What makes your mystery crochet videos so much fun (besides trying to figure out what the pattern is) is talking back to the screen trying to figure out the pattern stitches with you.
I figured it out ! Just leave no spaces between the picots and Voila! You have definitely taught me to never give up Corinna . You have created a monster in me 🤪🤣
I was crying watching you remove that second round over and over again. 😂 And kept telling the screen; “No! You had it right the first time. Don’t stooppppp!!” I have only recently found this page but I’ve learnt so much about old patterns. It’s been incredibly fascinating. Thanks for struggling through this for us! And thanks to your son for picking out such a fun pattern.
Before it was a "hashtag" it was a "pound" sign, and before that it was called a tic-tac-toe sign. But, to everyone's delight, the star for *69 has always just been called a star! It's a beautiful snowflake doily. Your nails looked great! Love & hugs
Star and Asterisk, to me, have always been interchangeable. I can appreciate that it's not the same for everyone, however what surprised me was that you didn't seem to notice or question the asterisk/blob!
Does your son crochet? That's how I learned, I had knee surgery and my mom came down to help me and she was crocheting. I asked her how she did that, she showed me how to make a chain and I 've taken off from there. I just wish I could hold my yarn like you do. But I have a blast. Thanks to UA-cam and people like you. I love your videos. My sister tells her friends that her brother is the Rainman of crochet. Cause I'm constantly crocheting. I just call it yarning. I love it and it is VERY relaxing. Thanks for the great videos. I have an old book my sister gave me. Dainty Work for Pleasure and Profit. I'm sure you've seen it. Very interesting and beautiful patterns. Thanks again. Dan
OH I'd love to do this now but I've just started the 1865 timeless shawl. What a fantastic design this mystery pattern is. I wish I could keep up with your out put. Who else is in a crochet at snails paces group. 🐌🧶
That shawl is fantastic! I'm currently finishing off the 1864 pelerine. I'm more of a 'crochet at lightning speed ignoring food, drink and other needs' kinda person. Helps that I only just started digging into crochet as a hobby and I'm SO excited. But I think your approach is better - slow and relaxing, not breakneck speed and back pain inducing!
I absolutely love, love, love this mystery pattern segment of your channel. Honestly, I love all of your content, primarily because I love your personality! You’re so honest and genuine. I love your struggles and humor in figuring out (or not lol) some of these old written patterns.
Ok ive just gotta say, that the idea of ladies trying to figure out vintage patterns together is a awesome idea. I love it. Praise Jesus! Have a blessed day.
I've been yelling at the screen for ten minutes "repeat from star is the asterisk!!". 😂 Pausing the video for a minute while hoping it dawns on you...I SO want it to so you can take a breath and not be frustrated.
I'm 75 and learned to crochet in 1963 at age 14. I seem to remember an asterisk being referred to as a star back then. But I could be totally wrong, lol. Now you know why I gave up trying to follow vintage patterns even then. I was teaching myself to crochet from the little 10 cent book had been given by my mother at the time. She had never learned to crochet but had said I think that my grandmother who had crocheted did call it a star. My grandmother had died when I was 11. She blind so never told me anything about crochet. But mom had given me her grandma's hooks when I was 14 and wanted to try from the book. That book covered embroidery, crochet, think knitting and tatting. My dream was tatting which my mother learned from my grandfather who was a master tatters. But she never succeeded in teaching me because she would not slow down when showing me the movements. I finally learned to tat from a book that came out in the 90s with good pictures. Also from Georgia Seitz who taught many of us to tat online in the 90s and later. I have a hand injury along with essential tremor which now prevent me from tatting. I made doilies from the magic crochet magazines. But I gave up on vintage patterns even when they had pictures with them, lol.
@@Anne5440_ I'm 65 and I too, for a very long time, called an asterisk a 'star'. I love tatting. I tried to learn while watching someone doing it but it wasn't something I managed to master. I love to do patterns in vintage/old books. Thank you for the tip on Georgia Seitz. I found her on UA-cam.
These are so fun to watch!! I love your creative mind at work. I was telling you the whole time how I thought to work the pattern and that the word star was for the asterick!!
I found you about 3 weeks ago maybe, I’ve watched almost every single video. I’ve been crocheting off and on about 40 years (I’m 47) I’ve NEVER been able to read a pattern like you do but watching you I’ve learned sooooooo much. Just wanted to say thank you❤❤
I’m so glad mystery crochet is back! I love these segments! A question: has anyone here ever picked apart an old piece of crochet to figure out the pattern?
