Last stitch but one is an old fashioned way of saying next to last. In other words second stitch from the hook.

Using the wrong thread is part of the mystery, imo. It's fun to see it worked up too big or too small.

The way I'm interpreting the stitch guide is its the same stitch but it's called a slip stitch when it's into a chain and it's called a single crochet when you work in a previous row

I think you need to write a book of all the patterns ‘translated’ with pictures of the finished product. Maybe a mystery pattern book with the pictures at the end. Would be fun. That said, we can also crochet along with you and experiment at the same time. That is much fun to watch you.

I love listening and watching…problem is, I’m sitting here crocheting a completely different project while I listen, that requires a lot of counting! Lol 😆…. 13, 14, 6, 7, 8…. Haha

I quitted see several KZfaq channels, because i don’t agree the knitters just speak about their items. Only a few of them share their knowledge. Thank you for being so generous. ❤

I'm not making your mystery pattern along with you, but I am working a vintage filet project. While you fuss with what's going on in yours, I'm encouraged to keep fussing about what's going on in mine. Two thumbs up.👍👍

In my book it doesn't really matter if you've got the exact thickness of thread/yarn, it's what the pattern LOOKS LIKE that's more important.

An explanation of knitting silk 300 and all the hints can be found in the library of congress. It's an interesting read.

Applied History to solve Scooby Mysteries. I fully enjoy your videos.

I think maybe the slip stitch is a foundation chain. So chain two, insert the needle into the first chain, draw yarn through both loops and keep going for the required amount of stitches

the yarn I sent makes another appearance!!! the blue bamboo yarn was sent by me!!! 😁😁😁 so awesome, and the video is great !!!!!

😂🤣 I'm dying, at all the figuring out of thread/yarn, hooks and the stitch mistakes. So entertaining and relatable lol

I just love that your son does this for you(/us!) 🤗

I think you're correct about that not being the same hat in the picture. There's an old photograph of me at 3 years-old and my dad was holding me, and my hat looked very much like the one you made.

I am so impressed with your tenacity and sleuth work. I agree with you on every point. Turned out beautiful.

I think a lot of the confusion that comes with reading the patterns is trying to automatically put it in modern terms. You have been crocheting for some time, so your brain seems to start making conversions very quickly. I am new to crochet, so when I read these patterns alond with you, I am making no assumptions about what the pattern means, but reading exactly what it states. I approach all patterns this way, because it seems that every pattern maker has their own way of doing things and explaining them. I also do this with knitting patterns, after getting far into a project and realizing the pattern maker did not work the stitch in "the usual" way. With all that being said, I highly enjoy the mental gymnastics that you go through. You randomly popped up on my feed, and now I am a fan!

I am always amazed how you are able to follow these old patterns with success. It is a talent that I will never have. And, you make it so much fun to watch.❤

I so love, "I almost lost my hook in the crack of the couch". Lol. These old patterns are written so complicated the way they are written.

That picture is of a very different bonnet pattern. You followed the pattern as well as anyone could. Great job. Your work is adorable!

Cute baby bonnet and most definitely not the one pictured. If I were to recreate the pattern I would begin with a magic ring rather than the chain ring.

I like your version better. That would be cute to finish all in the round and turn into a beret or snood.

Catching up on your videos and vlogs today. I've missed you! Not sure if you've discovered this "trick" on your own, but I've learned that to research almost any topic I can type ">insert general name of topic< reference library" withoout any punctuation and almost always find something useful. Public and private collections on the topic you are researching will often even be digitized, with the materials free to browse or even download. I've found a lot of vintage and antique knitting and crochet patterns this way. Hope you are doing well. Hugs! ETA: I think you nailed it with the yarn selection here!

Well the book may have mixed up but you followed the pattern and got another beautiful, vintage! treasure ❤️

Your determination is commendable and the result is cute. But I would have loved to have seen your original try completed, doll size or not. 😊 It had that gorgeous Victorian dolly vibe that was so adorable.

Totally agree the picture is NOT the pattern. Your interpretation is MUCH SWEETER and beautiful

Never boring Corrina, always something to learn together at your mental expense. 🤗❤️❤️

Your bonnet was so much prettier than the one on the picture! And there is NO WAY that picture was that pattern!! I thought you did an excellent job of translating it! 💙

One of my favorite things about crochet videos is hearing people repeatedly count. I know, it annoys some people. Not me, I love it! Just watching you go "1, 2, 3, 4" and then "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" is so incredibly relaxing. I'm crocheting with #30 thread at the moment and it's kind of a mindless crochet where I don't need to count. But I like hearing the count while I crochet because it helps me keep pace. Otherwise I just get too distracted. But then you said "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...no, 4..." and without thinking I took out my own stitch right along with your chain 😂

your patience is more than I could stand personally.

I love how we all read them differently xD I would have done 8 rows of increases before the next lot. I love how neat your stitches are!

