I haven't actually gotten through the whole video yet, but with the fold over part of the cowl, I wonder if doing that with 1 strand would make it easier to fold over? And then maybe secure the folded over part to the main body of the cowl to eliminate having to fight to keep it folded, otherwise?

[@rosem5044]

If you weigh the skeins before you start and again after you’re finished, you can use math to figure out approx what percentage of the skein you used (if it weighs 40% less, you’ve used 40% of the yards on the skein).

[@rhondalea4450]

My project list is getting VERY large. ❤ You're going to keep me going through until the spring!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Love that!

[@charlyshay1013]

Very cozy! Thank you very much for modeling your finished project. Most people don't and I find that very disappointing.

[@user-sj2hp1wt8b]

I grew up in the 60's. I think the single crotchets instead of the slip stitches are supposed to kinda look like a braid, which was a huge fashion statement in the latter 60's and early 70's. Even another row of single crotchets would give an added 1960 /1970 look. Pattern is accurate for time period

[@Raven24444]

I've been following KZbin tutorials for crocheting for a while now and you are one the best teachers. Thank you so much for your clear close up explanations of how to crochet. I also like how you work through changes that you want to make and explain your thought processes along the way.

[@misss.o.j.]

I love it!!!!!❤❤❤❤It's vintage but super-wearable and the puffs are really adorable!!!❤❤❤

[@shannonvickers145]

I was a teen in the 60’s. I think this was late 60’s but I may not be remembering it right. During that time I made a skirt, a shawl and hat. It was a lavender color with black trim on shawl and hat. The hat was similar to a beret it had black rosette on one side which had jet button in center. I wore a black turtlenecked long sleeve leotard and tights under it. Also Knee high black chunky heeled boots. It was fun to wear and dance in. Keep making the mystery patterns. Great fun.

[@roserenik6375]

You are beautiful with out your makeup. The set looks beautiful on you.

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@karentzn]

Just watched the Grandprix and Max from Red Bull won. Even better you have made a new tutorial. Yegh. Thanks

[@joanneentwistle7653]

I agree with you about changing the cowl. I live in Canada, and honestly this cowl would be warm enough up here without the foldover.

[@lalanasouth4050]

I believe I will make this for my sister in Virginia for Christmas. Lol. Bad part is I have 4 other sisters that will want something but won’t wear a hat like this.🙃

[@lloydandjudygmail]

Hi Corrina and everyone, I am in the process of making the 1960s French cap and collar. I'm at the point in the collar-cowel where the short sides need to be made even with the the bobble section. I'm not really sure how to do that. I have it written out so I don't have to keep rewinding the video. But still by reading it I'm not sure what to do. I didn't make it in the round, I made it in 1 flat piece so that you button it up. If anyone has made it that way or can help me finish it up on the side I would be so grateful. It's a gift for my daughter in law ❤ thank you so much. I love watching your channel and your tutorials Corrina. I have made you 1970 poncho and it turned out fantastic, I think lol ❤

[@Summerrainfalling]

Right before you decided to use one strand for the border, I was thinking that's what it looked like on the pattern. Great minds 🤓

[@EvilRumina]

I love the hat! It reminds me of something my grandmother used to wear. It was brown, and kinda fuzzy, like it had mohair in it. I am deffenetly going to crochet one for myself! ❤

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

I like your interpretation of the border. It does look more streamlined "your" way. I agree that it looked too puffy the way it was instructed.

[@paperbeadmagic]

I think it looks gorgeous on you. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials of vintage crocheted designs. I myself don't read pattern design. But the visual you give means that I will be able to make this too! 🤗❤️

[@christinebarker9361]

I like a collar more than a scarf. I'll be using my scrap yarn up on this I think. x

[@emmaleethompson7964]

Love the hat, classic!

[@Teerae11]

I like your choice of the edge on hat and taking out the straight rows on the cowl looks better ,i think u did amazing !! ❤ Thank You !!!