Not picked apart, figured out! I was on holiday in a B&B in the Cotswolds and I had a feverish cold & could not sleep. They had crochet coasters with peaked edges under nick-knacks all over the house. I was up all night working out how to do that pattern especially the peaks. Long before the days of mobile phones with cameras, so I have no photos but somewhere, in one of my many pattern notebooks, are the notes I kept as I was working out the pattern.
I used a 3chain picot and it fit quite nicely, I'm overlooking the star issue as I just call them blobs. Very pretty and perfect for my new coffee table.
Star meant the *(asterisk) I believe. That way it makes a little more sense. Idk. I am no good at reading patterns. I need the pictures. I do the symbol patterns pretty well. You are so good at this even during your confusion. 💚💚💚 Sure missed you girl! Good job Justin picking this one out. It was definitely a mystery.
I love the Mystery Patterns! Keep them going! I’m checking all the time to see when your next video is posted! I have a question. You mentioned you knew you had to Turn. Where does it say that in the pattern. The diagram does not seem to show any rows with the backs of the stitches showing. It looks like right side facing for all rows to me.
So happy for the mystery patterns to be back. I was confused when you got the picture, then it clicked why it was because I have that very pattern. Over the past few weeks, I have searched for 1880s doiley and other patterns. I worked on the ones I liked in Publisher and then saved them as a PDF, Another Wheel Pattern is one of them.
O how i love mystery crochet time! So many laughs, great patterns too I think the picot things youre doing: the chain IS the bump, chain 4 and make the loop with that chain
I feel it looks bigger because you used thicker thread and bigger wand = hook. I also would have used the stiffer thread so it will hold the true shape. I love what you do seriously. Im learning so much ❤ thank you ❤
I figured out row 3, I counted the sc as stitch 1 as well as the join stitch, so technically the first chain is the 2nd stitch..I then put (1) 4 cluster in each of the spaces made by the 3 clusters in round 2 , then my chain 3 took me to next space. Worked out beautifully
After you got the picture, I liked, ok enjoyed that you redid it. 🤔...I think if you used a #10 thread for a dolly it maybe have cooperated with you. 😉
I think the confusion over the repeat arises from the way the pattern is worded: "repeat from the star, twice more", I think means: "repeat from the * (asterisk), twice more".
Ah bless you! I felt so bad that you were trying so hard to find the star 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. It’s so typical that sometimes we just miss the obvious. Happens all the time to me! But you kept going 💪
It’s like you could hear me at the end of the video. When you were unsure about what you were doing compared to the pic, I said Just keep trying. Then you said out loud, just keep going. 😂 I love your videos and your perseverance!
you seemed to convince yourself that it was to be a square and so from that point you tried to make the instructions fit making a square amd thus making your confusion greater! 😄
You've said before that you frog some of the mystery crochet patterns after you film but it would be kinda fun to see all the different ways you interpret the pattern as you figure it out all lined up at the end. it would waste so much yarn tho.
Oh my gosh! First, I am so excited to have new videos from you! Yea! 2nd... I got the pattern right! I did it! It's the 1st time! When I, Finally, got the picot, mine looked too big, too! After I watched the end of your video, I tried the picots going into the 1st ch. It was better that way but I still didn't like it that much. I did like actually figuring out a mystery pattern! 🤣❤️🧶
I can’t tell you how I have missed you and your vintage patterns. I don’t care if they’re right, wrong or indifferent. You do a beautiful job in whatever you do because you are entertaining and bring joy to us watching you. And I have missed your sweet gentle voice.
This was the first time I actually made the pattern myself before seeing the picture. I didn't nail it but got close! I think the illustration of the finished product from the book shows that I should have lifted the treble crochets higher, which would have made the picot chains seem closer to the clusters, but I treated them like bauble stitches instead. I really like this one!❤
This is my first time watching you do a mystery pattern. I hope he gives you the picture that goes with it! Between my mother, myself and my 2nd mother in law I have a nearly complete set of workbasket magazines.
Yeah Your back !! We r back !! Mystery Patterns r back !! I have missed this so much !! You did good trying to figure it out,,, nice try !! Thank You !!
