This One Had Me Guessing The Entire Pattern | 1960s Crochet Mystery

[@andreahill6526]

I went ahead and finished this according to the pattern. You were totally on track!!!!! The short rows pull it together. It is super cute when finished. Wish I could put a pic in the comments.

[@3rdand105]

i believe the only thing you did wrong was to give up too soon. In my mind, I'm picturing making the required short rows, then begin the rounds again until it's long enough. You did well! Believe in yourself and trust the process. I think you would look fierce once it's done, you may want to revisit this and finish it. You'll be glad you did!

[@ranarentz1124]

Wow I had never herd of a false stitch before, that's crazy!! CORINNA you are amazing! Don't ever let anyone tell otherwise!!

[@naomis2]

Love this pattern. I agree with others who commented, you didn’t do anything wrong on this pattern. Those short rows would have made the brim you were expecting. ❤❤❤ We believe in you, believe in yourself too!

[@snospmoht3252]

The 2nd row started before the first row and should also extend beyond the first row. I'm talking to you thru my screen lol. It's a brim girl. It's a hat brim that gets wider and longer but shallower towards the ends of it. No you did not screw it up at all, you just didn't finish it. It would've been quite cute. It is not a fail. But you obviously weren't feeling it so it's okay to let it go. Especially if your hands were hurting.

[@michellebruton6287]

I really wish us crocheters and knitters all around the world could unite and standardise yarn sizes/thicknesses ... 4 ply yarn in South Africa is really thin, thinner than DK, which is thinner than Aran - which here we would call Chunky, oh the challenges we face.😂. I said HAT just as you said HAT 😂😂. And then I thought it looked like another toilet seat lid cover - I'm obsessed with toilet covers at the moment 🙄 - its because my 50yr old toilet REALLY needs a facelift 😂😂.

[@robinrosenbalm2018]

I think maybe if you continued the decreases it may have drawn it all in. Try finishing what you were thinking.

[@myggggeneration]

You should have continued, I think it would have worked out with the short rows and then even, circular rows to finish it. 🙂 Maybe continue once your hands feel better. 💖

[@susankrempasky2916]

I had the same thought. It seemed as if the decreases would have pulled it into the point where the brim could be finished.

[@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618]

For anyone who wants to evenly space the increases: Round 14: we need to increase 20, 80 ÷ 20 is 4, so every fourth stitch is an increase Round 17: we need to increase 20, there are 20 puffs in the previous round, so every puff gets an increase

[@Automogator]

Watermelon placemats! I love this idea! 🍉 ☀️ ❤️

[@ABJILL033]

I think the short rows were to decrease the brim & once finished the short rows would give the poofy look of the beret in the picture. I’m sure if you finish you will have another chic hat to model! Crafty hugs 👏👏❤️❤️🇬🇧

[@strawberryseed1886]

Stop doubting yourself so much! You know what you’re doing! You keep overthinking things. You had it! That’s my pep talk for today. ❤😂

[@ibernevicino286]

I don't think it's a fail, if you keep decreasing you would get a beret, it's really cute you should try finish it

[@melissajensen4290]

I don't think you did it wrong. The short rows would have brought it together as the brim

[@TheChemistryTutor]

You are amazing for trying these patterns as mysteries. I understand your feeling of doing something the wrong way, but I think that’s half the fun of what you are doing. I say, as long as your hands can handle it, keep going with it. We’ll love it regardless of if it’s right or wrong. 😊

[@LadyValkyri]

I absolutely agree they would make great summertime placemats! Or out of cotton maybe a dog's frisbee-type throw toy? Possibilities!!!! Hugs

[@arlysdavis3694]

Not a fail. A cute pattern. Thank you

[@Belle-nihilator]

Part of the fun is to continue the pattern even if it may end up wrong to see what you end up with. Resist getting the picture!

[@emilydeaton1698]

I do the same when working increases!😂 1, 2, in, crease....