[@jenreeves7684]

Great job! That is a lot of bobbles. 😊

[@AngelReneeToday]

Super cute. Yes the cowl for me would need to be larger

[@frozenstone1787]

I like the changes you made 😊❤

[@LadyValkyri]

As for printing, try doing that second page in landscape orientation, instead of portrait. Then you may be able to get it a little bit bigger without it running off the margins. Really pretty, Corinna! Thank you for another lovely pattern! Hugs

[@paulakoncki4029]

Aaah! dear so sorry to hear! I have a dear friend Estè and she lost her hair also in her twenties and actually she looked so cool, she also kept her hair short by shaving it, she made herself gorgeous big dangling earrings and it became a fashion trend! Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern and your story with us!! Big hugs!! 🥰🧶🌞🪷

[@staylor5687]

I really love it. But for me, I would make the cowl a little tighter. Living up by the Canadian border, that cowl the way it fits on you would be extremely inadequate. Perhaps the part that you didn't like on the pattern is what keeps this cowl closer to the neck. In fact, up here I make my cowls extra long too so that they bunch up nice and fluffy on my neck. Air gaps up here in -40 F weather is very uncomfortable. And if the wind is blowing, I can pull the cowl up over my lower face and keep my face warm too! Its a beautiful pattern though and I just might have to make me a set!

[@therealnancycarol]

That is beautiful on you! 💕💕💕

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you!!

[@roxanamcglinchey6613]

Its a lovely set. I get excited every time I see a new video from you Corinna. However, I hope your not doing too much hunni.. ❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

😊 thank you

[@Onesillycat]

I love it! Looks great on you too!

[@MariaMartins-px3ec]

you can calculate the amount of yarn used by the weight of the final piece 😉

[@ShainaMakesStuff]

Know your starting weight of yarn & starting yards that you have: Multiply (starting yards) by (weight of finished project) Then divide that # by (starting weight of yarn) You will be left with the yards you used for your project 😊 Using #: Start: 6oz/ 315yards End: 3.5oz 315*3.5=1102.5 1102.5/6=183.75 yards used for the project

[@acolley2891]

I like it alot. Good job.

[@devils.advocate2354]

Yes ma’am 🔥 I can’t state how much I appreciated this video: Off road and in the buff 🧡 you look great in the hat and cowl. Probably not an AZ outfit but you never know. Love the hat. Now I do utilize cowls especially running my rabbit beagles early in the morning. Winter here before you know it and Farmers Almanac predictions for long cold one. So I REALLY Appreciate you “going off road” and reworking pattern to smarter not harder version. I will be making one with the added rows for warmth. Merlin thought you did excellent work and looked fabulous. Thank you😊

[@lorriewhite7886]

I didn’t think I would like it but I LOVE it! It would work perfect in our cold weather here!

[@merrymuriel]

wow so nice thanks for sharing 😍❤

[@savinginnyc4765]

Beautiful ❤

[@lmmiskeify]

I am with you... The hat was just worked in the round, makes more sense to also work the collar in the round. Too much trouble to do it the other way. 😊

[@AmoCultumAlo]

It looks wonderful! It suits you very well too! I'm not generally a hat wearer except for utility's sake to keep my head from freezing in the snowy winters, but this looks like it would be pretty warm with some nice ventilation on days when it's cold enough for a hat but too warm for a full-coverage hat. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh thank you!

[@tinabarwick4143]

You look so cute in this. Interesting pattern adjustments, made it perfect for you. Love how you share the thoughts that go into making your items. Best Wishes and thanks for sharing x

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@vbecha]

Just love it! So nice and elegant ❣

[@JillyMae89]

I laughed at your superachiever comment bc I picked up the magic circle on my first try and didn't find out til way later how common it is for people to struggle with them. So I had no idea I was "superachieving" when I did it 😂 (also, I'm not bragging, there's plenty I struggle with with crochet - a magic circle just isn't one of them lol)

[@marilyngrayCraftandcrotchet]

Gorgeous ❤

[@IsMe2.0]

This pattern to me is the epitome of 1960s sophistication. You could imagine somebody like Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn sporting this whilst drinking coffee after skiing on the Alps 😊😊, i love it 🥰🥰🥰

[@justvintagecrochet]

I totally agree!

[@rosemarycreollo4326]

So unique and pretty! They look great on you! Love the soft texture of all of those puff stitches! You did an awesome job customizing the patterns to your tastes. Thank you for sharing another excellent tutorial with us!

It's so gorgeous and easy to make. I bet it would be pretty to use one white, one color strand too!😮😊 maybe one piece of yarn for the border??😊 😅 you got it!!❤

[@debbieward9732]

So good!

