Did I Nail This 1951 Mystery Vintage Crochet Pattern?

[@Fluttermoth]

Bless your son for being the unsung hero of your videos, I hope he knows how much he means to all us mystery crochet addicts! Excited for the vintage bowl to make its appearance (I don't get out much 🤣 ) P.S; I'm only on that 'packing' row, but it's making me think of the toilet roll cover my grandma had; like a doll with a crinoline type dress? Anyone else remember those?

[@jeanene4498]

My grandmother had one as well ❤

[@AnitaOsborne-xe3hh]

Yes I remember those and the holders

[@ann-mariemeyers9978]

Old Mrs. Roegge across the street used to crochet those!

[@BarbaracBlevins]

@@ann-mariemeyers9978 yes. And the dish soap bottle clothes. What fun there was in those rooms when you needed them.

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

I remember so many crocheted toilet, kleenex box, towels holder and covers. Including rugs and matching toilet seat and tank cover.....all changed with the holiday.

[@zanedobler]

Now I gotta figure out how to scale this up so that I can wear it

[@AllezVous222]

Once you have, please, please, please come back to tell me how you figured it out. Thank you! 😭😭😭

[@Snek_Go_Boop]

I think if you just scale up the yarn, add more of the repeats the pattern has throughout, plus adding more rows of each of the repeat, you should be able to recreate this! It will probably take some math and working it to your size, but I think it’s very doable! Obviously, I don’t think it’d look the exact same when done like this due to it having different proportions of the stitch size when translated, but I think it’d be fun nonetheless! Though, seeing a bigger version of this exact look would be pretty amazing!

[@doninis1354]

@@AllezVous222 If you use a well fited tshirt to fit the bodes, the rest will come almost by itself. It is a very easy pattern. You got this! I think we starded the skirt with an uneven number (total of 15 rows). If you do 2 or 3 loop border you have someting to ty the bodes in the back. For Human size ribon I would go a bit bigger with the netting row and use sewing material (its washable). Have fun!

[@cherifew3485]

@@AllezVous222all I can say is make it scaled to Barbie measure, then measure self. Count how many stitches by inch are in the Barbie swatch and use your measurement to multiply the stitches by scale to your size. also measure the size of each row then measure your length. Since this a Barbie outfit measure each section of your body like the bodice area measure the bodice in the pattern and measure your bodice then figure out how many rows you need for your measurements measure for waist area & your waist measurement so on and so forth!

Excellent job and that Barbie couldn't be anymore perfect with all those accessories that match the dress! 💅

[@katieduffy593]

You did nail it! Barbie looks exquisite

[@delladearest2511]

👏👏👏 you did great And it must have been fun making a dress for your Barbie ❣️ You can cover the black ponytail thingy with a matching ribbon

[@Janice_S]

It looks like a "storybook" doll dress. Very pretty

[@melodied4314]

Since Barbie made her debut in1959, she's never looked more lovely than she does in this 1951 dress pattern.❤

[@elizabethashley2313]

Pretty sure my grandmother made this exact dress for a doll once upon a time! I remember seeing old dolls with handmade dresses like this in a box as a kid. I have all of her old leftover thread and hooks (or did; I gave some of the hooks away since they were duplicates). Thanks for this fun reminder of her!

[@serendipidus8482]

Same here. I have runner's and half made things and 2 boxes of blue coats thread. And lots of irish lace collars and bits and bobs. I found a little not crocheted babies bonnet with down trim ...I do not know what to do with it all its so special I would love to share them somehow ..some of the things are nicer than what's in the museums too...like a whole ass satin green and balck lace dress from Edward Ian style 1910s that's not put together entirely and so beautiful. But no museum wants it even though its so nice. It just sits in a sheet in the cupboard. I think my great grandmother made it.

[@cindyhailey1059]

This turned out sooo cute! Barbie was perfect. It looks much better on Barbie than on the other doll. Brings back memories of back in the day... Great job. 😃

[@vandrabrescher302]

Your 1951 vintage doll dress pattern is pure perfection! Fit Barbie to a “T” I am 71, Ms. Barbie was created in the early 1960’s by Mattel. Every little girl wanted one for Christmas! So let me totally agree with you, “you nailed it!”

[@AzrealRou]

I'm just sitting here crocheting doll clothes for my expensive bjds while I watch you make a vintage doll dress love it

[@darlenemiller9990]

I LOVE it! After the ruffle started I remembered the little dolls that used to sit on toilet tanks in the “old days.” When I was a kid my grandma had one. It was a little 8-9” craft doll. She wore a crocheted dress and the legs of the doll were inserted in the middle of the roll to hide a spare while creating a full antebellum style dress. It is so cute on Barbie. How crazy that it’s so trendy all of a sudden! What goes around comes around! This was a thing way before Barbie came around. Anyway, keep up the good work! I’m Jan. Darlene is my mom and we watch you on her channel on TV.