I was so close. I did 2 groups instead of three in round 2. Still ended up with something nice. But I think I'll rework it like the picture. Good effort. Look forward to the next one.
I'm thinking that it might be your material, so I am going to try this with a size 10 thread and see what happens. I'm so glad you chose to figure these out for us. Keep up the good work!
it lookes like the ones my grandma made...she just crochet the picots on to the squares, but if that would do the trick i don't know. I love seeing these mystery patterns :)
Love your content! After watching like 10h of your videos I found nyself today download an pattern crochet book from 1908 and started on a shawl! 10 tries later i have got the start correct 😂
That was quite a ride! I thought it was cute the way you made it square honestly 🤷🏾♀️ one of these days, I'll try the mystery along with you and see if we end up with the same thing 😂
If you look at the image, those picots seem to have three chains in them, with the sc going into the first chain made of the four. Can't explain what's written about "the second", but it would be worth a try perhaps
It’s been interesting to note how terminology and conventions in pattern writing have changed over time watching these videos, it’s kind of funny how a perfectly familiar pattern convention screwed you up by using a single word differently. It’s a good reminder that things that seem obvious to you aren’t always as obvious as you think they are.
Yay you're back for 2024 another year of Msytery patterns. Well done Corinna pn todays Mystery pattern. This pattern was hurting my head haha Your a gem sweetheart... ❤😊
I love your videos, I've been learning to crochet for about a month and your mystery patterns are really fun and helping me understand all the pattern lingo!
You tried your best and gave it all your hard work. I agree that it was confusing but star and asterisk are interchangeable terms. It means repeat that part of the pattern.😊
When it says to "repeat from star", that means to go back to the instructions and repeat the section between the 2 asterisks.... it kinda looks like a star. I could see there were 2 asterisks when you held up the instructions.
I think each picot has to go to each chain 4 space. The first three then do one but go into the chain four space then do next three picot singularly under the chain four space, chain three and do it again in next chain four space. From the picture it will be closer together rather thatn being big the way you were doing it.
At the end of row one the pattern is using a method so that the thread is positioned correctly for the start of next row without the need to turn the work. Instead of the chain 4 and slip stitch which leaves the thread on the the left hand side of the space, make a double treble (equivalent of 4 chain) into the 4th chain made at the start of round one which leaves the tread on the right hand side of the space. At the end of round one you would have seven spaces made of 4 chains and one made of a double treble. I’ve noticed this method on other doily patterns, it’s a useful method to remember.
Yeah! Keep me out of trouble for a while! 😊 That is a gorgeous pattern! Thank you! I think its 4 rounds not three. Try doing the third then do the 4th by attaching to the 2or 3togs around each group of them?
I think I figured it out. 3rd row Iput a sc in 1st chain4. Ch4, sc in2nd ch-3rd ch and base like a picot 3x, then 4trtog, ch4 sc in 2nd 3rd base1x, 4trtog, ch4 sc in 2nd- 3rd 3x, sc in ch4of previous row all in next ch4 space,ch4 to span ch2 to next set. repeat 7 more times. Seems to be working well. I'll send pic when done. Arthur is mad and he's back with a vengeance so I dont know how long it will be. Sorry.🥹 At no time did I turn my work.
Yay a new mystery pattern. To make it work I did american double trebles and english double crochet, but I always use pattern instructions as suggests rather than directions.
I would not have gotten as far as you did before I would have ripped it out and walked away from it. I so appreciate your willingness to keep on trying. ?1 Is there something with the older patterns that suggests turning your work? I was confused why you did that. I love watching you figure these older patterns out. ?2 Now that you've seen the picture, do you think you could do the pattern just by the picture? (That could be a new thing to figure it out by the picture alone?) Thank you for doing these videos. Please keep going. 😊
I occasionally take a pattern that makes small items and make them thicker yarns to see what happens. Sometimes pretty cool, sometimes total fail. Looking at this it makes me think this pattern should have had a fine thread.
What makes your mystery crochet videos so much fun (besides trying to figure out what the pattern is) is talking back to the screen trying to figure out the pattern stitches with you.
That's what I do, I won't read the comments or fast forward through the video, it's fun to see if our guesses are correct 😅
Same! 🤣
Please 🙏 just do what you are reading. Please tell you try not to think about it waving. Aaah 😂❤
Yep
3 rows of sheer chaos, your son certainly picked a sneakily complex one!
