I think the reason I enjoy the mystery pattern videos is because I have learned so much from them. I was never taught to read a pattern, and these videos have improved my ability to do so by leaps and bounds. Also, learning to make (and feeling confident about) “executive decisions” to improve on the stability of a pattern. The fact that you show your trial and error thought process is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put into these videos…watching them has improved my crochet skills enormously!

[@libbylandscape3560]

Same for me. 🙂

[@joseapar]

I agree! I recently followed my first pattern ever, and this channel gave me the confidence to know i could read the pattern. I've learned so much from these videos.

[@doninis1354]

What I have learned sofar: 1. there is a different about pulling the string over or under 2. stuck single 3. backpump only 4. just try and figured it out! 😁 And I am an advanced chrocheter, so you never stop learning.

[@creeping.nuthatch]

So true! I had no idea how to read a pattern before I saw this channel, and now I can and can start to write my own!

[@susanrussell8195]

@@doninis1354I am a stacked single convert. For the first time ever, I am crocheting a sweater for an adult. I think Corinna’s channel has given me the confidence to do so as well as TLYarn. I’m so grateful for creators willing to share their talents and having the courage to put themselves out on the internet.

[@debobrien1065]

Once these are washed a couple times they lay a bit less stiff, however making one with a finer yarn is usually best. Back in the sixties, we wore these things everywhere. The brighter and more colorful they were the better we liked them.

[@mala687]

Yes I agree a lightweight yarn would work better 😊

[@lindahh798]

Looking like something from. ....THE 60s!! Hey, what am I saying .... I'm from the 50s! Lol

[@JC-tn9iv]

Yah the true colors would have be brighter than this one.

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

Yep, I remember my older sister and cousins wearing them too 🤓. Everywhere as you said. Being teens then.. the kerchief was evidently the in thing. 😊I think my preteen nieces would like them. In maybe sock weight cotton

[@yvonnemccullaghward361]

Yes I had short hair but my sisters wore little triangular scarves just like this

[@catherinesommer3648]

Baxk in the 60's and early 70's, many girls had big hair, back-combed into beehive styles, so that would have been just the right size! Well done!

[@gingerfoxx1476]

That's interesting. It makes a lot if sense in that context, and by that logic, modifying it for modern hairstyles is only natural. We revive retro fashions with a modern twist every new generation

[@purpdlerose]

Middle 50's had the beehives too. I was born in 1957 and that's the style my mom wore for 30 yrs❤

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

Don't forget that a lot of ladies wore rollers including concentrated orange juice containers out in public with one of these over the top. .

[@brendayvonnemcinerney2217]

I'm from the hippie generation and 60's. It is a scarf hat or kerchief band that is supposed to be like that because crochet was a huge alternative to use instead of cloth and you just weren't "cool" if you didn't have some things that were crocheted. It marked you for the hippie style at that time. I had all styles in many fabrics. You had to be from that generation to stylize it in your wardrobe super willingly. We wore them everywhere because it was the fashion. Yeah, the 60's were a very wordy time, especially coming on the tail of the Beatnik's coffee house poetry era. Yup. Wordy... lol. You do honor to women and men of that time. Thank you.

[@chickadeetle]

in 1969 my mother made me a two piece lavendar and purple pants suit with bell bottoms; bell sleeves;and turtle neck-type, tied and scalloped neck. I wore it for picture day at school.

[@michellerahrig2320]

I thought it was a top before you said different

[@cfrandre8319]

Wow! I’d love to have seen that...my grandmother made our clothes when we were little-we had hats and mittens, leggings, dresses, jumpers and even double-knitted “carriage” suits for riding in the pram! I think she was tired of knitting and crocheting by the time we were in school...Thanks for reminding me-I wish I could sit and crochet with her now that I have finally learned. She tried to teach me over the years, but I never got the hang of it until I had to slow my life down due to cancer and chemo. I made hats I donated to the cancer centre “hat box” (not the first one I made-it’s pretty bad, and I wear it😜). All best regards to you and your mum!

[@lorriewhite7886]

Please, please, please don’t stop your tutorials!! PLEASE!

[@Jernyon2003]

Deviations from original patterns are how new designs and ideas were made. You honor the spirit of these patterns by doing them at all! Do what you need to make them work for you. Keep up the good work and if people have a problem they can watch something else or do it themselves instead of giving you grief.