[@craftypat]

I was thinking that or the ones with big skirts that sat on the bed.

[@Scorpio_Love_11]

@@craftypat you comment just made me think that my mom had one of those ones that my grandmother kept on the bed at her house I had forgotten all about now I must sift through everything to find it since my grandmother refused to let my mom have it when she got married and she didn’t get it back until my grandmother passed away in 2011 and of course I have it somewhere now since my mom passed away in 2017. I remember as a kid my grandmother would not let anyone touch it even my mom if you even went anywhere near it she would yell at you “GET AWAY FROM THERE” I can still hear her yelling now thank you for the great memories of my mom and grandmother.

[@kittykatfarm]

I remember the toilet paper crochet dolls

[@tinachristy8347]

Yes ma'am, you nailed it! Can't wait for the next one......thank your son for us! I love this mystery. Thanks again!

[@joanneentwistle7653]

I'm glad you got a break today from those crazy 1800s patterns...woohoo!

[@TorchwoodPandP]

1750 meets 1950 meets @@ the Movie! 😂 great result. compliments to your husband for his shopping skills.

[@patricialittle2406]

There is something so familiar about this pattern, I highly suspect it is one my Mom used to make my Barbie clothes. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[@vikkizoo1]

Rubbermaid started in the 1930’s so you company choice is valid. 🌈🌈🦋🦋

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

❤❤ I'm really excited about this doll dress! I have a vintage blonde mohair doll, like in the picture. My aunt gave me a doll that she crochet just like picture. Over the years many moves Ms Betty misplaced. Happy joy joy, I intend to make 2 dresses. Thanks.

[@krakensgirl]

Chain 2, skip a few, 99, one hundred 🤣 I just couldn't get that out of my head everytime you said skip 2. I love watching these so much! 💜💜💜💜

[@SewardWriter]

Ah, that would be the Animaniacs school of crochet.

[@gailkreyns124]

It's a Little Bo Peep pattern meant to fit a Ginny doll (like in the photo) floor length, but it looks lovely on Barbie just below the knees as well! Nicely done!

[@jeremymartin1957]

I think the pink and white turned out better than the vertigated it called for.

[@erikagholston6610]

You did a great job. Your Barbie looks so put together with her dress & accessories.

[@crowznest438]

Cool about the bowl; look forward to seeing what you picked out! I remember when Moms all over the place were crocheting these doll dresses.

[@alittlelessconversation]

Beautiful! My Mama made several of these dress for me and my dolls back in late 60s/early 80s. You took me back to a happy time in my childhood ❤

[@therealnancysteele]

I LOVE it! You did such a good job and props to Mr. JVC for stopping and getting you the perfect Barbie!

[@WinkTartanBelle]

When making doll clothes *that button or snap* to close, one must account for the overlap required at the closing. I say this after many years of experience creating such patterns. This is so pretty it could elevate a Dollar Store off-brand "Barbie". I can see this basic pattern used for special baby clothes too, like a bonnet and christening gown. Or adapted for a shawl or blanket? I really get excited when I see a new mystery pattern video is on offer. I like to save them for watching during "me time". Much love! "Beading" is a term often used in lace-making for an open mesh or grid that is made to allow ribbon or cord to be woven throught the lace.

[@Zed-y7h]

I replied before I saw your much better reply.. I was saying 'no no no.. dont skip!' lol

Hello Corrina, I've missed seeing your channel. I broke my femur in my right leg and had to have surgery. Spent 9 days in the hospital, 3 weeks in rehab. But now I'm home to recover, and I can start watching your channel again hooray !! I love the doll dress it came out so cute and the Barbie doll is perfect. Looking forward to seeing more of your episodes in the videos coming. Thank you ❤

[@snospmoht3252]

Omg omg omg! 😍 I had totally forgotten that my Gma made dresses like this for my Barbie back in the 50's! What a blast from the past for me! Love, love love it! You DID totally nail it girl! And what a nice memory. I loved those dresses then and I still do now. So cool. Thanks for a sweet one. 💕

Nailed it! I actually thought it was going to be a toilet roll cover.....lol Well done.

[@JustASmallTownGirl1974]

Omg, how adorable! I need a granddaughter to make this for! Or my grandson if he gets into Barbie!

[@mallorycolsmann1772]

Omg I love it!!! 😻 it’s crazy when you see pieces crocheted like this is in a good will or thrift stores and how much time someone’s grandma spent making it! I love giving new life to old pieces!!

