    This is a bassinet cover. Sort of between a light coverlet and a lacey shade cover that can be drawn over top of the bassinet, crib, pram, or stroller to shade and protect Baby from the elements and drafts, indoors or out. I remember my Grandfather building a tiny maple and cherry bassinet and my Grandmother crocheted the cover for it. I think they made it for a church raffle in the 1960s.

    You crack me up, Corinna, so no need to sob in the corner today, okay?! I don't know about other people, but I love when you make the stacked singles instead of the chains. I've been crocheting since 2017 and never liked the chains, but no one ever mentioned another way of making that first stitch. And then - You. So thank you for that! I've also completely stopped making the chain one turning chain and my edges look so neat and beautiful.

    Tip for bone tools: If the bone is dry you can take some Vaseline on the hooks to make them smooth again, sometimes they need several thin layers, it depends on how dry the hooks are. The dirty ones you can cook for up to an hour in plain water to get them cleaned and you can also get the bent ones straight again. But sometimes they are just sadly too far gone. But if you cook them they need to get Vaselined afterwards, otherwise they get dry and brittle. When the hooks doesn't want any more Vaseline you can dry them off with a cotton cloth and take some hard beeswax towards the hook/hooks to protect them and make them smooth and shiny. I have done musical instruments in bone and that's why I know this. The beeswax aren't necessarily if you can't get hold of it.
    Absolutely love your channel and I always get happy inside 😊 when you release a new video, and TANK YOU for all the work and all the time you put on your channel 🧡💛💚

    @Parula06 8 місяців тому +16

    Would roughly be pronounced "bare-so-NET" -- French 'r' pronunciation makes no exact English equivalent. Uncle Google says a berceaunette is a wicker basket with a partial top used as a cradle, so close to a bassinette.

  • @nimroddess_
    @nimroddess_ 8 місяців тому +11

    I totally agree, for patterns like this where there are long repeats and you need partial repeats to maintain symmetry, having a starting stitch count is essential. I remember when I first started crocheting, those confused me, but now I appreciate them. I also get frustrated when a pattern wants you to do the same thing as in a previous row (example: shell in a shell), but it's worded differently. Why? You want me to do the same thing? Use the same words!
    Anyway!! I love how this looks at the end with the diamond holes. Could see it being used for a beach cover-up or breezy cardigan too. Great job working through this mystery pattern! Definitely chaotic, but not a hot mess - the chaos is why we all love the mystery patterns ❤

    • @jillschimpf1605

    I love watching as you figure out these patterns, and you have more patience than I ever will. I suggest that long ago, some bassinets had hoods or a hood frame. This crochet piece, made wide enough, might be lined with a fabric then placed on the frame to provide shade for the baby. Some bassinets doubled as prams.

  • @marthabace632
    @marthabace632 8 місяців тому +3

    One caveat about Hooks & Needles... unless they have changed in the last 4 months (since January 2024), you cannot get more of the yarn that is included in the boxes. You get 2 skeins - and that's it. The yarn is gorgeous, but you will never be able to get enough for a larger project than the one in the box. I typically don't do small wearables, so as much as I loved the yarn, the subscription was a waste of money. 😟 I sincerely hope others get more out of it than I did.

  • @susanrussell8195
    @susanrussell8195 8 місяців тому +3

    I am so impressed with how willing you are to put yourself out there and stumble through these patterns. Many people would not be so willing to show the mistakes and struggles. Sometimes it is frustrating when you get caught up in the moment and don’t see what is so clear to us armchair quarterbacks. I just want to say thank you for being vulnerable.
    Also, no one but the creator knows what anything in this book is supposed to look like; therefore, what you show is correct. The only person who can say definitely that you did it wrong has been dead for a century.
    I would love to see this done up and backed with a flannel or satin. It would be beautiful. Maybe for the next grandchild.

    Pronunciation - bear-so-net. But with a French accent. 😉👨🏻‍🎨
    The chain count - when you laid it out and counted the first time I thought, but what about the ending v-cluster? So glad I hung in there until 39:18! 😂😁
    Some people are SO GOOD at figuring out multiples & creating patterns - and I’m so glad they do the work for me, because otherwise I would rage quit half the projects I start! 😂 Kudos to you for sticking with it!

    The Berceaunette pronunciation is correct.A "berceau" in French is a baby cot (in French). A berceaunette means a small baby cot. This is the first time I have heard this word probably no longer in use. The definition on Google is "A wicker basket with a hood over the head, used as a cradle."

    I thought someone was typing a book. Then I thought maybe you had and old dog wandering the house. Then I thought maybe a bird pecking a toy in its cage. Then I thought maybe a branch tapping the window. Maybe a ceiling fan?? I figured I’d never know. Thanks for clearing up the mystery AND For the hook and needle box. Love it! I got two subscriptions!

  • @3rdand105
    @3rdand105 8 місяців тому +3

    As I've said before, I like the typing sound, given that my mother was an avid crocheter and an excellent typist. I find the sound to be comforting and inviting. I figured a stitch count in my head, but because I'm knitting someone a hat for an upcoming birthday (not you, but I may have something else in mind), I have yet to test it. We may have come to the same number of stitches, I'll let you know. Great job, great video, and I look forward to the next one!

    Yes, we all have our quirks. Mine is those chain ones at the turning. Hate 'em. Unless the pattern has a very specific design idea for putting them there, which I've only seen once, I omit them with impunity! Ha! So there! I appreciate learning about the stacked single from you, and once in a while, if I need it, I use it. It honestly looks so much better. Love & hugs! (When I Googled it was pronounced Bare-see-oh-net, so very close to what Parula06 said.)

    So now the mystery is whether this is a pretty but nonfunctional decorative piece to go across the hood part of the berceaunette, or is supposed to be a blanket that covers the baby inside the berceaunette.

    I'm a crocheter that has also written my own patterns. Based on what I saw that you were doing... I think you were right the first time, and there is a mistake in the instructions, something left out. I think what you are supposed to do, is after that last shell, you should chain 2, then do 1 dc in the last stitch. It would make it match up with what you had in the beginning. When you 'fixed' it for the different chain count, the shell pokes out, and this looks like it's supposed to be a rectangular pattern, with straightened edges on either side. It looks to me as if there should be a 3dc block at each end of the pattern. At least, that's how I would do it.
    A berceaunette is a wicker basket with a hood, which is probably what the bassinette was derived from. I think the difference is that a bassinette is the height of a cradle, where a berceaunette is set on the ground... probably used to take infants outside when the family was out on a picnic, or the mother was sitting out in the yard shelling peas/beans. There was also probably a contraption with a handle and wheels that held the berceaunette to turn it into a stroller. You would put this type of blanket over the berceaunette so that there was enough air to baby to breath, and not get too hot while shading him/her from the sun. It could even double as a coverlet for baby if it got a little chilly.
