Here is a quick video addressing the Row/Round concerns, Thanks! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqyJg61ky6_Hm3k.html Ok, Hi, A lot of you are wondering if I was supposed to work in rows and not rounds ( back then a lot of patterns just used row for both) , and I hear you , Im happy to learn as I 100% do not know everything when it comes to these old patterns, if you could make this along with me but in rows from a half circle ( as has been suggented) , please email me the pictures and I will share them on the community post page so we can all see where I messed up, I truly believe that this is a square shawl that is meant to be folded in half as was the most popular style throughout the victorian and edwardian eras , but if you see someing I did not , please share , Thanks so much!!

Turns out, there are no vintage crochet police to come and charge you for deciding to use an antique shawl pattern to make a bedspread. 😆That's why the pattern is open ended. YOU decide how big you need the project to be and YOU decide how much yarn you want to use. You could also change colors! Lovely pattern! I have enjoyed these mystery crochet videos!

I've worked patterns that call for placing a stitch between the posts, but not actually in the stitch. In most modern patterns, to eliminate confusion, pattern makers usually put a *ch 1 in the previous round* to work into, but many older patterns didn't do that. What you did was correct. I'll defend your decision. And anyone that says that you shouldn't just make it work, is not doing you any favors. Do they really think 200+ years ago, women wouldn't have been as equally confused and just made it work? Of course they would have! Your ability to make work what is very unclear is a majority of why I love these mystery pattern videos! Merry Christmas! I can't wait to see what next year's mystery patterns are!

If your finished sample is folded, it has the same pattern rows as the shawl in the picture. I don't know when triangles for shawls became common but squares that were folded to triangles in that period and before were very common.

I can’t believe only 2 left!!!! 😮❤ I have enjoyed this series so much!

The way you made it looks like a fancy version of a granny square. Very nice!

I agree - bedspread will be pretty❤ You can make it in one piece or, make squares and sew together!

I love vintage & antique knitting & crochet patterns - your videos are great! Have you ever considered putting a book together that talks about the difference in patterns, tools, and materials throughout the years? That needs to exist!

I loved the fact you are using Anne cotton yarn for this pattern, since I'm Brazilian and that's a very famous brand from Brazil! It's pronounced as the proper name "Anne", many yarns from this brand have feminine names. The brand name just means "circle" in portuguese. It was such a nice surprise. That yarn is really nice indeed. Love your videos.

Thank you for all your hard work. I am new to crochet 🧶 I was trying to learn what the stitches were & I found a video that said the names of each stitch. She said that the stitch you showed was the “extended double crochet stitch.” But, I think 🤔 that some people may call it one name & others call it something else. I am learning tons from from you. Vintage Crochet Mystery Patterns is A Stop 🛑 what you’re doing & plant 🪴 yourself to your channel…!

Yes, this is very pretty, and from what I just researched, your choice of yarn is the correct size. You also could have used a fingering or sock-weight yarn. Two other notes: Based upon the photos that I have access to, Victorians and Edwardians almost always created their shawls as a square or circle, and we them folding half for maximum warm. They also would large square shawls and use them as receiving blankets from babies, so you're desire to make this large enough to use as a bedspread isn't off the mark either.

I think I've unlocked a couple of possibilities using worsted weight yarn. I suggest Red Heart Super Saver as opposed to the Caron One Pound (my go-to); I chose this given the suggested hook sizes (the 5.5mm hook is ideal). Starting the 3rd round, I realized this is a lovely variation of the granny square, so it could be made into a throw, with all sorts of color options (it doesn't have to be one solid color). The only problem may be joining the squares, as this is clover-shaped. If you only work four rounds, you have yourself a mug rug, again with a range of color options. I got a kick out of the fact that you get a square in the middle, rather than the usual circle. I don't know how that happened, but I'm glad it did. Looking forward to Pattern #7!

I think "through both loops " as opposed to through back loop ! Lovely pattern !

I think it would be fun and interesting if you could find the patterns for the crochet things that Laura Ingalls Wilder mentioned in her books

O I just finished my very first shawl with the Long stitches as a boarder , so pretty.. Cant wait to visit 1985

Hello Corinna... I love your version, so much prettier than what was in the photo. Thank you for video 🧶🧶🧶

"You should already know what I mean" pattern - love it!