[@gingerfoxx1476]

Couldn't have phrased it better, myself. Whether it's by the book or going rogue, we all should do what makes us happy in the end, and not waste energy trying to make everyone follow suit the exact same way. If we did that, there were be very little variety in life.

[@doninis1354]

I think it is totaly okay, too. Nobody wants to waste material or time.

[@mariankay6482]

Amen to that! Perfection on the choice of words!!!❤️🧶

[@jsschnc]

I think it's fine that you make occasional changes to the pattern. The pattern still emerges and you're experenced enough with crochet to know what is going to happen. I like watching the channel. Keep doing what you do. It's fun to watch.

[@karenstrachan287]

Watching your videos has got me bring out some of my old Workbasket magazines and looking at some of the old patterns.

[@cathys949]

I think it's so interesting that every generation of women finds a way to use the same stitches to express themselves and make items that are beautiful and useful. Even though I don't crochet, I enjoy your vintage patterns! In the 60's, I made most of my own dresses and skirts, and always made a triangular scarf from the same fabric go with them. Always tie it with the strings under your hair in the back!

[@meriwitmer3356]

Please, please do not stop your tutorials!!!!!!! I always take the time out of my busy life to just sit and do them with you! I love learning how to read the old patterns and see the product that is so elegant and timeless. I love your mystery patterns as well but it would be terrible to lose your tutorials.

[@anavah4yeshua580]

As a child of a 60s, I can tell you that you are spot on! We all used to wear head scarves, and most of us either knitted or crocheted. It was all part of the communal thing. That type of scarf with the worsted weight yarn would’ve been likely For a cooler climate or a winter time. Remember even though that was the hippie 60’s we still wanted to stay in style.

[@GracefulHaka]

Since it doesn't work for you as a head scarf, you could go ahead and make a second one and sew them together as a triangle bag that you were talking about earlier. Cute market bag.

[@alittlelessconversation]

I love how you teach how to read patterns, how to crochet, how to work through the patterns, and above all, smile at the end even if it’s not what you think it should look like. It’s all a success!! You are a super creative and cool person.

[@suekstr]

That is exactly the way they looked in the 60's. We all had VERY puffy, BIG hair back then! LOL! Did Great!

[@beverlyw56]

I've never been a fan of head scarves, but I think this is cute, it is so 60's.

[@txmomma]

More patterns from the 60’s & 70’s PLEASE!

[@Pammy_Yolo]

I was born in 1963 & everything was very colorful! I remember wearing lots of Ponchos & head bandanas. ❤ I think we all deviate from originals when making stuff. That makes it our own original! If people don't like that, they can start their own channel and do their own thing. I always say... You do you & I'll do me! ❤ When you have the word "single" that many times, maybe say "one"? 😂

[@felicialusterino5523]

I think this would make a cute bandana top! If you put two strings from the top of triangle to tie around neck and two to tie bottom around your back. It would be a cute summer top!

[@sharlew2809]

Oops sorry I thought the same thing, didn’t see your comment till I posted 😂

[@AnaKreutzer]

Single crochet a thousand times or okay a thousand times lol! Same diff! This was fun and I have thick curly hair. My mom used to put these on me in the 70's.

[@Whatanidiot2007]

I think it looks great! The colors are actually cool too. Plenty of kiddos today would wear it. 🧶✌️

[@TheSassy1962]

PS: As a child of the 1960’s myself, and can attest to the following because I owned a couple of these…keep going on the triangle until it is large enough for the front of a poncho, then make a second one. sew together across the long side but leave an opening for your head!

[@michellenash6802]

Plz don’t stop your tutorials!I love all of the things you’re doing.

[@BarbaracBlevins]

Watching your sometimes struggling to figure out a pattern makes us feel part of a society that faces the same issues and not the dummies we often feel like. Thank you for that. Positive reinforcement to our often feeling of being useless at doing non simple items we try to do.

[@gwkenn]

Love seeing what the old project looks like when you're done.

