I’m working on a WWI sweater for hubby. I can’t knit, so Tunisian knit stitch came to the rescue. My daughter’s reaction was priceless: “Momma, did you just figure out how to knit with a crochet hook?” Well, I didn’t figure it out per se, but it’s working, and I. Can’t. Knit.
Oh my god what is that???? I love crotchet and tried to knit and felt like my hands were made of jello!!! Couldn't do it. I did it as a kid as well as crotchet and assumed it would be just as easy ti take up knitting as crotchet. But I really like the knit texture. I am going to look this Tunisian thing up right now!!
@@PadraigpIt's wonderful! I'm sure you already looked it up, but it's kinda like knitting because the hook is very long.
I can't knit either (for some reason my brain isn't getting it), so I got a Tunisian hook to try it out.
Tunisian Crochet is so fun! But it does make a very heavy fabric! There are also some good videos on making your edges neat, changing colors and connecting as you go if you’re doing squares! Have fun!
I designed a jacket using Tunisian knitting/crochet it use to be known as Afghan knitting. I use to knit for years until two broken wrists caused mobility issues where my hands would just cramp up over the needles. I found that Tunisian knitting avoided that cramping issue because of the way you work the one needle. I love the fact each row is now contained and you can never have that one stitch that gets dropped running back down the whole work which could happen with knitting lol but it’s thicker than just knitting or crochet alone which I thought was perfect for making a winter jacket.
It’s why Afghan blankets are so warm compared to the vandyke/granny stitch style blankets. The only drawback I have found is that there are heaps of blanket patterns for this style of work but not many outer garments and it’s too heavy to use for children’s to baby clothes.
Tunisian crochet or knitting is knitting casting on and casting off repeatedly. I found knitting into backloops easier due to my wrist and other joint and neurological issues. The knitting needles are meeting each other not at such a pointy angle and the motion is more left and right than jabbing outward.
Forgive me for being old. In the uk we make all winter garments from sheeps wool. We have a saying “ wool warms, cotton kills “ in extreme cold cotton makes the skin colder and you are at risk of hyper thermia. Just thought u might like to know. I don’t know if you get very cold weather as we do. Thanks again like your videos x
Ohhh 🤩 a full bowl of patterns. I’m always cold and always poor… this is perfect. 😂
👍👍
😹😹😹😹😹
😂😂😂 same here!
Yeah! Bye starting chains! Don't let the door hit your back bump on the way out! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I thought how wonderful it would have been in the Victorian era as a woman who works hard but doesn’t have much cash to be gifted this gift. I’m guessing wool would be easy to buy at a cheaper price so even her friends could make a gift to her of one. X
This style would be great to wear under your coat when it's freezing out.
Tbf that's how I always wear a scarf,practical purposes,I'm not into scarves just for an asthetic look,
As a left handed knitter the splitting thread is something I often experience but when I crochet, I learned to do it right handed and the same yarns would never split for me. So it occurs to me that your beautiful yarn may have been spun with the left handed direction. It would be interesting to compare this yarn with another that doesn't have that behaviour and see if they are twisted in opposite directions.
I had to look up Shetland Floss. According to Revelry, it is a #2 weight , 100% wool yarn. It would keep a neck warm!
Knowing now, I would start with an even number of Van Dyke clusters. I am making several in grey and using a scarlet border to give to poor women with noe a ha'penny on their pocket. We women in the 20's have much easier than the women in the last 20's or the one before that! Yarn is nicer, hooks are easier to work with and most of us crochet for entertainment and not necessity Thank you for the time and energy that you put into these videos for us as you strive for authenticity on out behalf.
I think what you looked up is just a modern company (Woolco) giving a fanciful name to their yarn.
“Shetland floss” in the 19th century would describe the specific weight and twist of wool from actual Shetland-breed sheep from actual Shetland. This was a superfine and soft two-ply wool that would probably be lighter than modern “laceweight”. The sheep come in variegated colours and the wool is usually not dyed.
It was what they made the famous Shetland shawl from, that you can pull through a wedding ring, even though it’s about as long and tall as a person.
@@eh1702 Thank you Eh, for that information. I enjoy learning about the history of our craft!
When they asked for a 'middle hole' I would have just frogged a cluster and called it good, because I'm too lazy to work things out😂
My gripe with rectangle scarves has always been -- the back of my neck is exposed. With this design both the front and the back of my neck are adequately protected from the cold. Quick project.
I agree! Give me a circular one. Something that will do as it should. 😊 God bless and happy Mother’s Day 💐
Same here.!!
Any L-shaped design.
In yoi second row, to end, wouldnt your last vandyke mirror the first at beginning?
I found a pattern for a hat and scarf combo. The hat is crocheted from bottom to top. The top of the hat is extended to the desired length to make a scarf to wrap around the neck.