I love this long stitch!! I’m not a fan of trebles and sometimes they are too tall for what I want to do. Thank you, very few crocheters teach me as much as you.

I absolutely love the way you have crocheted it! It very much reminds me of an early virus blanket or maybe even a shells blanket.

now i have to see it made into bedspread.😂😂it looks cute as a shawl but im loving the idea more of it being made to be draped over a bed.

That "long stitch' is quite interesting. I'm not sure whether to think of it as a half-treble or a double-and-a-half. When I saw the illustration, I thought it looked cut off at the top. I wonder if it was meant to be worn folded, but they photographed it flat to show the stitches more clearly.

Don't know if anyone chimed in with this already, but I think when they say "through both loops of the stitch between the 6th and the 7th" -- they mean what we'd consider working the stitch as normal, i.e. through the top v of the stitch (the top "two" loops") and NOT just fully between the stitches like the shell/fan was. This would help "anchor" the singular double crochet better, maybe, and minimize bulk at the base of that stitch. The rest of the lone double crochets would be worked in our modern "normal way" too so it would match that pattern. I also agree that the shawl is worked in the round (square) and folded in half when worn - and the photograph looks cut off at about the halfway point, probably as other people observed to show off the stitches better!

I think you could make it anything you want it to be! Anway, it's gorgeous!

That's very pretty! I agree that it isn't a very pretty shawl. A worsted weight throw or a thinner bedspread - yes. I was never a fan of loose stitches in fine work, but that's because when I worked that loose it looked awful!!! Your work is very even! Heading over to see your changes! Thank you for an awesome tutorial!

I love your channel. ❤ I can't get enough. Your nails are lovely too. I love that your nails are dressed up in most of your videos. I am handicapped so I can't do anything with long nails. I would have finger crochet hooks if I had long nails, they would definitely get stuck in my yarn. 😂 I used to do my own nails but I kept getting scratches and I ended up with an infection from a scratch and my doctor told me it would be better if I trim my nails. At least I don't look like wolverine hugged me anymore. 😂

Be sassy! I love it! ❤

Sassy sassy 🤣 agree bed spread instead of shawl. Can’t believe that bowl down to one pattern left… bitter sweet 🧡

Made it to 70k!! I've seen it creep up every day, congrats!!

I laughed when I saw the picture. 😂 I do love yours more, too.

❤ I agree it would make a prettier bedspread or a throw for your couch or chair. It is very beautiful though. ❤😊

I love your idea it would make a beautiful bedspread

Very pretty - much prettier than the photo. Will have to try it.

I think a bedspread would be absolutely beautiful. Just continue repeat until you reach the size you want...or make a bunch of the pattern and connect. Oh this would be a beautiful tablecloth as well. So many different things that you can make with this. ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing. I love these mystery patterns. 😊

We now call the long crochet stitch an extended double-crochet.

Love that crochet bag for your hooks! Would you mind sharing where you purchased it?

Hello Corrina, I like this week's item made, even if you would prefer it to be a bedspread. I agree with you I think it would make a lovely bedspread also. Great job Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next one.

I love your story. The fact that time changes words. I love crochet. Thank you

The term shawl was also used for baby blankets such as christening blankets. So this pattern may be for that instead of what we perceive as a shawl now.

Looks kinda like a snowflake. Could use as a winter decor.😊

Feels like we're coming to the end of the first season of your Mystery Crochet Pattern show! It's been so fun, I hope it wasn't too annoying or took too much out of you to make. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love the idea of a bed spread. It would be beautiful.

I'd love to have it a bedspread. The shawl is weird. I've been doing a Turkish shawl pattern that uses lots of long double and treble stitches. I love them. The shawl is a bit complicated because it's a 10 row repeat. The tutorial is in a Turkish dialect (somewhat Arabic?).