[@NicolaHenry-l7n]

I do enjoy these mystery patterns, they are fun to watch. But I REALLY like your tutorials!! I The vintage styles are gorgeous and I love that you model the finished pieces for us. I recently made the sampler stitch poncho and I’ve had my fingers crossed for a floppy hat tutorial for the summer! Thank you so much for your hard work, research and fun videos ❤️

[@NaomiBrady-im4yi]

These were hugely popular in the 60s and 70s festival goers would go mad for these today.Well done 🇮🇪💚

[@chayacuevascohen2219]

I remember this pattern from the Coats & Clark little 15 cents instruction book that I purchased at our local Woolworth’s. This was a blast from the past that inspired me to go into my projects box and find my original one. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[@ThundermansThunder]

I remember having seen many of these during my childhood. They were used primarily as a way of holding hair out of the face while working, but also to keep some of the dust from settling on the hair, as well. It was loose by design, so as to cover hair that was pulled back or up, to serve as a utilitarian accessory, a fun, creative alternative to the typical basic kerchief or scarf that was most commonly used for this same purpose. I really enjoyed the mystery! Well done! 😍🧕

[@dianathorpe2280]

Thank you so much! Love your videos! I grew up in the 60's and this pattern is spot on. Red Heart was THE worsted yarn, but I think a softer modern worsted would work up lovely.

[@handmadeschwan]

These videos really never get boring

[@MeemaYvonne]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos while crocheting my current project! 🥰❣ Now that we know what it is... I would make the ties by chaining and slip stitching back while doing the last round. I HATE hand sewing aka assembly. 😜

[@jillschimpf1605]

❤ LONG COMMENT: You did great! I love the "turn into a purse/bag" idea! It would make a really nice reusable market shopping bag. I'm sure the ladies in the past didn't "follow patterns to the letter" either, making their own decisions and in their own way; from color choices to how they made the stitches. Crochet is about fun and creativity and you give that in your tutorials and mystery videos. And if I may, I would like to add my vote to the tally of don't give up the tutorials either. Even if I decide not to make them, I do learn from them: your beaded 1920's purse being the perfect example! I never knew how to do beaded crochet until I watched your tutorial, so thank you very much! 😊 I would like to also add advice of making sure you take time for the things you want to make--even if you don't video them (hint hint- finish that peacock beadspread you've been wanting to finish😘) Nothing is worse than feeling burnt out on doing something you love. So ***sigh*** maybe make videos less often? There is no crochet/KZbin law that says "Thou SHALT post videos every week, or every few days--OR ELSE!!!" Que dramatic ominous dun-dun-dunnnnnn. 😂 Keep up the great work. You have made so many unseen friends on this channel who are right behind supporting you! Myself as one of the major pillars holding you up. ❤❤❤❤ (BTW I am putting together a "Happy Mail" package for you. I just need to get things together, and to wait until my funds are a little less tight before I ship it. My hope is to have it you before the end of May. 🥰)

[@judyeng9822]

You are too funny! I love it how you make fun of yourself! I do as well! Got to love the 60’s! 😇🙏❤️

[@deebull3190]

I think it's perfect for the beach...groovy. Thank you

[@rebeccastanford7021]

When I was growing up in the 60s these hair bandannas were popular my mom wore them alot it was a life saver for housewives running to the store without fixing their hair my mom wore them all over the years good for outdoors to corral short hair when u couldn't Pony tail it good memories of my mom wearing those she recently passed I love the good memories ❤

[@davidingram1016]

David’s wife speaking - I don’t remember crocheted bandanas but cloth ones that matched your dress or skirt The idea of using lighter weight yarn or even yarn that ppl use to make socks out of would be good. I grew up in california so maybe the yarn scarves were used in cold weather states instead of the tried and true winter that that messes up the hair?

[@SusanStilz]

I’m so excited to have come across your channel! This is so fun!

[@monicabaker5456]

I had several of these growing up. I wore them every day. Great pattern!❤

[@donnaparks5815]

Single crochet substitute words- skitch, scoot, and scrochet😂, scooch is also good for me!

[@lornaperryman489]

Just found you and really enjoying the tutorial. Now I have to find wherever I hid my crocheting stuff.

[@jacintahehir4995]

looks great! love the ridges. i love that you’re reviving old patterns.👏🏼

[@aligalad9907]

No one else does mystery videos (if they do I’ve not seen them) but lots do tutorials- with tutorials it’s really about finding what’s trending or hitting on something that becomes a trend. I wouldn’t give up - watch other tutorials and see what successful and try work out why - then you have to find something either unique to teach or a unique way of teaching an old technique. Congrats on 100000.

[@lorettabowman2159]

YOU ARE SO FUNNY. AND I LOVE THE VINTAGE IDEALS. CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE NEXT ONE.😅

[@Ebostic711]

I like it! It be great for camping.

