Elegance & Simplicity | Mystery Victorian Crochet Pattern

[@chriscavy]

If no one ever changed, or experimented with, patterns then we wouldn't have any new patterns or techniques! This turned out really beautiful

[@torakfett3351]

6 seconds in and I’m already cracking up. I love this channel so much. ❤ Your ability to be funny, family friendly and a great teacher keeps us coming back. Never change.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much!!

[@bonnieballew7762]

Patterns are like recipes they have room for innovations according to the one making them, as long as you already know the basics.

[@lizstraw8041]

I love your podcast. I am a knitter, not a crocheter (wrist problems). Elizabeth Zimmerman (1910-1999), a knitting teacher, said “Don’t be a blind follower.”

[@ann-mariemeyers9978]

Elizabeth Zimmerman lived 45 miles from me. I never met her. I her called the Knitting Goddess. Her books taught me to knit fearlessly,

[@marywrigjt7614]

Same here.!!

[@annrejda-wolfe6358]

You know I feel like you are my spirit animal. I found myself arguing with a pattern yesterday and I knew it was okay to do this because all the great ones do.

[@torakfett3351]

Omg me too!! I was making a bag, and was talking to the pattern like it was a naughty child! 😂😂 It knew what it did.

[@naowright9308]

I do, too!😂😂😂 I talk to the patterns as well. I have some glove patterns that are crummy, and I have no problem telling them so.🤣🤣🤣

[@YvonneSowder]

I talk to the TV and to patterns. Had argument wit pattern last night an this am . at the moment I won. Hah😂

[@tinachristy8347]

Thank you, I thought Iwas alone!! My husband says I am losing it! I win the argument, and then grumble about the pattern being wrong and how it should be. 😂😂

[@jaynnnewell4722]

Personally I prefer a pointer point, but that’s the beauty of crafting, you can make it to your own preferences!

[@danadean5653]

😂CROTCHULAR 😂 thanks for the giggle!

[@justvintagecrochet]

LOL

[@strawbabieareyoucrazy]

This is the most cozy and relaxing crochet channel on KZbin! I love this series and it’s so fun and interesting to watch when I’m bored or while I’m crocheting my own pieces. You have such a charming personality and you’ve inspired me to try some older patterns than I’m used to (I’m 17 so I mainly do the trendy new patterns) 🩷🩷🩷

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@Troutay]

Perfect morning: You, the mystery pattern, and coffee! I can't make bows either. Another great video!

[@torakfett3351]

SAME!!! ❤ I am trying a vanilla protein shake in my coffee today- it is not as good as my vanilla almond milk but I’d do it again.

[@MissLoopynat86]

Hey, just wanted to say you are such a beautiful soul. You brighten my day with your videos as you are funny, not scared to make mistakes and always end with something lovely. I'm from the uk and i can tell you our crochet terminology is stupid. I use US terminology it makes more sense! This turned out beautifully! Keep being you and keep shining like the diamond you are x

[@YvonneSowder]

Agree

[@oldchickenlady]

I live in the US and I prefer UK terms....funny!!😹

[@debraperkins4448]

I Named Her..."Beautiful Soul"...... b'cuz Just Isn't SHE?? SHE Cracks me Up TOO, and as a Retired School Bus Driver, She's Got me Back into Crocheting. Love to the UK, From New Mexico, and Yes, We Are a State, in the USA😅😂

[@Hippiechick11]

I love how it turned out. And its cool how you can make slight changes to make it up to date.

[@JustSaralius]

I think the size is fine as long as you have the ribbons as ties (which is what I think they where meant for) that are long enough for you to tie behind you. :)

[@GracefulHaka]

I agree with you about not liking a shawl with a sharp point. I will use your advice about the chain-one, or no-chain! I have bypassed several lovely patterns for that reason. I will keep the chain-one along the sides but definitely not at the point. Again, being an old experienced crocheter I have learned something new. Thank you!