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

Sometimes you just have to say your temporarily giving up , it's not a fail , we all learnt from it ,and maybe you will come back to it ,maybe making it in to something different to see what happens, regardless it was a fun video and it looks lovely in the spring colours .

[@pixenpost]

Please make the hat - think it will be cute on you ❤❤

[@maryrichardson8790]

I love watching your videos, Corinna, in this crazy world they are a little slice of calm, creativity, and loveliness! I have to admit that knitting is my 'go too' usually, but you have got me crocheting a few doylies and samplers! I love vintage, and I love how you explain clearly, so it looks so tempting to have a go too!! 😊😊❤❤😊😊❤❤

[@lorrainewylie6975]

I think you were doing it right too Corinna, and I agree with some of the comments saying you should go back to it again at some point, just to see how it turns out, it was looookin goooood girl x

[@ellbow7287]

1I agree. I would love to see it finished.

[@FloridasYesteryear]

Another pattern i will have to try. I am making a 1940s dress in pink and blue pin stripes. So i think making this hat in pink would be an awesome addition.

[@g.cosper]

YES I totally agree

[@daricetaylor737]

Can you envision this done in a strawberry color yarn as the main and black puffs........you would have a strawberry hat!

[@mbvoelker8448]

The color contrast looked great.

[@epicnamepwns1242]

I think you were exactly right (except perhaps the puffs - maybe they go one row deeper?) until you lost faith in the pattern; the short rows are supposed to get longer gradually building up the front crescent of the hat. I think it would be fine to finish from there. And fruity-themed versions would be super cute!

[@DaleTruman-u3u]

You did it right.

[@petrahoward4270]

You sell yourself short... if you had kept following the pattern, I know you would have figured it out. But I understand your frustration with yourself, the pattern, and your hands. You are amazing and I love watching your videos; you make it relatable and I don't feel such a fool for not catching on straight away! Thank you for making sense of it all.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

You are an inspiration! I never learned how to decipher a pattern, so I listen along with you and hope something sinks in. Peace and Blessings 🧶

[@kimberlykatz5782]

I think you do a fabulous work and there’s really no failure s cause what you create is something that years down the road Simone would want to make what you’ve made. I don’t know of anyone doing what you do so you should never apologize your doing the best with the lack of information on these patterns.

[@KimmiMorningstar]

That looks like a super cute hat! 😆 blue with white puffs would be really cute

[@sthomson06]

I hope you come back and try to finish this one! I think the short rows make that flat front of the hat.

[@JaydePedersen]

Don’t give up please revisit because I feel you were doing it right, the section you stopped on is the front part going by the picture, might give it a go myself

[@sapphireblu76]

I'd love to see you re-try this pattern ❤

[@wycohibito]

Your color choices make me want to make a beanie that looks like a ear of corn. 🌽

[@devils.advocate2354]

12:53 of course they go GREAT together… nothing runs like a Deere 🧡

[@thehastyway2563]

For sure! JD all the way!

[@sprhtiger]

I love your strawberry idea pink and black, that would look great. Those puffs in the black colour, oh yes. Sorry I watch you do these patterns, and I'm from Australia, I can't follow pattern's and I think it's amazing how you do them without hesitating. Hi I'm Shan 65 yo.

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

I was stumped, I had absolutely no idea..

[@susananderson3478]

Dear sweet Cor I love your toots you are an amazing person and you bring joy into my life! Embrace who you are! ❤❤❤❤

[@jaime3590]

Extremely cute

[@doninis1354]

I could not guess what it is going to be during the video, but I am going to try to do this. Now I want to know 😁thank you Corinna. No fail, not finished...I guess.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

I'd say it's not a failure at all. I was looking at it too, thinking beret. Your colours are so fun! :)

[@nattninjamedbuller]

Corinna, you did well! Definitely not a fail❤ For a moment, before the reveal and trying to figure out what on earth this mystery pattern is, I was wondering is Justin mad at you for some reason😆 but when I saw the picture I totally understand why he picked that cute berett!

