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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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"? 😂

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.

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

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

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.

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 ❤️

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

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

Groovy.

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

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

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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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

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

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

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!

I like it! It be great for camping.

These videos really never get boring

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

It looks cute.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

My first time watching. It was fun!

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

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 ❤

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

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

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!

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

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

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. 😜

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

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

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! 😍🧕

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

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!

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.

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

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

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!!!

You're so funny. Thanks for making me laugh out loud.🤣🤣❤️

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

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

Hahahaha at the end the dog was looking at you as if to say….mum, what have you got on?? 😂

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!✨️💖✨️

❤ 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/KZfaq 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. 🥰)

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

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.

Oh boy, another adventure.

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 ☺️

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

The wig is gorgeous

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 ❤

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

This was a fun video 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The scarf looks good on you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰

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!

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! ❤️

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

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

I just found you! I love this vintage pattern!

These projects are so fun, thank you for your effort in sharing with us.

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

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

This is my first time watching your videos and I think you’re hilarious! I love your humor and watching you work. Automatic sub!

Absolutely love it❤ it is supposed to be that big. You did an amazing job 🎉

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. 🦋

When I was very young, about 60 years ago, my mother had "head warmers" that I used to wear. They were like these and tied under the chin, like two in the picture wore. They were also rectangular. All I know is that my mother didn't make them!! Now, I'll learn. Thanks.

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!❤

She probably had a lot of "teased hair" going on underneath 😀. Long live the 60's! Thanks much❤

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

The mystery patterns are great to see what it look likes when it is finished. Thank you!

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

It will soften and lay better after washing. I love this!

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!

I'm from the sixties and big yarns were in and I don't recall ever seeing a doily. Anywho, don't stop your much appreciated. Luv & hugs...❤

What an amazing video. Its the first time I've ever seen you thank you. How you actually made sense of all that i don't know lol. I love your pretty nails x 👏🥰🧶💅

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.

Yayyy another mystery pattern 🥳🥳🥳

I love this idea! It's fun to see what develops as you crochet. I have many retro crochet magazines/books and I struggle with following written patterns. This is so helpful! ❤

Noo, you look so cute! You'd get so many compliments. ❤

It's definitely a success! And your wig looks wonderfully natural. I have a friend who would so rock this look! I think I'll make it with thinner yarn and different colors for her. Thanks for all you do!

😂😂😂😂 Corina. You made my day. It was so funny.