[@donnasqueaky2]

I love it but I would continue with the scallops. I think it would make the ribbon pop more. ❤🙂

[@LadyValkyri]

I love all of your laces edgings and ribbons! You picked GOOD STUFF! If I can manage it next month I'd like to buy you a little bone bodkin for your birthday, so you can make easy work of threading ribbons through your work. Love & hugs!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh thank you!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

Thank you for all the tips and info you give throughout this video. It’s almost like a short lesson in crochet history 😊

[@patricialittle2406]

Pretty little shawl, suitable to dress up or dress down. Love it.

[@jlovelace486]

Perfect music. Ode to Joy I believe. Ode to the joy of crochet

[@johntally4579]

If you decide to get bifocals in the future, try the no line. I've worn them for about ten years. Love them.

[@ReallyJillRogoff]

So pretty, especially with the dusky pink details. And I totally agree with you about trying variants on such a simple, repetitive pattern. Lovely work.

[@Bethabara9]

oh my, that is pretty! I watch a lot of old Sherlock Holmes and different old movies and i have seen shawls that looked like that. The ribbon just made it perfect! I miss going in the stores for stuff, I cant walk thru anymore (cant breath for that long a walk) and oh my, I do miss the yarn aisles! I liked the 2nd way the best but the first look was cute and looked very authentic!

[@snospmoht3252]

Hugs.

[@somechick941]

I love the variations and pointers you offer. It's great that such a simple pattern can be customized to anyone's preference with small changes. Looking forward to seeing you use the ribbon down the line as well.

[@kathykeeperofcrafts]

I like it! Don't apologize for things. You're teaching us things and the bows you teach yourself❤

[@schnauzersareawesome7209]

I loved the various ways to wear the finished product, and I also enjoyed your choice of music.

[@judyeng9822]

This one is Adorable! Great for a child! But would be perfect for an adult also! Colors and ribbon add just the right touch! Thank you!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend, also Happy Birthday! 💜🙏😇

[@naowright9308]

I always thought I liked pointed shawls, but as I started making a shawl I realized the point was too much. I agree with you that the short shawls look okay with the pointy curve and the bigger shawls look better with gentler points to curves. The shawl looks GORGEOUS! 😍

[@moo...imacow1637]

I always love working on a knit or crochet project while I watch your videos! Thank you!

[@angelacepeda5981]

It turned out so cute!! 😍 The ribbon added the perfect touch.

[@nancyjohnson8939]

Oh that's a pretty shawl. I love the ribbon

[@daisygirl9914]

That Ethereal Eyelash is so nice to work with & works up so nice. I made a baby goose with it. Don't forget on the one cream cotton tassel trimming to cut the stay stitching after attaching to your project. The manufacturer uses the stay stitching to keep the tassels from tangling.

[@ErdriedDeirdre]

I like that this is using the Granny square stitch! I pretty much love Granny Squares so this rocks my socks. 😆 It's going to be great when Fall and Winter hit. 🥰

[@erikagholston6610]

Very pretty shawl& the ribbon set it off.

[@jenreeves7684]

I love the ribbon at the bottom. It beautifies it so much! 🎉

[@AlisonCrook-qg8hc]

So beautiful Corrina.

[@novamcclung5382]

❤ I love the differences you showed with making the pattern.

[@rubypayton4539]

I love the music but the high speed crocheting is not my thing. You are still my favorite crocheting teacher.

[@kathykeeperofcrafts]

It's like food recipes we can change crochet to our taste. Go for it girl.

[@yolandadelgadobatista821]

I adore your podcasts. Your proposals are fantastic. Thank you very much

[@cynthiahowe8697]

I use Dollar store readers they work just fine. Have even uses the ones that sit on the end of your nose over my long distance glasses and they work well too. My dr prescribed a 3.00 so just bought that strength at the store.

[@juanitacrocker2474]

It's so pretty! I love how its pinned at the neck in front in the 3rd example of how it could be worn. The ribbon looks cute, and I bet it would be really cute without it too, either way it's a really pretty shawl and so simple too! ❤😊 Love it! Great project...

[@rustievian8634]

I highly recommend getting into no line bifocals as soon as you can afford it. I am the same age as you. July 1980 baby. I have the no line bifocals so I can see up close and far away and the magnification and the distance blends so nicely.