[@judyeng9822]

lol! I hate when I mess up a pattern! Then you have to read back through it to see where you got lost!! You did a Great job! Love the placemat idea! 😇🙏❤️

[@scarletohhaha6938]

That's just it, she didn't get lost at all! She just needed to finish it. The decreasing short rows were the shaping to make it into the beret form.

[@dianechicklo7961]

Hot plate covers if cotton

[@melodied4314]

Maybe I missed it, but what is a "short row"? I think the hat would be super cute in the color combo you selected!😊

[@sheilaclark8356]

I think when you did the puff stitches is when you pulled the yarn through the 7 loops was the stitch so when you pulled another loop through your making a chain stitch so it’s like your adding a chain after your puff Stitch. Because when you make regular stitches you only pull a loop through the last two loops and you don’t pull another loop through.

[@jojoberrypie6580]

I have these colors and the correct size hook! I’m trying it.

[@WhatJacKnots]

I was really hoping it was gonna be a lil circle bag anf the pattern would be great for it llus the colors!

[@telpen6613]

Love love the mystery patterns they in then self are tutorials as we are learning along with you. Looking forward to the next one.🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@melissastewart5838]

You were almost done you just needed to do the brim!!

[@Deborah10000]

Please make a bed jacket. Thx.

[@iWSNTmxlly]

I didn’t know about false stitches! Learned something new today

[@KarenJohnson-cg1xc]

I don't think you did it wrong either - it looks to be on the right track. You just need to finish the decreases and add the sc rows. Those sc rows will draw it up. :)

[@dianeharrington1103]

No keep going looks neat

[@meredithwhidden8712]

So many great guesses. Regarding changing the color of bobbles, I think you could get away with multi colors depending on the color of yarn you begin with. The green looks amazing with yellow, and you can try a peach or pastel blue. I encourage you to finish this project because it is not a fail . The short rows you're crocheting now are the brim of the beret , each short row is going over the last row becoming longer and connecting the brim all the way around probably looking like a half moon. Please 🙏 🙏 please finish this project. Do you have copies of some of your older books? Do you want a copy of some of my older books?

[@NicolaHenry-l7n]

Please go back to what you were doing once you’ve rested your hands lol. I’m with the others who think this is what the decreases are for. I don’t think it was a fail at all. Maybe sometimes it’s better to walk away for a while, when the pattern is confusing. I’d rather wait an extra day for a video where you figure it out in the end as I’m cheering you on 😅❤

[@ssouthern6710]

I had no idea so I didn't guess. I love what you made better. Love the idea of place mats. I'm going to do that. This would be perfect to add to my Christmas gifts I'm crocheting. Thank you so much! ❤❤

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

I would have messed it up from the 5th row.. ~ I was so frustrated..

[@debbienewton909]

Idk how that pattern works up to be that!! Cute tho!! I did okay until the rows, which were very confusing!! You did great!!

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

It appears as if you do your decrease twice with the 6 sc. Then dec again over the next 2 stitches - 3rd dec. (no 6sc for this dec) = 3 dec's. Just guessin' but this would make it cinch up quick :)))

[@karenh2890]

I love the colors you chose! It still looks like a possible save?

[@susanrussell8195]

I agree with SC cringe that said you gave up too soon. I don’t think you were doing it wrong.

[@ruthfarrell8265]

Nice try. And great idea to use it as something else. Love your videos.

[@jaynnnewell4722]

My cadence is just to count, with the last number going in the same stitch as the previous. So (sc, inc) is just 1-2-3 with 3 going into the same stitch as 2.

[@dianechicklo7961]

Luv it. Mystery

[@erikagholston6610]

I think when you did the decrease row you should’ve done a complete row all the way around.

[@roserenik6375]

Not sure how it went wrong, but it would make a cute placemat.

