Let’s face it. Housewives of the 1890s who could read probably took a few creative liberties themselves. The important thing is sticking as close as reasonably possible to the original intent of the design. I mean come on, are we going to apply leeches to treat fever or simply pop a Tylenol.

[@laurelcausey]

There was so much assumed knowledge in most of these patterns that I think the others who made this ABSOLUTELY would have used a stacked single if it were common practice. Why not learn from the years of experience of others?

My grandmother could read, but until she had mastered reading, she was shown stitches as a child and encouraged to make useful items for sale. She crocheted fine work... Irish crochet. Mainly collars, cuffs, gloves, trimming for bed linen, towels, tablecloths napkins handkerchiefs etc.. Very fine crochet hooks, leather protector for index finger re fine thread and sharp small hooks. Many of her stitches patterns etc were committed to memory, she could read a little but if you gave her a sample or piece of work... She could read the sample and reproduce or even repair the item. She also did this with knitting. My mum encouraged her to tell how she did a pattern and mum recorded it. I have samples of her borders, open work, motifs etc.... Even a some knitting. The baby shawl Christine pattern is fantastic. 1 ply, cast on one and at each row make one at the beginning when you get to the req. No of stitches you start to decrease in the same manner... You have a garter stitch 'diamond... The rest consists simply of picking up stitches on a side, couple of foundation rows, a row of holes for a ribbon if desired then feather and fan stich which you are supposed to know how it's done... Sew up, work a 16 stitch border around the outside....

I was thrilled when you said you were going to do it the way you thought was best. We are watching to see how you cope with the mystery pattern and how you deal with the confusion. One day the pedantic few will be able to watch an AI robot do the pattern and they will be happy. Until then I suggest they stop watching and/or commenting. The rest of us will enjoy the offering as it is.

[@ReginaCoeliJMJ]

I'm grateful for this channel... especially since there's no music. I enjoy listening to you, music isn't necessary 😊... you are the reason I'm here! Also, it's your channel you do you. Others matter to you to grow your channel, but you'll grow without those that fight you or with them fighting all the way. You are talented 😁

[@arelishester9575]

Corinna, I am so glad that you exercised your freedom to do your preferred modifications to the pattern. I’m all for that!

[@amethystanne4586]

1890 was a good year. My Gramma was born that year. She showed me how to do a yarn over, and answered any question I had about crochet. While working on the first project, I sat on the G’ma & G’pa’s back porch bench.

[@Teerae11]

I love stacked single stitches instead of Chains , looks cleaner and Joines better , I don't chain 3 anymore at all , this is beautiful !! Especially the Border , can b used on so many projects !! ❤ It !! Thank You so much for another great video 📷📷 !!

[@christinedurant4400]

You know, crochet has come a long way from the 1800's. You have learned what looks better from your own personal experiences. I think we all benefit from your knowledge. I cannot follow a pattern, hardly ever, and I'm learning from you. Thank you!

[@Toni-islandlife]

It’s so much prettier in thinner yarn. The details stand out.

[@jillschimpf1605]

***Applause*** ***Applause*** ***Applause*** Way to go!!! I'm sooooo glad you stuck to your guns and did the stacked singles!! YOU ROCK!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@jibjab7207]

More power to you! You stitch your stitches the way you want to!

[@michezkr]

i think whenever i don’t know what movie to watch, i‘ll just come here to watch these videos of yours haha

[@ParkAvenue34]

*)*Monarch Andalusian* (1930s) was a soft wool yarn. It was 4-ply and sold in 1 oz balls (1934). It was suitable for Infant and childrens garments, including carriage covers. Correct weight for Pullovers, Ladies Hats, Scarves and Berets.

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

Yeah!! Kept telling my screen please do you! Enjoy the process! If someone anyone wants to be a stickler for perfection on following the pattern, they should consider starting their own channel. Yes the channel is ‘just vintage crochet’, but we should also give you grace as to run your channel. At least I don’t know what all goes into doing this but it is more than I think… I am here to join you in this exploration of vintage patterns. I want you to enjoy as much as I do! Please keep been you! Adjust as much of the patterns as you feel you need to ;)

[@plinkiplonk]

Haven't finished watching yet, so you might still get it yourself, too, but the reason they are starting each round between the first and second Treble is that they do not count the starting chain as a real treble, so the centre of the cluster is actually between the first and second true treble stitch; hope that makes sense...

[@sidmelucci3675]

That's what I was thinking. The pattern instructions could have been more clear though. (A comment that applies to a _lot_ of these vintage patterns!)

