25:00 (approximate timestamp) First, I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. That being said, the only thing I'd change about their original pattern is to not do the color change until slip stitching into the stitch where the beginning chain 3 will arise from to avoid the visible colored slip stitches. Also.... Just sort of writing this as a reminder to myself to do just that when I get around to making this 😉. Thank you again for the tutorials. I've been searching and hoping for knit and crochet items like these, ESPECIALLY cape style ever since Bernadette Banner came on the scene... It's just too bad I can't sew lol

[@laurawilliams7782]

Do we need to buy the pattern to find out how much yarn this uses? I'm not sure I have enough in stash. Thanks

I tried to crochet this when I was 12! I failed pretty badly, and that was over a decade ago. It's so cool to see it being made by someone else. It turned out lovely!

[@gaylescovel7308]

Im just impressed that you tried at 12 yrs old! 🥰🤗

[@lindamann-bd5kk]

This is so beautiful I think we should start making more of these and wear them I don't like the fashions of today I'm going to start making clothes from that era and wear them along with the under garments and corsets Thank you so much for sharing these patterns with us God bless you and your family and of course you cute fur baby love y'all very much

[@marciam7301]

I don't care if this type of shawl is not in style; I love it, and I would wear it! Looking through my stash now to see which yarn I will use to make this. ❤❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

no joke here, I so will too, it's so feminine !

[@rebeccaenlow7395]

[@viviwilhelmsson307]

@@kimberlyaustin6677 Yes! I thought so too! :)

[@heatherknits124]

This type of shawl should be a required article of women’s clothing! It stays on, it’s lovely, and so easy to work! Plus, it’s warm! But using wool makes it a year-round item.

[@irisl2508]

This is gorgeous! I really like how you do the picots. The only thing I would do differently is the color changes. I would slip stitch over to the chain 3, then change color. That way, there isn't the ridge of contrasting color carrying across the shell at the beginning of the color change round.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Great idea!

[@claraplum9593]

You probably won’t see the color changes amongst all the folds. Your instructions are very clear. Great instructor!

[@justvintagecrochet]

@@claraplum9593 thank you so much! 🤗

[@irisl2508]

@Clara Plum you are probably right, and no one would notice. It's just a personal choice I would make as it would bother me, if no one else, 😂

[@jsrmusic1]

I would slip stitch across the shell in the same color as well

[@mariammapanicker3954]

Very beautiful.

I'm making this shawl with soft cream yarn. I'm so excited! I loved the older fashions and I wish we still dressed like this. Can't wait to finish and make more beautiful things! Thank you Just Vintage Crochet!

Oh my I would LOVE to make this!! The only rel challenge for me would be the loose stitching: I crochet with a death grip and have for over 50 years 🤷‍♀️😅 I'm going to try anyway 😍

[@bobbipearce8545]

So pretty

[@dawnchaplin7512]

I made 2 of these shawls. One from baby alpaca and the second from brown sheep’s 20% wool and 80% cotton in the colors cotton ball and salmon berry. Both came out beautifully. I did extend the length of each group of rows so that it would work for what I want to use them for.

[@roserenik6375]

This is a very beautiful shawl. It is a little warm for my area of the USA unless I make it in a cotton yarn.

[@bettablue2660]

This is too funny…I’m working a tablecloth while I watch you and your loose instruction landed in my work. This caplet is lovely. I can see a tree skirt with shiny macrame cord. Thank you for this hard work.

I have that yarn. Maybe this is the one to make.❤

[@sisterpamop]

This is so much fun watching the pattern develop. With many WIPs my first inclination was to finish one of those before starting something new, but this shawl is quite gorgeous and different from anything else I've made. Therefore, I started this shawl today with the goal to get to round 8 before getting back to the WIPs. So far the pattern is turning out lovely.

[@shaynethatcher611]

Very pretty!! I really love the delicate lacy look of the shawl and I think the blue really adds to the look. Thank you 😊

[@thisismyname3328]

Beautiful! My sister is expecting her first baby (first baby in the family since I was born), so I'm looking for patterns that'll be useful for the baby years, and also beyond them. This fits perfectly! My great grandmother was the last crocheter in the family, so all baby blankets since she died have been knitted. It'll be nice to have something to connect with her over!