[@carinabakewell2311]

I wanna see the beret, I wanna see the beret!😂😂😂😂

[@lindagoesel3815]

Boy i got lost with this one too but i would love it as i love berets. I wonder if you just keep decreasing instead of that short row business, huh! Will you put that one up too. I made the hanger cover and love it. Im goung to make more. My dress stays on hanger, yeah! You are so fun.❤😂

[@Pammy_Yolo]

It's ok to fail! We all do it. You just get back up & keep going, which you always do ❤ Puff stitches hurt my hand too. I just finished making a baby dress full of puffs, now I have to take a few days off.

[@Teerae11]

Ya that was confusing at end , but rest was ok , so maybe keep doing the increase cut offs all the way around ? Idk but ur right cud turn it into a hot plate or whatever something idk great try , for thise saying u shud finish it, they can finish theirs just repeat what u just did around till size fits ?? But I understand why u don't finish it , not a fail just a confusing end is all , ❤it thank you for another great video 📷📸 !!! 😊

[@AnnetteSnow]

I love your videos! This one did get a little confusing for me toward the end, too, but you made me realize I could use it for something else. I have several other unfinished patterns I now will repurpose, and I thank you for that.

On wish row do you went wrong? You follow the pattern stich by stich. I‘m confused

[@mandathompson6795]

Hi. I was trying to tell you what you need to do, but you couldn't hear me. You missed a part of that row that said to turn your work after moving the ten spaces from the first short row.

[@JannekeKimstra]

Trust the process. You did not mess up other than giving up too soon. If you had just finished it as described it would have ended up exactly the shape in the picture.

[@nukathelandermotzfeldt1431]

Do you have a Instagram where you post your projects?

[@GodsOath_com]

A pillow...for the doggie bed

[@maizie9454]

i think your version would look better. as a beret.

[@lulubellsshoebox1650]

I think you did it right, I’m sure if you kept going it would have looked good

[@moyralouise7123]

Cushion cover?

[@RealMelodyBlue]

I kept thinking bucket hat

[@julielaidlaw2412]

Front of a cushion cover

[@sidmelucci3675]

About halfway through the video. A tea cozy?

[@janeatkinson8955]

Is it a beret🤔

[@morningmoondove5065]

❤

[@lindapost3954]

I think its a "Tam hat".

[@lindapost3954]

Please continue. Your almost there. Why stop now.

[@raisingwings6951]

Please finish it! I've been looking for a pattern just like that and following along with you makes vintage patterns attainable ❤

[@lorinapetranova2607]

I thought it went to a tortilla warmer. Altho tortillas usually go too fast for that. The placemat idea is good. Or make the edges fold up for a foam plate or fancy luncheon. Have a ladies munch n dress up n act like snooty dowagers of ye olde estate like on PBS!!!😁

[@shirleywolford3650]

I would have sworn it was a throw pillow cover

[@Sassygrannyvlogs]

💙

[@coobrie1323]

No!! You did it correctly! Please finish it.

[@rebeccaenlow7395]

🤔👏

[@dianechicklo7961]

Great try

[@dorcaswatson4873]

I am thinking that you worked out the false stitches so. Keep going you had it fine. You tend to way over think things

[@lyndaclark7545]

You did everything right, you just stopped too soon. The decrease rows pull the edges in to form a band. Please go back and finish this one!

[@susanfrederick33]

❤❤❤🇦🇺

[@renagrace2]

Why is it called a Fake Stitch?

[@justvintagecrochet]

it looks like a stitch but it's not and it will throw on a stitch count if it's worked, bacisally it's the loop that was on the hook when I made the cluster st, , that also happend when working in the round and you go to join, the loop already on your hook will create a false stitch when you join

[@theMermaidRhonda]

Well, even with the pic I'm like what? It's cute, but those directions are...weird..

[@ladyspookums]

So wait....she didn't finish it?

[@bettablue2660]

Too many stitches on the 3rd row.