[@eileenlynch6896]

This was such fun Corinna ..thank you so much ….you put a smile on my face just when I needed it….❤❤❤❤❤

[@joangallagher9754]

Colour certainly came into its own in the 60’s,love this,you make me chuckle😊🫶

[@karenrenne1598]

You are so entertaining....I could watch you crochet all day, even if there are a lot of sc's!!!!😊❤❤❤

[@rosettaminthorn4217]

My first time watching. It was fun!

[@pamrapp5474]

Cute bandana....❤ quite popular in the 60's and I notice they're popular again...

[@lindahh798]

You are an artist! To experiment with a pattern is normal!

[@angelafeather1301]

Take no notice if the nit pickers, it is your channel and I think you are fantastic !!!😊

[@nonna3297]

Made one in the 60's . We wore them all the time. Love your mystery crochet segments!

[@Bunny96Love]

ahh man, this is just perfect, love the colors and everything. gorgeous.

[@ArawynnEveningstar]

I try and watch all the videos but can't always. I do love the mystery ones because it is neat to see how you interpret the patterns and tweak things to work out. It is also fun to try and guess what it is going to be as you are making it. I hope you don't stop doing your tutorials either because they are so informative. I have seen that tutorials don't get as much views because people only access it when they need it. I am constantly looking up tutorials on how to do stitches but not so much for huge projects, unless I am working on that particular project and have to keep referring back to tutorial. Thanks for all your work. You help bring humour and colour to a world on fire.

[@joannehopesLife_After_40]

I was thinking it would be a halter top. Super fun head cover though! I love your wig too!

[@jessiegallacher7368]

This video was a pleasure to watch! I love your relaxed, real chat. The mystery pattern is terrific. I'm looking forward to more.

[@mscscottage1277]

Okay, I am 10 minutes in and I am calling this as a Hippy Shawl. I think I made one of there in 1967!lol

[@Mama1Marie]

It's a head scarf! A hippy head scarf! I enjoyed watching and listening to you.❤️

[@TinaSpencer-mr1cp]

Oh, you popped up in my feed today out of the blue. Enjoyed your presentation plus really love vintage + crochet so subscribed.

[@lesliesantiago1423]

Great! Was born in 1961! Had many of these! It looks really cute

[@paul4ta]

I appreciate that you go slowly enough to follow along, but honestly, I just love to pop on your videos while I'm working on a monotonous section of a project. Watching you work through something mysterious keeps me motivated, and your narration is just delightful. I laugh along with you, and I agree with the "improv" decisions you make. (It doesn't really matter as long as you're consistent!) Please keep them coming!!!

[@Traceyblood]

Love these vintage patterns and the surprise of what they turn into. Uk here 🇬🇧👋

[@michezkr]

i got home from schooling about an hour ago and wanted to crochet something, even started something and ended up frogging it… in search of something that i could crochet i ended up here… watching this video from beginning to ending without skipping or anything, without crocheting anything myself but WOW was it so… unbelievably entertaining! it was so funny and i‘m just so glad i found you and your channel

[@CyndiWho]

It’s cute!❤ Pretty sure the model had a bouffant hairdo under the headscarf.

[@christinaralidak6330]

I really enjoyed listening to you . Your voice is very beautiful .. keep trying to picture your face to match your voice as I watched you make that beautiful pattern.. wow, in the end, we get to see you ..your so beautiful ❤

[@MistyThompson-rz8bi]

I just found you! I love this vintage pattern!

[@roserenik6375]

Crochet 1 stitch as before. You are hilarious about the scarf. It is a success.

[@iWSNTmxlly]

I’ve learned how to read patterns just by watching these

[@bmcneely351]

I used to wear things like that as a teen, the size looked about right, very cute on you. Love this channel!

[@angieelliott8741]

Super cute!! I would love to do that in black white and grey!! Imma say, i dont have much hair to fill it out! Lol! I love your putting a face to the voice! ❤️

[@sthomas]

Great job as always. I love these mystery patterns and learn so much watching you work through them. Thank you sooooooo much for putting so much time and effort into these for everyone to enjoy ☺️

[@sharleenehurst4250]

OMG, I actually remember these. I remember women wearing these things back in the 60's.

[@tiggy114]

The wig is gorgeous

[@jacquelinevpeterson2220]

It looks cute.

[@jacquelinevpeterson2220]

I’m a new subscriber, thank you for your mystery video, I was nine years old at 1960, a good time.