[@susanrussell8195]

That is the perfect explanation. I thought they wanted you to turn your work so you were at a corner.

[@cheskydivision]

Every person that uses a pattern makes changes to make the process and project better even back in the day. Some comments need to be ignored. ❤

[@sidmelucci3675]

That's a very nifty variation on our granny stitch. And the border is extremely elegant.

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Corinna, this shawl is exactly what I have been looking for. It is a tighter stitch than some of the others. Well done. 💕🇨🇦

[@paulaortega3756]

I like hearing how you puzzle the directions, question, then redirect yourself to get back on track. This helps me, as a beginner, to slow down, and break down the directions into meaningful steps.

[@txnightowl73]

I think they said between first and second long trebles because they are not considering the starting chain to be a long treble. So that would indeed put you starting in the center of the group. Pronunciation of Andalusian: and illusion I absolutely love your channel! I have to admit I am one of those people that yells at the screen translating the pattern into modern terms; not that anyone but my cats hear me. LOL. It doesn’t matter if it’s a tutorial or a mystery pattern, I watch all your videos! I even love the flipping-n-picking videos. And when it comes to putting your preferred methods into the patterns, you do you! If you want to work a stacked single, do it. Thank you for introducing me to vintage patterns.

[@audreydeneui192]

Whee! I love this! As I understand it, at the beginning of round 2, the pattern is not naming that beginning chain up as a treble (because you are chaining), therefore, it says "...first and second trebles..." when it means to put the group of 4 in the middle (between the second and third trebles). You correctly placed this shell in the middle, i.e. between the "second" and third. This obviously predates the familiar, conventional obligatory phrases, "...chain x number of chains..." followed by "...chain group counts as first whatever stitch in this and all following rows..." or words to that effect. Thank you so much!

[@Piecemaker1623]

Thought it would make a nice baby blanket.

[@kathylecluyse7820]

I'd totally wear such a shawl! The yarn, the pattern, the border, your quite reasonable adaptations - it's perfect!

[@lorriewhite7886]

Beautiful! Good on you for those stacked singles!

[@Jendarhan64]

Oh my gosh, I love this one! I like your stacked singles, it does look tidier for sure. So many shawl patterns, which one should I make? 😯 Corinna, I will definitely be joining your new channel! I like you and I want to hang out with you, sounds like a blast! 😁

[@walterwhite5100]

Thank you for a great tutorial this was a blast to make I'm definitely making this one again. I used caron cotton funnel cakes and a 5mm hook has a nice drape and so soft.

[@susanrussell8195]

Good for you using stacked singles. If the original pattern writers had known this technique, I’m sure it would have been incorporated.

[@darpanabai3967]

I'm addicted. I've never seen this type of crochet content on YT, and I love it! I'm on my third video of yours today!

[@dangray]

Always a pleasure to watch, thanks.

[@susananderson3478]

Well done Corinna yours look great ❤please don’t let haters get to you! You do you ! ❤❤❤❤

[@naomis2]

OmG I’m definitely getting this pattern. ❤ Thanks for making it available!

[@karenashworth5743]

When I was 16 years old, my mum picked up an extremely rare virus which left her paralysed in her right arm. Long story short part of her rehabilitation was learning to crochet. The first thing she made was a shawl for 52:45 to wear with the dress I had made to wear to a party. I still have it 40 years later , it hasn't been worn for a long time but I will never part with it x

[@Gottahandle]

Very touching thanks for sharing your memories bless your heart

[@k_pufflz]

7:15 I believe the pattern was saying the first true treble and second treble (where you placed it) vs between the chain and the first treble stitch! That’s how I interpreted it Also love you working this how you want to! We know the people 133 years ago were doing their favorite methods and shortcuts going off pattern so why can’t you

[@DaleTruman-u3u]

Gonna make this in #10 thread for a table cover. Large enought for my round coffee table. Beautiful work!!

[@erikagholston6610]

Thank you for staying to true yourself.

[@brendacarter1574]

I love this shawl pattern! You did such a wonderful job! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@donnasqueaky2]

Glad you did another crochet video! I missed you! 😊

[@maryb6872]

The shawl is very pretty and delicate. It's interesting that the shawls were made in a square and then folded into a rectangle, rather than working from one corner up. I guess those two layers of work were warmer to wear. 🙂

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

It is gorgeous. What a beautiful shawl. Thanks again for all your great videos.

[@brookerdoll]

I love this pattern! But instead of a shawl, I'm picturing a blanket. ❤

[@sapphireblu76]

It still turned out really pretty!

[@Diazarys]

So pretty, adding it to my ever growing list of inspo i get from your channel so far, I've made the snood and the opera bag. Thank you for all the videos.