The stitch descriptions are - naturally - rather old-fashioned. Re the slip stitch, "the last stitch but one" means the second-to-last stitch, so you were right to insert the hook through the second stitch from the hook. Such a pretty colour.

I started a new job and have been nervous and anxious. I found this series and I started watching them, while at work, and they’ve helped me stay calm. Thank you for taking time to do these videos!

It is beautiful! And if you made it larger and worn it like the wig, as you showed us, it could be worn like a flapper hat. Thanks for showing your process to work through the pattern.

I prefer your bonnet to theirs, you did an excellent job! And no, I don't believe for a second that the picture and the pattern match up. That must have been just as frustrating back then as it is today. Working with the picture handy would have made me angry; imagine following the pattern while looking at something you're not re-creating, and not knowing how to correct it. I would have chucked it during the scallop round. I enjoyed the video, thank you for it! Side note: as you recall, I had a birthday early last month. I joked with my boss, saying that nobody crocheted me anything, after all the many things I made for them last year. I wasn't expecting them to, but it would have been nice. Six soutache bags in July alone...

I’m glad you shared your process but I probably would have just kept going with the first thread and said it was for a doll.

I L♡VE this idea!! It's like a cross btwn Nancy Drew and Little House on the Prarie😬 So interesting, because these vintage techniques are what brought us to today's advancements.👏👏👏

I think they have sewn some ribbon onto the bonnet to decorate it and you have done it perfectly! X

Try adding commas. I think it will help clarify the instructions.

What a tough pattern to try and follow. The photo of that bonnet is definitely not the one that the directions described. Yours is prettier. Great job on completing this pattern.

10 out of 10 for perseverance 🎉you have the patience of a Saint 👏

These stitch descriptions make my head spin.

The slip is reading as one loop, and the other slip is pulling through both loops. Also since its right after the chain explanation, most likely its using the single loop on the back of the chain.

I just found this today. Now I have something else to watch and maybe make whatever it is your making. Awesome !!

vielen herzlichen Dank für deine Mühe und Arbeit, es hat dich wahrscheinlich gestresst/genervt - aber das Ergebnis ist wunderschön geworden, ich konnte von dir lernen - never give up!

This is how I am with every pattern I do. Lol welcome to my world

Your bonnet look like a photo I have seen. It`s from the correct time.

Last but one stitch means the penultimate stitch. It's not an old fashioned term, people in the UK use the phrase pretty commonly.

I don’t find your frustration humorous but your commentary for this one was the best! I giggled practically the whole time.

I love your inquiry process. Plus you are a magician with these hooks. Very enjoyable to watch and gorgeous results

I'm not really concerned about whether or not the final product is made with the exact right yarn or hook. The general idea of the end result will be pretty close to the same regardless. But I do appreciate you including your efforts to figure those kinds of things out, because that is definitely part of the mystery of these vintage patterns. Thanks so much for all of the work and energy you put into these!!

I love hearing you think aloud as you work out these patterns blind. Thanks for sharing your explorations; it's intriguing and entertaining!

I just found your channel and it’s very entertaining. I now understand why people had a hard time reading patterns back in the day. I will continue to enjoy your channel and maybe one day try vintage Pattern.

I love the vintage patterns. It’s an era I would have loved to learn to crochet in only. 😊

The slip stitch they describe sounds like how I was taught to do decreases.

I give you a lot of credit for your perseverance! Encourages me to not give up when I don't understand instructions! It's a beautiful little bonnet!

It turned out beautiful and I like the yarn you used.

"Right" or "wrong" honestly don't matter too much IMO, the result is beautiful!

Corrina, you did really well here. I would finish and keep the little bonnet. I find the pattern really interesting. Have you thought about putting together a project book? You’ve brought the pattern forward to modern times. Love these mystery projects.

gppd job! it looks very similar to one I saw in the museum

I love the way your brain works. I have never watched one of your videos without learning something 👏thank you 😊x

Agree with you follow correct pattern sentences on these notes while you made the crochet child’s silk head. The vintage picture of bonnet was advertised by idea publishers not take any photo from crochet creative people in 1885.

Bamboo is so nice and soft for a baby bonnet even if it splits alot.

i wish i could talk to you while you were doing this because reading the sentence about slip stitch i think “the last stitch but one to the needle” is one phrase meaning the same way we would skip a stitch when turning a foundation chain

I just enjoyed watching this again and I agree completely. That picture is not that pattern, but I love your version better. I'm going to try to adult size it for myself. Thanks again.😊

This one was such a wild ride! You worked so hard on it, and I think it turned out great.

You know might be fun? If someone crochets a little bowl or bag holder for the mystery pattern numbers. I feel like the Tupperware bowl is too modern to do this justice!

Oh well done, you are amazing and extremely patient. Thank you for everything you do ❤

Amazing how a missing comma can completely throw one off!

It is so much fun watching you figure this pattern out in real time even tho you FF through the rounds to the next round.