[@jamiemiesler322]

“Crotchular area” 😂 Thank you for another great video!

[@justvintagecrochet]

lol 🤗

[@3rt453]

Had a memory unlocked by that phrase! When me and my sister and our friends were young teens listening to In Da Club, we devised a dance move which was deemed the “bus driver crotchal grab.” One hand out, on the imaginary steering wheel of your bus, and the other hand tightly gripping your crotchular area, you bop up and down like iss ur birfday. I haven’t thought about that for twenty years. 😅

[@merrybond8520]

😂

[@debraperkins4448]

😅😂🤣​@@3rt453

[@Teerae11]

Again you have taught me something new !! I have shyed away from the point just don't like it, love the ribbon , makes it classy but wearable anytime, Thank You for another great video 📷 ❤ it !! Have a Happy Birthday!!

[@GloriaHearn-t3t]

That shawl is just lovely and I love how you give these vintage patterns a modern feel while still keeping them vintage - hope that makes sense.

[@shirleydavis9176]

I also have an astigmatism.. been wearing glasses since my 20’s and now have no line bifocals so I can read things better.. wasn’t too hard to adjust to the no line bifocals and they’ve helped me read cross stitch, knitting and crochet patterns without having to change glasses. As always, I really enjoy your mystery patterns. ❣️

[@snospmoht3252]

I'm with you, the no line bifocals are the way to go for sure as long as they place the transition correctly lol. But they are pricier and people who haven't been wearing glasses forever (60+ years here) sometimes have trouble starting out with them from the get go. Give her a couple years of wearing the two separate types and I'm betting she'll be ready to make the move to our side lol.

[@shannonsullivan1968]

Great pattern for sure. In the issue of “reader” glasses-just pick those up from Walmart or even a Dollar Store. I wore readers for literally years and the strength I needed changed about every 9-12 months. I never paid more than $7-$10 for them. I would buy at least two pairs so I always had a pair of readers close at hand. 🥰

[@Kayari]

Oooh that eyelash yarn reminds me of this yarn I used to make a scarf & some fingerless gloves a while back, I think it was the red heart hygge yarn but I can't remember exactly The shawl turned out super cute too!

[@ThundermansThunder]

It is pretty! There is no way to work a pattern like that without knowing those old pattern terms! I'd be lost trying to interpret it! If I were to make this shawl, I would have elected to include the scallops to really set off the ribbon and bows. It just feels incomplete without it, in my humble opinion. Your videos are so interesting, informative, and fun!

[@calebtemple1253]

I've always loved making shawls with the frills on them cause to me it adds that movement to the piece when the wind blows it or when the person is simply walking around. Probably about 7-9inch frill length is my go to. But i love the pattern you used. Sometimes simple is elegant with the right touch of color.

[@amgroves76]

That book has produced some cracking patterns! And i know its your air-conditioning but i like to think you have a secretary there transcribing everything 😂. 💚🇬🇧

[@oldchickenlady]

I always wondered if someone was typing in the background.... ahhh, the old days!

[@stitchaspellMilan]

Question: when did the van dyke stitch become a granny stitch? And do you know why it was changed? I love your mystery patterns! Thank you! 🦋

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

I LOVE that comment you made about the chain 2 points, and the issues with using it on a poncho. I actually did design a crochet poncho that I made for myself, and yes, the chain 2 corners make the poncho too long. I wish I had stuck with a chain 1 at the corners. In fact, sitting here watching you alter the pattern has given me ideas for a couple of new poncho/capelet ideas! That shawl turned out to be really cute! Maybe it could be a little longer... or maybe (with a slightly lighter weight yarn) it could be a spring/summer capelet/shawl to where when the nights get just a tad chilly. I think I would have liked to see it done with the scalloped edge, would have made it just a little dressier, but that's just me :)

[@frozengh03t]

Your nails are so pretty! The edging you got is so beautiful, I can't wait to see what projects you use it for!