Hola! Soy una amante del crochet y soy nueva en este canal. Ayer, buscando un tutorial para una amiga de un shawl encontré el tutorial de Edwardian Era Circular Shawl. ¡Quedé encantada! Quiero tejerlo para mi. Repasando todos sus videos, encontré el tutorial de un traje vintage de 1970 cuyo patrón compré en Etzy, pero, a veces se me hace un poco complicado leer las instrucciones si no tienen gráficos. El patrón es el del traje Juliet de 1969. Ahora veré el video completo porque tengo que hacerlo a mi medida. Pero repito, estoy FELIZ de haber encontrado este canal. Ahora entraré en su tienda de Etzy. Gracias gracias!!! 🧶 ❤

OMG Corinna, this is just the most spectacular shawl. Great for spring and summer Sunday morning church or any other daytime event when a lady gets dressed up. Add a sparkly yarn and it turns into evening wear. Who cares if it’s not yet in vogue, as you said, with enough of us, we can bring it back into vogue! Just love all of your content and watching you has caused me to reach for my hooks again, so thank you! Cannot wait to see what your next lovely will be!

[@justvintagecrochet]

sure! you can use a 3 weight yarn and a 7mm hook , and if need be just ad a couple or 3 more rows of the 6dc shell portion before we change back to the blue :)

Another took my breath away moment at the finished piece,I want to make one and I would wear it with a dress and with jeans and sassy heels, loving it❣

[@mizsherm4352]

I'm just a beginner but I think that I can follow along and make this maybe a little longer in back and in black maybe with a dark red contrast. Very cool, gothic.

[@Lady_dromeda]

I tried to make this last week but with 100% the wrong size yarn and hook 😅 I have this pretty pinky purple yarn I thrifted and thought the circle shawl would look pretty. It was turning out way too small, the yarn is very thin, and i was using a hook that matched the yarn size

[@gaylescovel7308]

Im thinking use a bigger hook closer to her j hook. You want the stitches to be loose n lacy. Like double or triple the size hook to get the stitches loose like hers were. Omgosh with those colors it would be 'pretty' n just in time for summer too❣ im thinking dark green n grey but then im not a young girl either, lol.

[@Lady_dromeda]

@@gaylescovel7308 i was thinking that, but I found a pattern that works with this size. I’ll try the capelet again someday

Hello. I love watching you turn these vintage/antique patterns into such beautiful works of art! I’ve been crocheting since I was about 15- I’m 64 now but I know I just wouldn’t have the patience to do these patterns. Off topic- you have beautiful hands and nails. You’re just a joy to watch what you create! I so enjoy the mystery patterns. It’s great that you have a son like you do. 😊

Beautiful! I imagine that shell stitch worked in a blouse top down style. Also, I followed your last mystery crochet video and joined rounds replacing the chains like you showed here and it worked out really great (a double if there were three chains and a half double if there were two) maybe consider that for the next time

I was thinking about using a Hobbii Sultan Cotton Cake but I can’t decide whether to use it just as it plays out or when there’s a color change use the dark outside color then when you go back to white I would go back to the lighter center color.

It is a beautiful shawl. My grandmother used to make round shawls only in wool yarn. Thank you for sharing Corinna!!

[@maggielu7802]

That is such a beautiful shawl. Blue was definitely the right color to go with. It may not be in style but it would definitely be a conversation piece. I'd totally wear it.

[@melindakleczek222]

This shawl is beautiful and I would describe the look of it as being "frothy".

[@xCr00k3Dx]

So, small yarn compared to the hook, on every round, over stuff the stitches. Double crochets in the round, some mesh stitch rounds, granny/Van Dyke stitches rounds, edged with shell stitches, and then fold the fabric over to create the shawl. Maybe I'm missing something, but it feels like you could work in rows for about 3/4ths a circle, do half the work, and end up with a more feminine, bouncy, and lighter shawl/capelet? Given, I don't generally don't like heavy clothes, and want my clothes more breathable than aerogel.

[@Lulu4Him]

I just finished mine and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Glam Mauve by Big Twist is what I used. I'd suggest making this shawl with it, but make sure you do it loosely.

At first with it looking circular I kept wondering how will this be a shawl. Its like that 1865 shawl pattern you did in a way, how you fold it over on itself. It's very pretty!
