The Ultimate Crochet Mystery: what will this 1846 Crochet Pattern be?? ( Mystery # 1) 

LOL

@@justvintagecrochet , im still working on this too, 👀! Watch n re- watch, do n do over! 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

😂

wow! that is so talented!! and thank you so much, I can't wait to make more mystery patterns :)

My grandma could figure out how to crochet anything just looking at a picture, too. Amazing! I can figure out a lot, but it helps to have a pattern or the object on hand to reference, and even then I'll likely tear my heart out trying 😂 This is such a fun project!

@@justvintagecrochet I was taught to crochet by my grandmother that did not know how to read directions. She also would look at a peice and then crochet it. After about 6 months of letting me do this (I lived in Texas, MY grandmother lived in Mississippi.)following my grandmothers visit to Texas My mother proceded to teach me to crochet by reading directions, no photo, (because she knew what I might try to do). What I didn't know was after I went to bed (I was only 7 at the time) my Mother would crochet a few steps ahead of me so if I asked for help she would know what was up comming. In the end I can crochet by looking at a photo, the item or reading the directions. My grandmother and my mother have long since passed away and I am now 70 and I still crochet. When I was 8 one of my cousins' Grandmother taught me to knit while she was in Texas with the cousins. I still knit but after she left I had no one to continue instructing me so I never went any further, but I can still knit .... kinda, I make rectangle scarves and larger rectangle shaws and even larger rectangle blankets/throws.

@@michellejaggard9657 That's amazing! I've been crocheting since I was 5 or so and I taught myself to knit several years ago by reading patterns and watching a lot of RU-vid tutorials. Once I started knitting in the round, I became obsessed and now I usually have at least one sweater cast on my needles at any given time. I don't think I could knit without a pattern, though.

@@AllTheHappySquirrels I knit and crochet as well, but I learned to knit first as a kid - I've always found crochet much easier to "fudge" and still come out with a similar result, even if I don't completely understand the instructions. I think it's because if you skip a stitch in crochet, it's usually not very noticeable. If you skip a stitch in knitting, you've suddenly got a ladder all the way down your work!

oh my gosh!! that is soo stinking clever :)

@@justvintagecrochet My understanding if the directions would have had me doing a straight line as well.

I have some pattern book left to me by my aunts. There are more directions, but still very confusing. I’m amazed my aunts were able to make the beautiful things they did with these patterns.

Oh I wish we could post pictures on here that sounds lovely

Well, that really was a journey of discovery, you’re so clever to be able to do this, I wouldn’t have a clue lol

oh, it totally will be :)

Yea.😊, l hope this will be a series also. I enjoy trying to figure out what the finished item is.

This is totally frustrating, but I LOVE it.😊👍

oh indeed! , it did not say Doilly :)

That was my thought all along. A chignon cover.

you ain't kiddn' ! , made me appreciate all other patterns more :)

yay! Thank you :)

Very true! and Thank you :)

thank you so much :)

Love to hear a fine young gentleman helping out his momma. Appreciate your time sir ✊😃

I agree with your take on #5. After seeing the title I think the name scollop works well without the last row. Lost it trying to subscribe.

Thank you so much!

Exactly!! and thank you :)

Hi Carol! I'm also a knitter (crochet too) and Love vintage patterns and want to knit some. Where do you find them? My mother had some books that I have but not many. So nice to know I'm not the only one who adores vintage! I concur, what to do with them all when they're done?🤔Please if you could post some photos of your work; I'll do the same somewhere. We should create a Vintage site of our recreations😁 It'd be great to see them all, now made in the 21st century! Sincerely, Nancy

Wow you are amazing. Just deciphering those things is hard!

@@Padraigp Well, thank you! (blush)

I'm both, a crochet and a knitter, and I like to watch Enginnering Knits, sometimes she has videos about Vintage Knitting methods and she actually uses a loom, not like loom knitting hut a hard-core loom machine and tells you how to use it. I find that very inspiring. I hope that helps your journey.

I thought that too! :)