[@toetsietoet]

What a ribbon can makes you're day ;-) From The Netherlands

[@snospmoht3252]

Ugh. I almost should hate you girl. The ribbon and edging sections can be soooo dangerous for me, even if I don't have any projects needing them. I'm like a magpie and they're shiny things. I just go through the aisles wanting this one, and this one, and this one, and... I'll just sit amd admire them just like you were doing. I was so excited when you dumped out that haul but also dreading it cause now that I've seen yours I've got to talk sternly to myself and NOT go directly to acquire some more for myself. Drooling... Plus loving the cello music!

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

I have several 30-50"s magazines that were gifted to my by a former patient. The patterns are fragile so I will have to copy the pages but you are inspiring me to get them out and give them a go. I have 4 sweaters on the go, three in time out because I want to get one done soon. Have you seen the Gypsy Shawl? I really want to make it. Thanks for sharing with us, I always enjoy watching create!

[@tinalotte39]

I like the pattern. Gut I think with the border and without the ribbon it would be brettier.

[@kellyalderfer6430]

Once you hit the 100,000 mark. Then you’ll have extra cash to take care of your eyes! At least that’s what I’ve been told. You’re so close to! Maybe put out a couple of more shorts and remember to stick that subscribe and like picture so that people remember to do it. You’re an excellentinstructor and I love listening to your voice. Have a great day!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much for that! yeah I hope this will help me get some insurance , it's been too long since I had any :)

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I was recently Blessed by finding my favorite magazine from the 1980s which I thought I'd lost. Thanks to this channel, I am going to make the patterns I skipped for my lack of comprehension. Thank you so much!

[@devils.advocate2354]

8:23 I appreciate a good juejing 🧡

[@mtngrammy6953]

It's lovely! My house is cold, especially in the fall and winter, so I'm always wanting something around me. This would be ideal. I would adapt it to be longer, especially since you say it is more like a child's size.

[@c.harvey2424]

In MT with the wind and below zero temps and arthritic hips, the longer the better!

[@norasutherlin1115]

yay one i can make. the ribbon is super cute. bows take as much practice as crochet lol x

[@Tatsuemin]

I did watch this on my TV while working on some cleaning/organizing so I didn't comment before (right when it came out). The last video when you told us about the eyesight problem I knew it was astigmatism (I even left a comment). My advice for you is that when you are using your phone to type or play, try to find an angle that is more comfortable for your eyesight. I need to hold it tilting in a position that my siblings find funny: unlike most people that will have the phone with the top leaning back and the bottom leaning to the front I need to lean the top to the front and the bottom to the back just so slightly so the brightness/glow of the screen doesn't look too blurry and I'm able to see things clearly. That is also the same for my laptop screen. Also, using dark mode helps a bit, the regular bright white background makes everything look blurrier. Just experiment with different angles and find the one that makes your eyes less upset with the screen. I hope it helps!

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

That is so pretty! I completely agree that you may customise a pattern however you like. That's the beauty of handmade stuff, right? :) Thank you also for the lesson in shawl "pointiness", it's good to keep it in mind.

[@kellywilkinson292]

I modify pretty much everything I crochet. Crochet lends itself to experimentation, unlike knitting (I’m also a knitter). I like the softer look with a shawl. I put sharp corners on blankets except baby blankets where I only use a chain 1 in the corners.

[@tc5888]

I love your videos! I just watched this today & when you showed the Ethereal Eyelash yarn, I just had to get me some! I went to Hobby lobby right then & the yarn was 30% off, so I was able to get some. Watching your videos gives me courage & confidence to keep crocheting & not to be afraid to make mistakes. Thank you so much!

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

Hello my fellow astigmatism queen 💜 I hope you enjoy your glasses, and that they're comfy. That said, astigmatism is an all-distances thing, I would wear those glasses as much as humanly possible. PS: Sometimes the first frame we pick out isn't exactly comfy, so don't be afraid to try new fames if need be. It's a hidden expense of wearing glasses, sadly.

[@teresa-amberwelch-mcfarlen7644]

I always change up patterns within how it's done (ur chain for example). I love to give my own spark to patterns ^.^

[@miketa87]

Thank you so much for the lesson on the point of shawls. I am not a fan of the 2 chains on shawls and am SO happy to see how the 1 chain or no chain looks!!

