Is This 1849 Mystery Vintage Crochet Pattern Worth Making?

[@kathylecluyse7820]

You have the patience and courage of a saint. I can't tell you how many times I would have thrown the pattern, the work and the yarn (but never the hook!) to the closest wall, and jumped upon it a few times for good measure.

[@melodied4314]

A round of applause to you for working through the instructions. But a standing ovation for the person who created the drawing of the project, especially with 1849 materials.😊

[@debbienewton909]

11 days ago??? Just showed up!! Watching now!!

[@jassconrad]

It just appeared on my feed too. Beautiful because of the professional guess work 😂. Good job 👍

[@marionbartley214]

Oh dear sweet Corrina, You gave it your very best. If I had the eyesight and your talent. I would have gave up a long time before the time you did. I think it still looks delightful. And I'm looking forward to your next video. Don't beat yourself up so much you do a great job. 👍♥️

[@wickidgemini-1]

Am I the only one waiting anxiously for part 2. I am vested now. Lol. I can not wait to see it finished.

[@justdeb6091]

Not disappointed at all. Your patience and perseverance are admirable.

[@valeriegipe8695]

I agree. She did wonderfully!💙 ..I may, or more likely may not, have an explanation as to why it went, lol, I love when she says "wonky" (??) I'm just wondering if, since we weren't certain of the thread and needle sizes, that is the ONLY reason for wonky-ness? Is it? Lol I'm "novical"

[@ellbow7287]

Fail of written pattern. You did well with your interpretation. Looking forward to take two.😊

[@emclinton]

I watched this video 2 weeks ago, and then today I wondered why you posted it again. Now I understand.

[@micheleb3881]

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're going to remake it! It's so pretty 😃. If I could crochet that small I would try it. Thank you for your videos!

[@wordsdisney6269]

Great job! For the 7 chain row, the explanation of stitches says attach with a plain stitch to every third stitch. Hope you saw that later. Also the edges are only half tye number of long stitches for the diamonds, not full counts on the sides. Wow, that was a great try though. Bravo!

[@mariankay6482]

Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug. You did O K!❤️

[@anitamoore1763]

So I would not consider this a fail. Given the rather sketchy instructions, I think you did a wonderful job!! I'm glad you got the picture...it makes sense out of nonsense!! I'm looking forward to the reveal!

[@MamaMonsterPride]

I haven’t finished the video, but this is gorgeous ❤ whatever it is 😂 Look forward to the reading the picture attempt.

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

This still looks really good! I could definitely see what you made be turned into a cuff, with the wider side expanded into a frill 💜

[@racinewithlotsoftips2518]

Thank you for sharing, and this is so beautiful

[@angiesmith3269]

Not disappointed at all!

[@chriscavy]

Ohhh this is delicate and beautiful, I love it

[@kimberlyrivard6945]

Job well done.

[@debbienewton909]

You did great!!! Pattern screwy!!

[@novamcclung5382]

I have learned so much from you, I really love this channel

[@LadyValkyri]

I applaud you, yes I do! Yes, ma'am! Clap Clap Clap!!! Hugs

[@amethystanne4586]

I am here to check out this weirdly-posted video, after watching the on-purpose posted video for today. In the original picture, the finished doily has interesting details.

[@teresaburkedukes1165]

I just got it today also

[@crossfittxms1]

Same

[@crowznest438]

Really hard to recreate one of these old, unedited patterns without a picture. For instance, the "open crochet" would have been easy to decipher with the illustration. Well done though, and it's very pretty.

[@TheSassy1962]

This is so pretty, I am so glad you are going to redo it! Will you write down what the correct pattern is?

[@jillschimpf1605]

So I watched this video today since there was a glitch in the matrix.😂😂😂 Here's your "comments" from me so that you get your traffic needed for videos. But I watched this same video, differently titled "Not One But Two Mystery Patterns" yesterday.😊😊😊 Anyhoo, it is a "tutorial so nice, I can watch it twice"😉😘🥰😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thanks for that!

[@anitapaulsen3282]

Yes, I can see how the pattern has skipped some rows and made some counting errors. You were right to check the picture. There are diamond shapes in the picture with the pattern not allowing for that as written. You interpret these patterns so well. I can see how this could be made just by the picture. Very detailed. Pretty pattern.

[@rynnlemieux5339]

Have you tried those plastic finger pads protection? They are the size of your finger pad, it won't protect your finger the way a thimble will, but it will cover your owie from the full power of you hook.

[@ILostCountAgain]

Well, make it in a sock weight and you could have a doily...using the picture to help! It's really cute.

[@teresaburkedukes1165]

That's my go to steel hook boye 7 1.65mm. I do a lot of doilies #10 yarn

[@Psycho_Saeko]

I don’t understand why I’m only seeing this video now and it says it was uploaded 11 days ago, and only 65 views and no comments?? Twilight zone? Anyway, halfway through, yeah terrible instructions. I mean after the ‘7 chain’ row they really needed a ‘correcting’ row after those to get you back to a straight edge and correct stitch count. I mean you did seven chains, skipped 5, and counted the slip stitches in the next row so naturally you have a lot more stitches that you are working your next row into…. Hence a correcting row (say for example ch5, sl st into centre chain of previous) would have fixed all that. Also the last row of the first section of diamonds when it asks you to do 5 long at the start when there were 3 in the previous row below, doesn’t quite work the same on the edge; you have 5 so one hangs over either side but on the edge you only have one side to hang over, this needing four there at the start not 5… that would have contributed to the chain seeming too long like you mentioned. Hoping for a thicker yarn for you next time - give your poor finger a break! lol Thankyou for your vids, I hang out for them x

[@rynnlemieux5339]

I just got it today, too.

[@Aegopodium]

It only showed up for me today. This is so weird...

[@anitapaulsen3282]

Same, this only came up in my feed today.

[@mooneesunee2682]

Same here

[@jessie8304]

Same for me 🥺

[@erikagholston6610]

You have a lot of patience.

[@bettablue2660]

Maybe see if you can find an antique crochet diagram to teach everyone. Especially a filet pattern like this.

[@silviacalderon6764]

Hecha le ganas me gustan tus videos saludos

[@novamcclung5382]

You might use a bit of liquid bandaid to protect your finger. It shouldn't be a bother when crocheting.

[@Zed-y7h]

Can you show us how to crochet from a drawing type patterns?

[@jantie11]

Corina, what do they call the plastic stick you are using to keep track of your rows please

[@mariebray9831]

Is it possible that you could change the angle of you hook so you are sliding over the top of your finger instead of into it? I hate to see a sore finger.

[@Magic_Miss_Crochet]

Never worry about breaking your own rules please! Especially if you are working on a project that you would actually like to see the finished project for.

[@angeliquemcniff3076]

Why did nobody see this until now? Strange!!

[@LyraStitchery]

I am wondering if the ladies in 1849 looked at the photo, then looked at the directions and said nope let's just follow the picture. I think sometimes we think that mistakes don't happen in vintage patterns.

[@Silligoose501]

Don't know how you do this and don't go crazy on us. 😂

[@ladykingcole3742]

They're your rules break em!

[@squeekee35]

I see you use your tape measure a lot. Did you know they have led in them? They make these pink ones that don't.

[@janicescherwitz7885]

May I suggest you crochet yourself a finger guard? 😁

[@annazandvliet5879]

Why do you sting in your finger? I never do that when I crochet ..try to do not sting yourself. Feel so sorry for you ❤

[@onyxxxyno]

you could try a piece of stick on moleskin like the kind you use on fee to prevent blisters from shoes, cut a little piece just where the hook is pressing into your finger.