Holy cow 92k ...play button we are comming 😁💙💜💞👍
Exciting, and well deserved!
We know they tried to help the homeless back then as well. Wonderful!
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your Busy Day to show us how to do this cool shawl. You are a Gift 💝 to us & I don’t take it lightly. Those who criticize are showing their true self. You are sunshine & make the day much brighter when you share your skills with us.
I really appreciate you teaching the Granny Stitch… I love ❤️ it but seemed to never have the my rows even. Now, I have this special trick up my sleeve for more even stitches…I can’t wait to try. Thank you. ❤
How lovely! I love watching your mystery crochet videos and trying to solve them right along with you! Thanks as always for such delightful content!
Bamboo rayon yarn is awesome!! Splitty, but soooo soft!! I'm going to use the Truboo Sparkle to try to make a summer sweater 🙂 You made a beautiful shawl!! Great idea to donate!!
Agreed. Annoying to work with but so soft and silky! There’s definitely worse yarns to work with.
Perfect timing, been looking for something to drape over my shoulders, Melbourne's cold weather is coming, I'll be giving this a try, thanks Corrina ❤❤❤🇦🇺
Hi fellow Melburnian👋I got a text from Spotlight yesterday saying they have sale on. And Aldi had yarn on special buys last week. Crochet hooks too, but they weren't in stock
@@thelibraryismyhappyplace1618 thanks Spotlight is OK but I support my local yarn shop, and I love Bendigo Woollen Mills, Happy crocheting🧶
@@susanfrederick33 ooh I'll have to look them up
Love Bendigo Wool Mills for value
What a great project that's different, works up quickly, and you can make it small as a neckerchief or as large as a shawl. Thank you for sharing it with us.😊
I love Bamboo yarn, but do agree that its not the easiest, but oh so worth the splitsville battle in the end. My DIL bought me a vintage cardigan pattern (like a bed jacket type thing, with a wide skirt bottom and very wide sleeves) and my other DIL bought me the most divine cotton bamboo blend - local yarn, like a handspun sorta texture. I looove my jacket thingy but man is it heavy and oh so soft and really warm even tho its very lacy - rows of V stitch .... and totally off subject .. I received my AliExpress Tunisian crochet hook set today - soooo excited, neeeeed a tunisian project now. Very impressed with them, and even tho customs knocked me back another R200 odd, I received them a month earlier than the date given. Thank you for the recommendation Corrina .🥰🥰
I love this. I have some of that exact yarn and now that I have seen this, I think I have finally figured out what to do with it!
I did a civil war era styled shawl that only increased at the beginning. It worked fine, as you do the next row it increases that side. It gives the sides a different angle, being more long than wide.
I'm so confused how thos turned into an l shape? Is that just from the increases?
@@Padraigp yes, at first it seemed off for me, but it works.
@dawnandhallahavingfun5313 cool! Gotta finish my first cardigan with just single crotchet and then I can try a shawl. Did try to make one for my friends birthday but since I didn't know what I was doing it turned into a coral reef lol!
Your heart shows in these videos! You seem like a kind and gentle person ❤
Wow, thank you!
Very nice! I agree with one of the comments, the v neck ones leave the neck exposed. Those poor women so cold. Makes me want to grab a crocheted blanket and snuggle up.
By the way, love the nails! Happy Mother’s Day 💐 may you have a wonderful day
I too am a fan of bamboo cotton ,if you can find your rhythm with it the results are absolutely worth every split 😊
Thanks for the music while you worked.
Corinna, I love this very functional. I could wear around house while doing chores. Keeping the chill off back of neck. Plus not too bulky to wear with a coat or sweater. Peace.
I like this, its a very simple straight forward pattern.
This is really nice. Loved Amadeus very nice touch.❤
The 1812 Overture (aka Lone Ranger theme) would have been a good choice too.
What a great quick project! I love the colors (gray with any reds/pinks/mauves are my favorite color combinations). BTW--Happy early Mother's Day!!! ❤❤❤
Wow as long as I been watching videos on crocheting that was the first time I saw someone do the straight end with those sc!! Im working on an afgahn again. Just finished some crochet bikinis someone was asking for. The other yarn that drove me nuts was the fleck yarn from Michaels. I am an inline girl so it was a night mare making a baby blanket with it. I hit the like button. :)
It's a very Laura Ingalls shawl. It's nice to have simple sometimes.
It's my favorite patterns for shawls!
I love this! I make alot of shawls. But excited for this one since I love vintage!
The shape means it will drape over the shoulders, around the neck very comfortable. Thank you!
Haha! This whole time I thought you lived with an avid writer 😂
Thank you for the lovely shawl! And the time you shared with us!