[@nlkeyser]

I think the ribbon is supposed to go along the top as a way to tie it closed. I love the colors you chose!

[@melinaalba63]

I love this video so much! It's so fun and joyful and you just do with the pattern what you enjoy! I really like that style 😄 And the way you styled it the first time looks incredibly beautiful!😍

[@Nananors1]

Perfect size for a bed jacket

[@nancyd7339]

Love it! It was so much fun and so many knew patterns I had never seen before. Great! helps me to keep learning. All fun! 😊

[@naowright9308]

I recently found your channel. I may just try one of your patterns someday. If nothing else you keep me inspired to finish some of my working projects.❤

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

33:36 reminds me of old wedding cakes with the delicate piped patterns and festoons

[@sueacord1678]

I am really finding this very interesting and useful. One of the reason I started cricheting this year was a way to explore historic clothing using 18" dolls. I am heading into the 19th period / Victorian period where you begin to see more crochet everything. So looking at the basic ways to create the shape will help me scale it down to doll size.

[@stevejacques6585]

Nice job and thank you for sharing 🙏 I always enjoy your adventures with the past

[@MrsCraftyChris]

I have got the same book.....I am a bit naughty, I always go and look it up before you finish... 😂. I also hate that the book has no pictures. But you are always do a fantastic job interpreting the patterns.

[@michelledecandia]

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and doing these videos! I learned so much from you! I'm more of a knitter than a crocheter, but you inspire me to pick up my hook and take a turn at one of these vintage patterns. ❤

[@jillschimpf1605]

Love your Hobby Lobby haul! I did a HL too today. I got some really pretty variegated yarn, some bee themed ribbon, and bee fabric (for some side crafting). I love this shawl too-- that pink yarn and pink ribbon are just fabulous! I can't wait to see what you use that beaded edging on! Great job Corrina! Love your work! ❤❤❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

That is awesome!

[@audreybaldosser4597]

Dollar general also has readers . I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing

[@ibernevicino286]

I like the chainless point for most of the shawl but I think the shawls should end in the most pointy, straight and sharp angle possible 😂 Gorgeous work as always ❤❤❤

[@anitamoore1763]

I love this!! A simple pattern that's pretty, too!

[@nicola5011]

I have to say I respect your mixing skills for the pattern picking! Also as a CAD/Revit Tech this is fantastic to listen to in the background, your voice so soothing and you sound like your talking with a friend :)

[@minerva5025]

Hi Corinne , you make me laugh so much, you are a bit like me , I mean the same humour. Much love

[@brendacarter1574]

I love the colors you picked! Victorian rose is a favorite of mine. Thank you 😊

[@DLRyoung]

Cute! God bless! Happy birthday

[@lauralincoln2010]

Isn’t that lovely, well done, the ribbon is a nice touch.

[@tonimoore8371]

I like it. Keep utting yourself out there! All of us have started from scratch. ❤

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

I just love the mysterious patterns! I've tried years to shuttle tatting, absolutely NOT. So I researched Needle tatting, big difference, much easier. About the trim, my aunt told me that when edge trim looked 'shaggy or worn' just remove and crochet new trim. I don't know just what I was told ??. ❤

[@2learn4ever]

Gorgeous shawl! Tfs.

[@remedy9648]

So stinking beautiful!

[@FloridasYesteryear]

I am going to have to make this one. I have some beautiful trim that is white with blue flowers. So will try this one out. I think I have some white and blue yarn already.

[@Harkart59]

Turned out So pretty. I love it! Oh my word! You almost have 100,000 subs!!! Yeeeeee!!!!😅

[@justvintagecrochet]

So close!

[@AnnReHome]

LOVE the edgings...the pattern turned out great, the ribbon was perfect!

[@roserenik6375]

Beautiful yarn and great video tutorial. Not a fan of the bows, but like the ribbons. Great job on your part as usual. Love the borders you purchased.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@natasha3518]

Love the edgings you got they are so pretty