[@msstaceyf]

Don’t listen to the haters. I would probably do a stacked stitch to start as I don’t like starting with a long chain, either. You do beautiful work ❤️🧶

[@PaulaJonesy]

I love these videos! She is the Miss Marple of crochet! ❤😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤

[@Brinalea1031]

Oh Mylanta! Vintage crochet patterns and knit patterns are so confusing. You are awesome for trying to figure them out.

[@Troutay]

Yay! I needed this today!

[@marilynpowers3444]

Just listened to this video on my 1 hour commute home this evening. It was snowing really bad and the fastest I could go was 30 mph! Visibly would drop to less than 20 feet😱. Your calm voice kept me calm and focused!! Thanks So Much❣️❣️🤗

[@justvintagecrochet]

That's amazing! I'm glad my voice could help you stay calm in such a situation!

[@devils.advocate2354]

17:52 🐾🧡 hello and belly scratches back at you Merlin. Beautiful shawl. Definitely will try with larger hook and yarn.

[@fieldhouse2162]

Way to go, Corinna! Keep those mystery patterns coming, I really enjoy watching them unfold as you follow the hard to understand directions! Also, please thank your son for all of his hard work that allows us to have so much fun! 😊❤ Jesus loves you ❤ Helen

[@palomamiyaya]

As a self taught crocheter that i have been since i was a child ( 63 years old now), and i could never understand those crochet patterns, now that I saw your channel and see how you read the old patterns and try to understand them I now Am open maybe to try to do something following one simple pattern. Maybe. I am a free spirit and do my own things so it is going to be hard for me to stick to do something different. Also my mother tongue is Spanish, so is a challenge. You explain so well and you are so easy to understand , thanks.

[@pinkrubix]

I like when you go off script a bit because I learn new stitches when you do that, or new ways of doing otherwise pretty basic stitches. I don't really know why people would be mad about it, though. They could just make one themselves, following along with you. You're always pretty clear about when you're doing something different from what the pattern actually calls for and telling us what it is the pattern originally wanted you to do. In fact, that would be really fun to compare your version to the viewers' versions, especially those who didn't make any alterations to the pattern. 9.5/10 times, I bet they're so similar that someone just looking wouldn't be able to tell them apart anyway unless it was something like a color choice that was the only deviation from the pattern.

[@delladearest2511]

I like this pattern, great job❣️🥰😻

[@lindapost3954]

Both are very pretty Well done.. Thanks for the video.

[@Summerrainfalling]

Hell yes Corinna, we love to see you do what you want! 😍I don't understand these "omg you went off pattern" people at all. I think they need to touch grass. 🤷

[@PA_Dutch_Ivy]

I give little blankets/sample-sized stuff to my doggie. I cover him up on the couch when he is sleeping and then put them up when he’s not napping so he can’t chew them. It’s never fun when the strings come out the other end. 😂

[@maryannraley]

I think it says "between the first and second" treble stitches because the first "stitch" of the group is your starting chain (or stacked stitches - stick to your guns, girl!). That way "between the first and second" is actually in the middle of the group. This is a gorgeous pattern!

[@fawneoconnor6894]

Don't get mad, but I'm working on granny squares while listening to you. I am trying to finish some blankets for some the family members who didn't get any last year.

[@avg4015]

Every crochet person with some experience will develop a personal style. That doesn't take anything away from the mystery pattern as a whole. So just use your style and let the few negative voices yell in the void. 😉

[@Gottahandle]

Really love those stacked singles never like the look of all those ch stitches

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

32:29 the repeat starts with the 4 chain and dc, so all but the last long treble should have a picot, for a total of 5 picots. 42:42 with 5 picots you would be able to do it 4 times

[@brendawitters421]

Did you notice that you said shawl when doing the first round of the boarder....haha oopps someone forgot that word.... Love it.

[@Ebostic711]

I can't thank you enough for doing these!!!❤❤❤❤

[@LaurieMcKee-pc7pc]

Yeah! Anew mystery!

[@helenroberts5012]

Loving the stacked dc

[@conniearancivia7599]

What a beautiful shawl. The blue one looks like it would be so cozy to lounge in.

[@DLRyoung]

Beautiful! Don’t let others get you down! I love this stuff and you go girl! God bless

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

It came out very pretty!

[@madewithloveandfibres1816]

Oh this is lovely. I wasn't totally sold on this stitch for a shawl initially but when I saw your fluffy brushed version, it won me over completely. I love the other one now it has the edging too!