[@rimmerableful]

As a child of this era, we wore head scarves like you made with overalls. Was cute and a good look. Wish young women would wear more head scarves and less, false lashes.

[@melodied4314]

Groovy.

[@charisseproffitt3653]

When I heard the colors I thought, what in the world. But in the end, I love it. I'm going to make some of these.

[@brendabowers568]

As a beginner who just happened upon this site, all I can say is OMG! Lordy, I will never be able to follow a pattern like this. I’m so impressed!

[@stitchaspellMilan]

Definitely a success in execution! Pattern choice of yarn, not so much. It’d be much prettier in dk weight. Love your videos. Thank you. 🦋

[@sharonstevens4239]

That was the style back in the’60’s. ❤️

[@OraliaZavala-kj1fk]

I love the final results! I’ll wear it out it’s pretty!

[@maddiebienemann]

Oh my goodness your nails are ADORABLE!

[@simplysamantha32]

I just made this and I’m in love! I ended up not doing the last round of slip stitch around and decided to to the outer edge and ties purple. I loved this video and pattern! I have followed along to your videos several times and absolutely love your content!

[@deborahwortham4051]

This 1960s Mystery pattern video popped up today probably because I’m a crocheter. I LOVED it! I agree with a previous commenter as you can learn so much continuously watching other crochet videos. Yeah I’m old (75) so guessed it right off. And the wig looked great as it was perfect for the longer straight hair worn back then. I’m thinking I’ll work one up in DK as my hair is quickly thinning UGH. I don’t want to wear hats so the “kerchief” would work great without looking like a biker chick. I just had to subscribe and will enjoy your video library. And you know the Mysteries come 1st!

[@mariang7133]

UK here, as you say we call singles doubles. As it's written dc I've always called them ducks Just found you this evening love love loving your work.

[@dotesondots]

This is the first time I watched the mystery video and loved it! You're so funny especially the part about the bleep stitch. Looking forward to more mystery videos. BTW, it turned out great!✨️💖✨️

[@annmariekawana2939]

So glad that I can understand you because you’re teaching me how to read crochet patterns and also I love watching you crochet mysterious patterns that your son gives you please don’t go away. Also your making me laugh by saying sc sc sc sc sc 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PatPinti]

I’m excited 😮😊! I was blessed getting this video 2 day - 1st time viewer. Feeling low when I woke up - but this video changed my whole state of mind! It has given me encouragement and a lift to start something new & create something ‘wild & crazy’! Bless you - and keep me posted; I don’t want to go back into a funk!❤

[@laurelcay7914]

Lol I remember those! Yes, they were thick and stuck out just like that.

[@annaeden2609]

Had so much fun crocheting with you!

[@gladysf5728]

😅 you made me laugh. What a great idea to use mystery patterns! Loved it.

[@lorriewhite7886]

Not a fail! That is what they looked like. You did a great job.

[@elainehamilton3296]

I love this bandanna. I will be making it for my granddaughters

[@marlaparraguirre277]

I didn't realize that I was NOT subscribed to you after a couple of weeks of having watched your videos. LOL Glad to say I rectified that oversight on my end!

[@patmcintire454]

It looks cute on you. I use to wear bandanas on my hair back in the day.

[@natascha-dannykar-6504]

I think, the wig and the kerchief suits you very well! Just imagine....Bluejeans, white blouse and a blue and white striped kerchief! With this wig! Wonderful! But everybody sees the mirror face different then another person. I just love the look.

[@Cathy-f7m]

Just found your channel and I've gotta say, How Fun! I really enjoyed watching and trying to figure out what you're making. And bonus!, it helped me understand written patterns better. Thank you

[@MsTreefox]

I gotta say, I live in Portland, OR and that thing would be adored here 😂❤

[@jennifershaw4756]

I love how your dog looked very interested in the reveal. haha

[@seeker405]

I never do beginning and end of row increases in first and last stitch, but do them in the stitches next to them. Gives a lovely smooth edge. 😊

[@leedavis9254]

You nailed it!! It looks good on you! I was young, but I remember little girls to women of all ages wearing these in the summer. It was a great time to be a kid.

[@karynpruden5733]

I love it! I’m currently working on a granny stitch shawl, it’s totally 1960’s using Walmart brand yarn called tutti fruiti, bright purple, orange yellow pinks, I will be seen from miles away🧡💛💗❤️💜