The shawl picture plot twist at the end was amazing

It is a pretty granny square 😊

Wonderful work !!🥰

I think it 'us' folded into a Triangle. If you look at the long edge, on each side it is a bit straight, which is there because of the curve of the 'corners'. When folded, the two folded corners are a bit straight before coming down to the bottom. I had a shaw that was old and lacey, and it was to be folded in half or as a square just bunched a bit when wrapped around the neck... Hence a ""wrap". I would use a slightly heavier thread if making a bedspread. Either is beautiful !

The larger hook gives it a lacy look..looks great!!

Love your idea for bedspread.

I like it. I think it could be a lap "shawl".

Love your crochet hook case! I have the same one 🙂

these are fascinating. you narrate them so well too

I LOVE the sassiness 😍🥰🤩

I want that case

I liked it from the first round. Really pretty!

I really like it.

I think that is mean the loop between the stitches and not stitch, but you did end up doing it the way I assumed as well. I think it could be one of those couch shawls maybe, the one that was used at the top near where the head would be. But I like the curtain and duvet blanket better

I think I'm a little late to the party, but I just recently found your vintage crochet. I think it's fabulous that you are giving these antique patterns a try! I was curious about this long stitch at the beginning, but when you explained how to do it, I realized that the stitch you were using was the extended double crochet (I think the abbreviation is exdc). Apparently, this is a stitch that was lost for a while, then brought back. I've seen a lot of modern patterns using extended sc's, dc's and even a few extended tc's! I thought they were new stitches, but I guess not! Intriguing! As for working in rounds or rows: I was following the pattern closely, and one thing I did NOT see... it NEVER told you to turn your work. It also told you to join when you did row (round 1), but I didn't see any mention of joining after the first row (round). If the pattern had NOT said to join at the first round... then I would have assumed it would mean to work in rows. Because it DID say to join at the end of the first row (round) I initially thought it was meant to work in the round. It never mentions turning the work, but it also doesn't say to join (that I saw) after the first row (round). I also noticed it didn't actually tell you to make that first chain three at the beginning of each new row (round). I'm wondering how it would have turned out if you had not joined at the end of each row (round) and had turned to go back the other way. I have some thin yarn like that... I might play around with this a little, to see what I come up with. The one thing that puts it all into perspective, is the fact that the pattern distinctly mentions corners. Each row (round) has 4 corners, which leads me to believe it IS supposed to be worked in the round and joined at the end of each round. I think you are correct that it's supposed to be a triangular shawl that's folded in half. That's the only way I can see this pattern working, now that I take the time to think about it. I think it's a beautiful pattern! I think it would make a lovely, lacy tablecloth! Or, if you could figure out how to make it in rows, instead of in the round, you could turn into lacy curtains. You could even make two of them, sew up the sides, and make a beautiful overshirt to go over a tank top or camisole. I could even possibly see it as a lovely skirt, if you could figure out how to do the conversion. Such and intriguing pattern!

I just started learning again, my Aunt tried to teach me when I was young, since I was inspired by your channel. I’m going to try the 70s learner poncho.

your just wonderful thankyou so much

Lovely ❤

I wonder if it works up from the bottom too. I did a shawl similar a few years ago just like that, just a different pattern. Love your work! Everyday I look for new videos from you! Can you tell me where I can get both conversion table/books? Would love to get to get to know you better too 😉

I love the pattern your way. It's far nicer than the shawl. A couple of years ago I crochet a shawl that started like this but it never entered my head until I read some comments hear.

Oh, I am going to have to use that Edwardian Long stitch when I do my next virus shawl! I would be so lacy and pretty!

It took me 6 tries the first time I made a shawl. Sometimes it's weird making a gypsy moth for the first 6 rows. Still think crocheting fancy Barbie gowns is fairly tough. For moi. Many blessings ya'll for a precious n wonderful holiday season . Stay healthy and safe journeys. Sweet crochet deams yall. 😊

You did just fine. I do not get the loop around the finger. But it is what it is. I do not know if the issue is, at this size, I cannot properly see the corners as defined as the photo. The photo is too little for me to see the detail. But the pattern is wonderful. Easy and pretty. Very versatile as a little square or as a complete piece.

Your version is so much prettier. I agree. A bedspread would be lovely.