I figured it out ! Just leave no spaces between the picots and Voila! You have definitely taught me to never give up Corinna . You have created a monster in me 🤪🤣
Then the pattern should say, "4 chain, double into first" 😀
Yes, that worked!! Idk how to add pic here tho 😀
I was crying watching you remove that second round over and over again. 😂 And kept telling the screen; “No! You had it right the first time. Don’t stooppppp!!”
I have only recently found this page but I’ve learnt so much about old patterns. It’s been incredibly fascinating. Thanks for struggling through this for us! And thanks to your son for picking out such a fun pattern.
I didn't realize I had become somewhat addicted to your delightful mystery patterns until there wasn't a new one for a little bit there.
yay! 🎉🎉
Me too! I missed them! 😂

Oh, Sissy!!! I'm laughing at your confusion. I have missed you and your video's so much. You're helping me get through Covid at the moment. Star = * ❤
I so hope you feel better soon 🙏
I hope you get the feel betters really soon! 🙏🙏🙏
I’m happy to see the mysteries back. It’s so fun watching you figure it out and have it ready for us to do.
When I crochet, it is always maker's choice.😄 Love your videos.
Repeat from star is repeat from the * shown on the pattern. At least I am pretty sure as it is similar in repeats to a lot of modern patterns.
Yes...Many did not know what an Asterisk was...still don't, so call it a Star.
I'm enjoying just waiting for the 'AHA' moment 😉
Hei 😊 I am so happy to have found your channel. When I am done with my Irish Crochet project I will do one of your mystery pattern. Have a great day 🙋
Your son did a good job picking a winter theme pattern.
I like your interpretation too. 😂 I'd be like "heck with the pattern I'm gonna wild crochet".
OH I'd love to do this now but I've just started the 1865 timeless shawl. What a fantastic design this mystery pattern is. I wish I could keep up with your out put. Who else is in a crochet at snails paces group. 🐌🧶
That shawl is fantastic! I'm currently finishing off the 1864 pelerine. I'm more of a 'crochet at lightning speed ignoring food, drink and other needs' kinda person.

I got it done with 3 threads of viscose thread in 3 different greenish colors. I sent a pic of it (wet) to your email. 😊
Ok ive just gotta say, that the idea of ladies trying to figure out vintage patterns together is a awesome idea. I love it. Praise Jesus! Have a blessed day.
Oh dear, the * confusion was so painful! 😂😉 I grew up using both terms for that symbol, so I wonder if it’s just a regional or generational thing? 🤪
I've been yelling at the screen for ten minutes "repeat from star is the asterisk!!". 😂 Pausing the video for a minute while hoping it dawns on you...I SO want it to so you can take a breath and not be frustrated.
Me too!
Me three. 😁

Welcome back. Lets go. Hi Everyone
O how i love mystery crochet time! So many laughs, great patterns too
I think the picot things youre doing: the chain IS the bump, chain 4 and make the loop with that chain
I love watching you talk through your thought process. Validates me when I yell at my patterns.
I feel it looks bigger because you used thicker thread and bigger wand = hook. I also would have used the stiffer thread so it will hold the true shape. I love what you do seriously. Im learning so much ❤ thank you ❤
Great mystery, I love your shows. I did not learn to crochet by reading, but when you showed the picture, I was ready to go! 😂😂😂
I figured out row 3, I counted the sc as stitch 1 as well as the join stitch, so technically the first chain is the 2nd stitch..I then put (1) 4 cluster in each of the spaces made by the 3 clusters in round 2 , then my chain 3 took me to next space. Worked out beautifully

Omgoodness, Corinna this is so confusing for sure & you’re right even with the picture. Lol
I’m looking forward to the next mystery pattern. 😀❤️
Pattern says to repeat round 3 from the beginning 7 more times.
I think the confusion over the repeat arises from the way the pattern is worded: "repeat from the star, twice more", I think means: "repeat from the * (asterisk), twice more".
Ah bless you! I felt so bad that you were trying so hard to find the star 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. It’s so typical that sometimes we just miss the obvious. Happens all the time to me! But you kept going 💪

Looks like the picots are worked along the edge of each cluster stitch.
Yeah Your back !! We r back !! Mystery Patterns r back !! I have missed this so much !! You did good trying to figure it out,,, nice try !! Thank You !!