[@tinamarinelli4325]

I prefer your edge looks so pretty

[@jenreeves7684]

This is so pretty. Great job 😊

[@roxann_bam]

So pretty! I've been looking for a new border for a baby blanket I'm working. This one will be perfect. Thank you.

[@stevejacques6585]

Nice very nice love the bordering thanks for sharing 😊❤

[@txnightowl73]

I was watching this video again and thought to myself “is this book really that expensive?” So I googled it just now and found it on eBay for way less than what you said. After tax and shipping, it was just under $60. Needless to say I’ll have my own copy of this book before the week is over!

[@eileenlynch6896]

What a beautiful border ❤

[@carriematynka4942]

This is just absolutely beautiful!!!

[@chriscavy]

Very cute! And I love that yarn

[@susanfrederick33]

Love this one Corrina ❤❤❤🇦🇺

[@RJ-cy7kn]

Merlin always startles me lol

[@debbienewton909]

That's beautiful!! Great job!!

[@monicabaker5456]

So pretty!!❤❤

[@micheleb3881]

Did anyone else catch that the sides are supposed to be double crochet and just the corner stitches are trebles? I think that would help if he a little more square. But no bother! It turned out beautiful as always!!

[@debbienewton909]

That's what I was wondering when the pattern said treble and then long treble.

[@sidmelucci3675]

I was wondering about that myself. But I couldn't read the instructions on my phone. I think I'll mosey on over to Corinna's Etsy shop and pick up the pattern.

[@leereadman9069]

thats beautiful thankyou

[@kimwallace5729]

I am fairly new here and love these antique patterns you try out. I want to make some around 1880s doily pattern for the top of my 1880s drawers and You have inspired me to try a doily patterh I found from the mid 1800s. it is a tad confusing but fun. I have a quick question what is this mysterious book that people are selling for such an high price? I felt some of my Scottish ancestry jumped in shock at those prices you mentioned.

[@kayceegreer4418]

Fantastic

[@natc7724]

28:30 “corner of the shawl” lol

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

17:00 what they are saying is that the 5 chain counts as the first long treble of the group. They are not saying that the slip stitch counts as 1 of the 5 chain

[@roserenik6375]

It is beautiful love this tutorial, maby will make this.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@shebangsdrums5601]

Just found your channel. Love it! I'm after binge watching 4 of them already this morning 🙈 Do you have an Instagram page? I can't seem to find it

[@crazyjchapstar]

I love these videos. But can I ask what happened to your destashing video? I was in the middle of watching it and was gonna come back to it and now I can't find it!

[@codenameg-fox2251]

wonderful hearing you make the pattern the way you want to! I wonder if round 3 was supposed to start with turning your work and going back into the corner you had just finished? edit: or they just missed the slip over instructions in that row! at least the repeat had them :)

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

The first words of the 3rd round are to slip over the first treble, in other words, you would have ended the previous round by joining into the top of your 5 chain, then slip stitch over the treble, putting you in the middle of the group.

[@maryshayka3511]

I watch this whole video and would like to know how can a square be a shawl I been crocheting over 30 yesrs

[@justvintagecrochet]

as I show at the end , you fold it, hold it in a diamond shape and fold it , it creates a triangle

[@Gottahandle]

I have a question you may possibly not see this but I’m just so curious about this stitch the stem stitch well I can’t find it anywhere not that I need a tutorial , other projects using it was more my idea but can’t seem to find any w/ that name is there another stitch name it may be known as any ideas will be appreciated thanks all.

[@nanceewenning1727]

If you turned your work would you br in the corner?

[@jaynnnewell4722]

I think one thing confusing you if that you’re counting your chain/stacked singles as a treble and the pattern isn’t. So it says to slip past the first treble, which puts you in the middle of that group of four because the first “stitch” isn’t a stitch, it’s a chain. You’re counting that first group as 1-2-3-4 trebles, but it’s actually 0-1-2-3 the way the pattern is referring to it.

[@GodsOath_com]

Is there a name for this yarn?

[@beccasmama63]

LOL I guess you didn't realize you read "corner of the shawl" in the directions for the border earlier too. LOL

[@michellenash6802]

Hey Corinne you didn’t link your other channel, like you mentioned...just FYI

I hear your secretary is back for the summer 😂😂😂😂

[@naomis2]

(I had previously mentioned the sound of your AC sounds like someone on a typewriter)😂

[@lindasilva1256]

I don't think you realize that on that first row at the beginning of one set of four treble that you only wrap the yarn around your needle once on the first two trebles

[@nancygrover8959]

There are no crochet po!ice, and as far as I know, you can do it however you want 🤔😄.