[@skip2mylu-stories]

As soon as you got the pink going, I recognized it as one of the dresses my older sister had with her Barbie (Barbie's legs and arms did not bend but she had wigs) - brought back some memories. So glad you made it and were able to show us on a doll. Thanks so much!

[@dianagarms6879]

I played with my Barbie dolls until I was 16 and kept some for my granddaughters. I enjoyed making clothes for them. The pattern is adorbs!

I think this was the best one yet, very very cute. My aunt used to make me things like this so maybe that why I love it so much

[@BarbaracBlevins]

This looks like the dresses my sister made. For the dolls I had that were on cases to keep them safe. I had four dolls that I loved to play dress up with. They were a lot like the International dolls that were in cases and those never changed clothes. Many happy memories you have given me today Thanks.

[@mariankay6482]

I love it! Yes! You nailed it and Barbie never looked better! So stinkin' cute!!! You have a new doll to put on top of your shelves to go with the other ones that I adore! Be eutiful!!!

You hit it out of the park! It is adorable. Love the coordination of color and the Barbie your husband picked up. Thank you for this mystery!

[@kittykatfarm]

Absolutely love it! Perfect Barbie and accessories for this beautiful crochet dress from my era.....I was one year old when this pattern came out....yep, I'm vintage! Love your videos ❤🎉😊

[@fineweaver]

I think yours is better than the original. It fits and looks so much better on Barbie. I was looking for something to watch while on the treadmill today and this popped up, which was so cool since I was born in 1951. 😊

[@3rdand105]

Considering that Barbie wasn't created until later in that decade, I say you did an excellent job! For Bo Peep, it was meant to be ankle-length, but it works just as well with the hem at the knees. Great job!

[@debbiehannah4817]

Oh yes, you definitely nailed it. Well done to you and to Justin for his hard work xxx

[@app103]

I used to have a doll something like the one in the pattern's photo, except mine was from the 1930's and was supposed to be Sonja Henie, the famous figure skater from that era. It was something I found while exploring in my great aunt's house, back in the 1970's, and she let me keep it. Unfortunately, I no longer have that doll, but the pattern photo triggered such fond childhood memories and really put a smile on my face. :)

[@mrsgbee]

Gorgeousness. You are clever. That is so lovely. Smiles abundant watching this one. You definitely nailed it. ❤

You can be proud of this pattern. You definitely got it done! You are very good at figuring out what the patterns call for. Thank your son for preparing them.

[@aprilavery1972]

My great grandmother crochet dozens of doll dresses and I loved looking at them as a child. When my grandmother died, my mom had an estate sale. She asked me what I wanted to keep and I totally forgot about them until just now. I hope whoever bought them loves and appreciates them. There are quite a few things that I wish I’d asked for.

[@kitty-ms9jq]

You was so spot on with the dress ❤ it's very pretty classy dress. That's very nice your husband went out and you the doll for you bless him his very good for helping you and your son choosing all the patterns and blocking the words out. Well done Cornnia you did a fantastic job ❤

[@nadineluvscats]

So cute! I wish I knew someone who still played with Barbies because I would definitely make this.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

Such a fun pattern! Even if I'm not into dolls, it's cute and the existing style of the Barbie matches the dress so well. Imagine, a child learning to crochet with this pattern to make this dress for one of their dolls. :)

[@LyraStitchery]

That is a very cute pattern. Also cool to know people were designing Barbie clothes since Barbie has been around.

[@Khrysalis01]

Technically Barbie hit the stores in 1959, so this is different doll. I remember I had a doll like the one in the picture and got my first Barbie in 1960. But I do remember making clothes for her because she only came with a bathing suit. You could by official clothing and matching shoes for her but she was kinda expensive and so were the clothing. I saved up to buy another Barbie, her best friend Midge and she cost me $3.99 plus tax about 3 years later. lol 😂

[@LyraStitchery]

@Khrysalis01 yeah I thought she came later than 1951.

[@theMermaidRhonda]

This is fun! When I was a little girl my mom would make clothes for my barbie dolls, but they were all sewn. My grandma made a few crocheted ones for me. Watching these videos always makes me wonder if she had any of the books you get the patterns from. That's very cute!

When I was young enough to play with Barbies, many many years ago, my mom crocheted clothes for her. She just invented them since she didn’t know there were patterns. I had so many and my friends were jealous. I think I might have one put away somewhere. I thought I might make some for my daughters, but they didn’t want any home made stuff. 🙁😊

When you showed the piece after the nineteen minute mark I thought maybe a child's ruffled cuff? The pink is absolutely beautiful, and I love the cream corn yellow that Rosemary gifted to you. I can't work with the tiny threads too often, but once in a while I take that plunge. Do you think we can try another corner bookmark? I really enjoyed the last one with the tiny thread.