Oh I am excited!
really enjoy watching you work through and translate pattern that I would find impossible by my self.
I was so close. I did 2 groups instead of three in round 2. Still ended up with something nice. But I think I'll rework it like the picture. Good effort. Look forward to the next one.

Read all of pattern. Lesson learned😊
Welcome to 2024! Looking forward to this year!
Love your content! After watching like 10h of your videos I found nyself today download an pattern crochet book from 1908 and started on a shawl! 10 tries later i have got the start correct 😂
That was quite a ride! I thought it was cute the way you made it square honestly 🤷🏾♀️ one of these days, I'll try the mystery along with you and see if we end up with the same thing 😂
yay I really needed this today
Yay! Corinna and a new mystery pattern!
and we're back again to my favorite series to watch while i crochet. and coincidentally i'm using anne too (greetings from brazil!)
Cool
If you look at the image, those picots seem to have three chains in them, with the sc going into the first chain made of the four. Can't explain what's written about "the second", but it would be worth a try perhaps

Yay you're back for 2024 another year of Msytery patterns. Well done Corinna pn todays Mystery pattern. This pattern was hurting my head haha
Your a gem sweetheart... ❤😊
Thanks for the heads up on the Círculo Anne yarn. I really like their Amigurumi yarn, but have been interested in trying the Anne.
I love your videos, I've been learning to crochet for about a month and your mystery patterns are really fun and helping me understand all the pattern lingo!
Been waiting for your new tutorial.finally it's here 😍
Love the mystery patterns. I learn so much!
I think you need to chain 3 in stead of 4 and then sc in 2nd chain to make it fit nicer
You tried your best and gave it all your hard work. I agree that it was confusing but star and asterisk are interchangeable terms. It means repeat that part of the pattern.😊
Mine would have been in knots and in the trash!
When it says to "repeat from star", that means to go back to the instructions and repeat the section between the 2 asterisks.... it kinda looks like a star. I could see there were 2 asterisks when you held up the instructions.
I think each picot has to go to each chain 4 space.

At the end of round one you would have seven spaces made of 4 chains and one made of a double treble. I’ve noticed this method on other doily patterns, it’s a useful method to remember.
Welcome Back 🎉
I liked the way you did it better!
Yeah! Keep me out of trouble for a while! 😊 That is a gorgeous pattern! Thank you! I think its 4 rounds not three. Try doing the third then do the 4th by attaching to the 2or 3togs around each group of them?
Well, you can change troubles for trebles.
I think I figured it out. 3rd row Iput a sc in 1st chain4. Ch4, sc in2nd ch-3rd ch and base like a picot 3x, then 4trtog, ch4 sc in 2nd 3rd base1x, 4trtog, ch4 sc in 2nd- 3rd 3x, sc in ch4of previous row all in next ch4 space,ch4 to span ch2 to next set. repeat 7 more times. Seems to be working well. I'll send pic when done. Arthur is mad and he's back with a vengeance so I dont know how long it will be. Sorry.🥹 At no time did I turn my work.
Ahh! Trying to write that down is brutal. 😄
Yay a new mystery pattern. To make it work I did american double trebles and english double crochet, but I always use pattern instructions as suggests rather than directions.
Very interesting but I thought instead of 4 chains for the picot just ch 3 and see if that works better for the picots.
Thank you, that was really interesting, and I liked your first effort even if it was “wrong” ❤
I don't know if I'm talking out of turn but thought that "repeat from star" meant repeat from the asterisk in the written pattern.
The asterisk is your star.
Goodness me I'm yelling quietly at the phone the star on the pattern (I have always called * a star) 😂😂😂
I would not have gotten as far as you did before I would have ripped it out and walked away from it. I so appreciate your willingness to keep on trying. ?1 Is there something with the older patterns that suggests turning your work? I was confused why you did that. I love watching you figure these older patterns out. ?2 Now that you've seen the picture, do you think you could do the pattern just by the picture? (That could be a new thing to figure it out by the picture alone?) Thank you for doing these videos. Please keep going. 😊
Is there anyway you can show us the written pattern so we can do this along with you?
I occasionally take a pattern that makes small items and make them thicker yarns to see what happens. Sometimes pretty cool, sometimes total fail. Looking at this it makes me think this pattern should have had a fine thread.
The star means repeat from the Astrid