It's beautiful. I'm loving your mystery crochet pattern videos.
This one with reactions almost reads like a riddle meant to be solved lol ❤
I am so glad that I'm not the only one who thinks bamboo is spitty. But the softness! I think it's a cape or capelett
Instead of Van Dyke stitches, I thought it would be 3 consecutive doubles so it would be more like a filet block.
That possibility occurred to me also.
LOL "sleepy hungover" = fatigued ❤
I'll just put it like this: if you look at bamboo-cotton yarn, it explodes. This I know from experience. You already know a sharp hook doesn't help with that; try knitting with it. You're working with two sharp points, what could go wrong? I don't really care for the socio-economic undertones this pattern offers, but that doesn't mean it's not a good pattern, or a good idea, for that matter. Thanks for the video!
That is a beautiful, quick shawl!!
Love the Mystery Pattern!
I absolutely loved this pattern. I always do a self standing dc to start its hard to explain but looks so much nicer than chains ❤
I like this method, starting with a long chain increasing in the middle and end/beginning. This pattern turned out beautiful, Thank you.
Adorable shawl, you did an awesome job. Happy Early Mother's Day to you. Enjoy your day tomorrow with your kids.
Wow! It’s amazing the difference in patterns over the years! I wonder if you made that big enough you could use as a scarf like shawl!! Thank you! 🙏😇❤️
Personally, I would put the red border around the whole shawl. Especially to fill in the neck.. It is lovely..
i'm so glad i found your channel. I have learned so much and the history nerd in me is absolutely loving seeing all these vintage pattern being tested and brought to life!
Sending lots of love from finland
I love that scarf, it looked so pretty in that yarn ,thank you for showing us .
Ohh so beautiful. Love the pattern and I love the historical knowledge of 1800s crochet and knitting. I'm learning a lot of different patterns from you. Thank you, you are a great teacher 😊
So simple, yet do pretty 😍. Kudos for staying with the sharp bone hook, I would have switched 😅
I love love the typing sound. What's more vintage than a typewriter? ❤
In my experience there have always been crocheters who did not do the turning chain. It's not a newbie thing. You just reach the point where you want a straight edge. I would say to check on the wool weights of Shetland. The ply is twisted differently. Jamieson makes good weight Shetland. Often used for Fair Isle Sweaters/Jumpers. So a number 2 ply may infact be warmer. I can't image that a Poor Cold Woman would benefit much from a Standard 2 Weight. Try a metal hook with splitty yarn.
Wonderful! Love the mysteries.
I like this. Simple but elegant. And that blue bamboo is wonderful. Thank you.❤❤
Ohhh beautiful! Thanks for the video
Loved crocheting with the music!😊
Hello Corrina, such a nice Shawl. I like the yarn colors. Looking forward to the next video.
Very nice !! Easy to make for anyone !! I don't use the chain 3 anymore, I love the stacked single crochet, and back loop start all thanks to You !! So easy !! Thank You for another great video 📷 !! ❤ It !!
Is winter here in the south hemisphere, I definitely will do this shall / scarf ❤❤❤ it's really pretty 😍
Very pretty shawl!
That would be a great pattern to use with Caron Halo yarn, no? Love it. My phone bloated yesterday and I hate this iPad tablet thingy. It fights me all the way!
This is beautiful thank you for sharing this 😊
This would be great way to use up scrap yarn.
The pattern is easy enough to follow.
I like the way you play pattern roulette. LoL
Fun!
Hola,simple y muy lindo tejido ❤
Question. Why did you decide on the vandyke stitch, it did not say to do the trebbles in the same stich I would have read it as 3 in a row then skip 2.
I was wondering this.
I had to go back and see what you meant. Lol! I think even if she did the first row that way the rest of the rows would’ve been the same. Just fewer groups of 3 dc in the first row. But the progression of the pattern would’ve looked very similar because they meant for you to work into the holes created just like a granny square does.
Unless I’m picturing it wrong which is very possible 😅
It looks like it would keep the neck and shoulders warm. Cute
Beautiful little shawl. I am a little bit sad that you didn't put the finished piece around you neck and modelling it to us.
Sorry, but English is not my first language. Where do you get the old bone hooks? Greetings from Germany your way.
Great little shawl but I can't imagine it keeping poor women too warm in the winter. They would need something a tad larger and more compact stitches. But this would be a perfect warmer for me in the winter!
Seems like a rather skimpy shawl to keep someone warm but if you’re going for stylish, ok. I like it.
I like the mystery a lot, but not the 1800s stuff too much. It’s nice when there are patterns for things we might actually make to use. The days of doilies are long gone. Even shawls are not worn much. Although the shawl you did recently had a modern look. I loved that pattern and will be making it. But I think you said it was a from a decade in the 1900s. Everyone has their likes, I know. I always appreciate the effort you put in to these videos. You are really good at teaching. Thank you for that.❤
Haha, I work in a retirement home, we use God knows how many doilies everywhere xD I personally love this super antique stuff. But as you said, tastes are different.
