Using an Antique Crochet Pattern | The Perfect History Bounding Sweater

Рет қаралды 21,361

Жыл бұрын

Wearables are my favorite things to crochet, and I’m always on the lookout for cute sweater patterns. I’m also a big fan of historybounding, so imagine my delight when I came across this crochet sweater pattern from 1917! I thought it would look just as cute with a pair of jeans as it would a full WWI-era outfit. The pattern seems easy enough at first glance, so it can’t be too hard to make…right?

imo jumpers and cardigans (maybe even some jackets) are the best pieces for historybounding, they have all come back in style so much over and over again they're truly timeless at this point

@stitchnfiction Жыл бұрын

Agreed! They're really easy to mix and match with more modern pieces as well.

The animation for the construction types was *chef's kiss* perfecto! Visualizing the construction of a pattern is NOT an easy thing to convey. This is why me and amigurumi are not as close of friends as I would like -_-'. I watched the whole video but that moment alone was worth the subscribe. BRAVO!

You have put soooooo much time into getting this to look that great-it’s at least a $767.22 garment 😂 It looks great on you! I used a bamboo/cotton mix a few months ago and it simply drapes perfectly; the only down side is it being sans any wool it’s not for the worst winter months. A Spring and Fall sweater; with that color it looks like Fall😁I hope you enjoy it for many seasons-Great Job❣️❣️

@stitchnfiction Жыл бұрын

Thank you! ☺️ Yes, the bamboo/cotton totally wins for drape, but definitely not for freezing temps - I found it works great with a long-sleeved layer underneath.

OMG, I;m so glad I'm not the only one who gets more than half way done, (i.e 90% done) decides I don't like how the project is turning out, and pulls/frogs it all out. Better to start over than have an unsatisfactory finished project.

@stitchnfiction Жыл бұрын

Exactly! Also, the yarn is too expensive to waste, so if I don't like the finished project I'll end up frogging it in the future anyway to repurpose the yarn 😅

Columbia Book of Yarns, 1917? Tried 1906 Columbia Kimono--splity yarn, too small, etc., weird armhole construction, gave up. Yeah, I know. At least you made it thru. Good going, congrats!

@GodsOath_com Жыл бұрын

If your gauge is too large, you can alternate hook sizes as you go. I am mixing two fingering weights, very different, one tight, one loose, wool, vs alpaca. With the alpaca I use a larger hook for the center granny, and change to a smaller hook for the last rows, makes the gauge the same as the smaller hook for one wool granny. I realize you're making clothing, but I think using a larger hook size in the hip and changing to a smaller hook at the wait might help you.

@sdmcdaniel2255 Жыл бұрын

Nicely done on the sweater! It looks really comfortable. I was curious, so I took a look at the pattern you found, and I am curious about something. The pattern calls the stitch pattern the Blockstich. But that's not the blockstich that we have today. I tried to reason out how to create the blockstich pattern from that crochet pattern, and I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Could you maybe do a tutorial on the stitch you used for the pattern?

@stitchnfiction Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I do plan to make a stitch tutorial at some point, as you're not the only who's asked. ☺️ In the meantime, the best way I can describe it is like a sideways puff stitch. Instead of inserting your hook in the next stitch to make your loops, you make them around the post of the previous stitch.

yesterday i came across a picture on pinterest sayin "your [knitting] needle should be yay big" with a black dot beside it to shove your needle through , it's so adorable but you'd have to have the original book and be willing to hurt it in such a manner, sad (i guess you could use a needle gauge and see which one it corresponds to)