You did amazing! I like how it turned out. I was biting my nails on this one and would have given up. Great job!!!

Very pretty bonnet. What ever you way you crocheted it, it is very nice!

They are saying the "slip stitch" is in fact a slip stitch, but they are differentiating it as a stitch on the edge of work (in a chain) vs in the body. "A chain being made (as in being already made up), the hook is inserted into the las stitch but one to the needle (insert into the 2nd to last stitch-as in turning)' and draw the through the stitches. Gotta love these old pattern books.

Beautiful bonnet, Corinna! I love it!❤️🧶

This was an interesting one, in that the bits that really threw you in the stitch term instructions were ‘English’ English, that just made perfect sense to me. I so wanted to be there with you to read it in my accent so it would make sense when read out loud. It was a two brain pattern!

You are right, the directions do not match the picture. What you worked up looks very much like anyone else would come up with if they used that pattern. I call your bonnet a success! Good job figuring out the thread and hook sizes! Thanks for keeping me company while I am working on finishing up my project! ❤❤❤

10:40 “last but one” = second from hook. The slip stitch described is the first row, working into the chain “a chain being made”. The SC is when you have a *previous row* to work into. We now call them the same.

I think when the pattern says “any pretty lace,” it’s suggesting you sew some lace to the crocheted piece. That would account for the diamond section and the other section near the end. Not sure if that’s the case though. Who knows with these ancient patterns. Fun video! I’ll be back to watch more. Thanks!

The bonnet on the yarn is so funny.

It’s a very beautiful bonnet! You did very well!

I think their single crochet is a slip stitch that moves across the project, like a granny square, but the one called a slip stitch goes back into the previous stitch made. one goes forward and then other goes back.

hiya corinna~ jeepers, you get a gold star for your tenacity. i'd be in tears or it would be thrown across the room! your version is beautiful 😁😁😁

I love these videos. I’m a beginner at crochet, and I’ve honestly learned from watching you go through the process. I appreciate that you let us see when you have to fix something. I feel like I’m constantly unraveling. 😊

😂 you make me laugh, I am so glad I found your channel.

I do crochet in English and U.S terms. But for UK single crochet you have 2 loops on the hook and draw another piece of yarn through both loops. A UK double you yarn over first then insert and pull up a 3rd loop then pull through twice.

For the bell gague: I don't know if this has been brought up yet. I've also been having to do a lot of research on (the painful lack of consistency across) historic thread and hook/needle sizes. One thing I did discover is that for the outside parts of the bell gague, you don't measure by the circle bit but by the skinnier parallel line part. (gotta love how confusing that is) Still watching the video, so it may come up before the end. Really excited to see the rest, though!!!

I think you did a fantastic job figuring it out. Any pretty edging would finish it up.

I honestly prefer your bonnet turned out so much prettier than the picture. I love this channel. And I hope you didn't find me off the cuff yesterday when I asked if you were ok. It wasn't coming from a bad place. Have a wonderful night.

Good job! I can't imagine how difficult it would be to read the pattern, that goes with that picture! Interesting concept, you've earned another sub!

I got "hooked" on your videos with the fleur de lis bag and it was so beautiful! You've inspired me to pick up vintage crochet. This bonnet is beautiful! At the end when it looks like there are missing finishing stitches- I remember seeing the end of the pattern at the beginning of the video that read "any lace crochet pattern" to finish. Just like finishing the bead bag with any fringe or no fringe - the patterns seem to let the maker complete the project how they might like to personalize. Though, I don't know any lace patterns - I would finish with loose treble stitches for a lace effect. ❤

Liebe ist das größte was es gibt wir im Herzen tragen ! IHR SEIT WUNDERBAR ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome cute baby bonnet. Well done as usual Corinna. ❤

I agree with you on standard USDA stitches.

Okay, it may be my tism acting up or maybe one of my ancestors whispering to me, but in my interpretation of the slip stitch / single crochet situation the last part of the slip stitch description is the explanation: "repeat from star to star till end of row". That means to me: we just finished the last row and now want to slip stitch. So we make a chain stitch, then we insert the hook in the last stitch but one to the needle (that would be the second to the hook), and draw the thread through the two stitches. That's our first slip stitch. Now we start from the first star again, chain one, slip stitch, chain one, slip stitch,..., till the end of the row. So in other words: a slip stitch fastens a chain stitch to the last row, a single crochet is just worked as a simple, flat crochet stitch on its own.

Great job! It is a cute Bonnet! Thank you for another Beautiful pattern!

You did follow the pattern, I agree that the photo doesnt match. Your bonnet/hood is very pretty!

Knitting silk 300 is what they made stockings out of. Equivalent to a 3 silk yarn or close. You can still buy it in England.

I think it's beautiful and prefer what you did to the picture. Someone slipped up when constructing the book. That makes it a true mystery. 😂 You did a great job.

I am so glad u r bk, mistakes and all ❤.. I only found 0300 thread online

It is a lovely child’s hood.