[@kyjennifer]

It's so lovely! The entire time you were trying to figure out how to do the edge of the hat, I was saying to the tv, "drop to one strand!" hahaha. Great minds think alike. If I do this project and do make buttons, I think it would be nice to use a different color yarn for them, so they stand out better. I agree that doubling up the cowl seems excessive and like your solution. Also, I have to tell you, your face is so pretty. You don't ever need to feel uncomfortable about not wearing makeup!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Oh thank you!

[@annseigman1824]

Adorable! 😍

[@aidakhatibi7141]

Very cool!!

[@leereadman9069]

[@user-zm9cb7zr3i]

I love it. I had a hat my mom made very similar to this. I wonder if this is it! I must make this.😊

[@dianavoermans]

I had one like that in dark brown!!! My mum crocheted it for me. She is 87 years old now and I am 60😂 Mine must have been from around the early 70´s. I looooooved that cap! In the Netherlands we had proper winters back then 😉 and I wore it lots!

[@gekebosselaar7417]

Looks great!

[@ILostCountAgain]

Ooh, maybe this ensemble is what I'll make for my sister-in-law for Christmas. Emerald green, I'm thinking.

[@SunnyOutlook]

Love it!

[@Lisa-dn2gx]

I love the final product, just lovely & I absolutely agree with your "modifications" including size of collar. I love your channel, all of the vintage patterns!! I have yet to watch all of your videos & wondering if you've done or planning to do a crochet dress that were popular in the 60's & 70's???? Or even shorts, skirt & a top? Since these things & style is becoming popular again, if you haven't done any of them yet, will you please??? I hope you & your family have a Merry Christmas & a blessed New Year!!!

[@lalanasouth4050]

My sisters live where it is cold. I will be making this for them and for their little girls that headband from your other channel. Thank you so much for your inspiration!

[@adamuffoletto7869]

This was a great stash buster project for me! Thanks for the awesome tutorial, Corinna!

[@SHIRLEYDURHAM]

Love it❤

[@poples5799]

it looks amazing! I do live in a colder climate, so I'll definitely make this one for both myself and my mom (and maybe some others too haha)

[@MariaMartins-px3ec]

For the base of the cowl you can pick only the inner loop of the half double (yo, loop, 3tog) instead. It will be not so bulky

[@Troutay]

Love this!! Will save this tutorial for winter in Minnesota

[@thriftycharmscrochet]

Editing to say the 8mm hook worked perfectly. I finished the hat part and decided to not put a border around the bottom. I am working on the cowl tomorrow. ☺️ I tried the 9MM hook and it left huge gaps in the work. I am going to try with an 8mm and see if it’s any better. I love this pattern. I hope I can get it figured out before we go to a Christmas event next week.

[@DelusionalUnicorn]

Always so excited to see you post! This has become my favorite crochet channel! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing this pattern. We live in Southern Arizona and don't need heavy duty cold weather items often. My DD has morning playground duty and this will be lovely for her this winter. I made the cowl/collar in her school colors and she loves it. Really, thank you for all the lovely patterns.

[@veroniqueparadis5924]

Hi, just wanted to say I made one, it is really fast to make and I am a baby crocheyer... As a french person I feel the 1930 influences on this pattern... It is also to note that the puffs gives so mutch structure and substance to an easy to make beginner level item.I used the same brand yarn as in this video red heart worsted weight ...but I used a grey and a purple strand and I suggest you try it it give a uniform two tone varigated feel.

[@veroniqueparadis5924]

It gives 60ies Mod style and 30ies Charleston/flapper Girl

[@gailcarter7078]

Weigh the unused yarn on kitchen scales. Weigh the finished item but don't stress if the two weighs aren't exact. I don't know where the difference goes I just shrug and carry on ❤

[@deborahberkey4294]

Love it. Looks sharp.

[@Pammy_Yolo]

Gorgeous set! ❤

[@mlboone3028]

Use a scale weight the yarn , use it then weight it to see how much you used

[@greenfaerie61537]

This is gorgeous! 😍 perfect to make for my daughter, lives in Alaska. I've got 2 full skeins of Red Heart with love left over from the juliet dress project to use up, yay!

[@daisygirl9914]

Cool beans. I think I would rather the cowl/collar buttoned up for me. I also subscribed to your other channel, Its Not Knit. Oh my cheesy biscuits! My project list is never going to be finished. lol

[@justvintagecrochet]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kellydesilva6733]

With the cowl how about you work the plain stitch area with one strand as it would fold in easier. Then add in a second strand when you start the puff stitch rows. You would have the original pattern without the bulk on the fold in portion.
