have given up haha

[@melodyhadley7551]

What a fun trip back through time you have taken us on! I too like it scallopy around.

[@debabrams8438]

Hello 👋.I like it better with out the last row.. very pretty.thanks for sharing this with us.

[@evelyneverett4719]

Beautiful. I love seeing these old patterns brought back to life and enjoyed again. Keep up the great work

[@thewitchhut63]

Following the pattern, for R7 mine worked out so that for the skip 3, I skipped the last st, the sc, and the first st of the next set of chains, it worked out perfectly. It just made more sense as there are 10 ch's and we're only working in 8 of them, so leaving the 1st and the last st empty plus the sc (the 3 skipped chains), it worked out more evenly and balanced. I also went off the rails on R10 and put all 3 sc's in the same st, lol. Turns out R11 ended up a tiny bit ruffled (which was a pleasant surprise that I loved) due to the extra ch6 spaces doing it this way created. I also left off R12 because I felt it was finished. That R12 made yours look too utilitarian and not delicate, I'm glad you opted to take it off. I can only imagine what this one would look like using the thinner #10 thread and corresponding hook. Something I'm not even considering doing cuz all these patterns using that thread/hook is killing my hands, lolol! Another great job and looking forward to the next one I can swear a whole lot at, LOLOL!

[@marylou2729]

Love it without the last round! ❤😊❤

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

Totally agree on taking that last row off , fun project.

[@lavernaphifer159]

It came out cute and I really liked the wig

[@gailgodfrey768]

Make that in cotton, and you'll have a big doily. That is so !!!!! Pretty.

[@brendamccomas7882]

I feel the same ! I like the scallop better also. Beautiful doily! That was fun but thier patterns are harder to figure out but they would probably have a hard time reading ours today.

[@justvintagecrochet]

I totally agree!

Very pretty pattern! I love looking at old vintage designs. Thank you for bringing them back and taking the time for sharing with all of us. I look forward to viewing more and hopefully making some. Thank you. ❤️💐

[@venitacoffin204]

I agree with taking out row 12. This is cool.

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

I LOVE that you used worsted weight yarn for this! I could see making more of them (perhaps in different colors?) and turning them into a 'lacy' Afghan or bedspread! That size, it wouldn't take a lot of them to make a coverlet for bed! I would leave off that last filet round, myself... I think the flower motif!!!

[@LauraE.9897]

I agree, I like it better without the last round. It turned out very pretty & looks nice in the thicker yarn & I'm sure would be beautiful in the thread too. I'm finishing up a project & then am planning to follow your last poncho tutorial. I'm really getting excited to start it. I also really want to make the gorgeous shawl that can double as a throw & has the long fringe, so pretty. My list keeps growing. You're a great teacher! 🩷

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you! 😊 and I can say , you're gonna love the poncho, works up fast, I use the shawl as a throw :)

[@mrs.mouthyrun3449]