You may have addressed this on stream and I missed it, but it looks to me like they cropped the photo! You couldn't see the starting circle in the picture because it's cut off, and same with the top edge of the image -- you can't see the edge of the work as if it were worked into a triangle. It looks like they did work it in the round as a square, laid it flat for the photo, and then cropped the photo to show it as a triangle. I would guess you did it right, and they want you to fold it over to make a triangular shawl. You're right!

Is it possible that the pic above the pattern goes to a different pattern? You have books that mix it up like that.

I would like it to be a bedspread also . You should complete it. I want to see it finished. 😭 I am not advanced enough in crochet to be able to work this pattern yet.

I think it is folded in half. If you look at the top of the photo, the picture is only showing part of the rows. But I agree, it would make a great bedspread. May work on making blocks from the pattern,

Isn't this adorable?! I agree. It would be gorgeous even as a throw!

I like yours much better than the picture 😊

Very beautiful pattern, I like your idea of a bedspread but I think I would use it on an entry table as a xtra large doily! I was hoping you were going to finish out the second repeat of rows then do the border stitches. Guess im gonna have to make one now! (lol)

Hi I love jour channel when you wondered if this pattern should be worked in round or row I think you will find very old shawls were worked in the round and folded when worn as I have bought some from second hand stores over the years the more modern one were made as triangles I think

Don’t feel bad, I get sassy with my parents too. They always seem to forgive me.

I agree with you. This would make a great bed spead. I did not care for the shawl....

Is this an incomplete pattern? ❤❤❤ these! ❤ U 2

My house is dated from 1906. Cool.

I can see doing a poncho in this style. 2 big squares sewn together, I guess you can repeat this almost ndless. I can see working it with thicker yarn and hook 9 or 10 maybe 12.

Whatever 🤷‍♂️ Beautiful pattern! 💓

I like the "of course".....as if we should all know what this person is talking about!

More like fingering yarn. I found a round wooden spoon handle works good for wrapping around it to make the circle,

Good job, I kept trying to tell you no when you were getting mixed-up. Like you can hear me, LOL. 😅

Is someone using a typewriter in the back ground. I hear that sound in all your videos

Just keepin it real! 😉

I think this pattern would work beautifully in the round or rows. Personally, I think you have the pattern correct and that part of the picture is cut off and not showing the entire piece. Great job with figuring this one out.

I have had a square shawl that was folded in half.

I hope you finish the bed spread and let us see the result❤

I love finding typos in old patterns. Have one from the 70s or 80s that says to k2 when it should be a k1. The lace patterns would’ve been screwed up if I had followed it how it was written. Makes me want to time travel and talk to someone else following the same patterns to see if they had the same trouble.. wouldn’t that be cool?

Very nice stitch pattern! Many of the shawls I have made start in a ring, but they go back and forth in rows, instead of making rounds. I am curious now. I think I am going to have to try it to see if it would make a shawl shape.

💟

Resembles a cross between a granny square anf the virus blanket

The second round of stitches I believe you were to turn and put the stitches of the second round between those stitches you had just worked. A good way to see the pattern is to enlarge you picture on your computer!

In order to save space in the magazine, they edited the picture to just show half of the shawl. I would believe that he shall is square and is a fancy granny square (like I saw others already say). This is fun! But I can see myself getting frustrated not knowing what the designer meant. 😂

The picture looks like it is rrally folded in half on the diagonal to turn the sqiare into a triangle. I think they only put a picture of half instead of it being folded in half because it would be too messy to show it folded over for real in the picture. In that era, shawls were mostly squares and rectangles folded into other shapes as needed. The bustle on the back of their dresses made square shawls easier to work with. It also allows for shawls to be made warmer or lighter by folding in half or wearing as one layer.

I dunno, whoever wrote this pattern snapped one way or another. Those directions! XD ETA: I set playback speed to 1/4 to see the yarn name, and Corinna, you sound really funny drunk. 😂 I mean it, try it, it's hilarious.

Youre nails are gorgeous did you do them yourself? And how do you get them like that?

I really like your crochet hook case!! May I ask where did you get that?

It means do it through the top of the stitch not through the space. When you do that you work under two threads

Hi Corinna, I enjoyed how you worked this out and it made sense though it doesn’t look like the picture right?