That shawl you are referring to is a pre-civil war shawl, from 1851
I got the feeling of "fillet" pattern when you first started.
Maybe the sharp edge on the hook can be filed or sandpapered a little smoother?
So nice to have an easy one every once in a while, huh?
Another great (not so mysterious) mystery pattern. Thank you!
I'm wondering, since we are willing to jump into modern times by using stacked single and no beginning chain, wouldn't it be easier to switch to a different hook to help with the splitting yarn? Perhaps the the yarn used in the original pattern didn't split as much so the bone hook was fine but why struggle today when we have so many choices?
I like the increase method used here! Thanks again for a fun video.
I like to try to use the hook that came from the same era when I can for these videos
nice
I’m pretty sure that “Tunisian” crochet - since this did not exist in North Africa till recently - is actually Scottish Gaelic “toinnetean”, pronounced similarly to the US (but not UK) pronunciation of Tunisian. It means twisting/turning (and also with connotations of complexity)
I’m pretty sure “Shetland floss” in a 19th century publication is what the Shetland shawl would be made from - finer than laceweight, more like modern mohair but very soft, less hairy.
I have made a dozen of much bigger version of that pattern as had my sister.
❤
with that yarn, perhaps it would be worthwhile to polish the needle beforehand (emery paper)?
I prefer the chain, without it my pieces tend to look wonky.
👍👍
Re the sharp tip of antique bone hooks surely one cld sand down the problematic point?
I couldn't possibly do that to a bone hook that is well over 120-130 years old. it's not worth destroying it
Curious. How did you decide to do 3 dc in one chain as opposed to 1 dc in the next 3 chains? 🦋
Lol you think bamboo is hard to use. I have spun bamboo cotton. The break away if you go to fast is terrible lol. Although if one manages to go through with making a whole skein it is VERY worth the experiance.
The hook you’re using reminds me of the hook my mother taught me to crochet with. It must have been an early twentieth century hook. What is your hook made of and do you know its origin?
This was a definite “throwback” pattern meant to cover the just the shoulders with the ends drawn together and crossed in the front and tucked into a waistband, tied or clipped to keep together. 😊
😊❤❤❤🇨🇦
I’m a Canadian. Americans are my neighbours so no offence intended at all when I say this. I guess I don’t understand why if it says to do a treble, an American would decide to do a double crochet instead. Why don’t you do a treble? Yo twice, pull up a loop, yo, (draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. As to your videos, I’ve watched a few of them now and I like the idea of you tackling these old patterns. I used to see patterns like this in my grandmother’s old books. I think Shetland floss would mean that lace weight wool from the Shetlands is meant to be used and probably with a hook that would now be equivalent to a 2.5 or 3mm size. Then using the taller treble stitches would make more sense. In my experience anyway.
Because the only difference is the terms, the definition is exactly the same between UK and US stitches with the exception of the single crochet which does not exist at all in UK stitch terms, ( they call a sc a double crochet) * But in the Victorian era a UK single crochet was a slip st* , I have whole videos covering many of the terms and their definitions , these are undisputable facts, a UK treble is the same as a US double and in the UK they call a sc a double crochet and so on .... I'm not deciding to do it different, I'm actually following the pattern as written, you are free to check me on that , google what US and UK stitch terms mean ,
no need to describe a US treble, I know very well how to do them, Thanks
Hi Corrina. I have a question that I don’t want to make public and was wondering if there was an email or some way to get a message to you. Thanks
You should have put it on and shown it on you
Did you mean to say 65 chain not 65 inches for around the neck?
I meant to say 65 chains
🫶🏼
I don’t see how this kept anyone warm ….. so it’s basically a granny square stitch
its meant to be layered under a coat or cloak
So your yarn is too big. Shetland floss is wool and is a lace weight fiber. I was thinking while watching this that the yarn was too thick. I thought you would have found a 1 weight to attempt this, but upon looking at a book my grandmother’s mother gave her and she then gave it to me, they really meant a 0 or lace weight yarn. I will say I’m sure the poor ladies of 1879 would have appreciated your version more: it is thicker, and would definitely keep them and their children warm on cold days and nights 💯🥰🧶 Your nails are gorgeous lady 💅🏽😍
But what is it? (No, I haven't watched the whole video, but I won't do that until I know what it is!)
I think I get what you're saying. I don't like videos that make you watch the entire thing before you even know what they're doing. But this is called a "mystery pattern" so... 😉
Yeah! Bye starting chains! Don't let the door hit your back bump on the way out! 😂
