It is a given, in my experience. I'm 63, learned from my Maw-maw who had stacks of old Needlecraft and Workbasket magazines. If you were doing a shoe from the patterns that were in the early part of the 1900s you made your own soles. I remember being told that they used to sell pre-made leather soles in various sizes with the stitching holes pre-punched along the outsides in what my Maw-maw called the General Store, where you went to buy dry goods. These later morphed into 5&10 cent stores like Mott's, Anthony's, and TG&Y. I still have my leather punch and I keep a supply of leather from Tandy Corp. to use as shoe soles. All the information you never needed, lol.
Same here, I'm a bit older than you but I remember my grandma buying slipper soles at Ben Franklin's on the West Coast as late as the early 60s. They carried craft items that were long outdated by popular culture but were still used by the older ladies. Soles were still available into the 70s and yes they were pre-punched.
I remember Granny going to the old Woolworth store and she said they used to have to go to the mercantile store. She made ùs girls pairs of these. I loved mine and wore them till they fell off my feet. I wish I could make me a pair once again.
I just gave away all my work baskets that my Grandma gave me. I am 67. My grandma would crochet thick soles.
I miss Ben Franklins.
I'm 62 and my grandmother made all of us kids these types of slippers for Christmas. Her local store had all kinds of stuff for slippers. I loved to go there with her to get her supplies. She never bought anything pre-made, it was always handmade, even down to all the underwear, bras, nightgowns, pj's, socks, etc. It was great!
Almost immediately I was telling my tv "they're slippers they're slippers" . LOL It isn't like you could've heard me. Then when you cut your yarn I yelled "NOOO" and 4 of my 7 dogs started barking at the tv with me. 😂 😊
I would loved to have seen it. 😊
You did everything right. athe triangle is the tip of the slipper. The wave is the heel.
I think it is right too
Look at the direction of the stitches. You have it right.
Wanted to yell at the screen because it was right! Then I cried when the middle of the work was cut. 😂
Flat edge is the base of the slipper form. Imagine wrapping it around your foot. The triangular part covers the toe and the wave part is the heel of the form. You did great.
Mystery crochet "sit-down comedy" to the max. Before you got the full pattern, I laughed but I've looked at patterns just like you did, but I had the WHOLE pattern with pictures. You win the academy award for this category!!
I can see the purchased sole being a given in that one.
No such a thing as a "fail" , the bra cup is excellent!
All prizes to anyone who has the patience to work on that "mystery".... you rock!! 💃🏻💃🏻🩰🩰💃🏻💃🏻
U did it right!! I was shouting at the tv! Im from the shoe making centre of the uk it must be part of living here, being able to see the shoe!, i can see the bit u made first is the front of the shoe, the strap bit goes around the back of the foot and joins back to the bit you crocheted first. Look at the picture, you can see the seam they sewed. When u cut that bit off a part of me went "noooooo!" 😂😂 i cant see any sole in the pattern, you just crocheted the upper!❤
For some reason the parts of unfinished shoe uppers look absolutely nothing like the finished object, let alone something you'd wear. Having the sole, or instructions to make them, would have helped (use the heavier yarn to make the soles). I've also seen some slipper patterns (I don't remember what yarn company had them) where you attach the upper to a flip flop/ shower shoe sole.
I saw it, too! 😃
“Am I overthinking it?” Yes, you almost always are.
Thank you for making me feel better about being confused, trying to figure things out, frogging, frogging again, and finally being triumphant. Of course I am doing easy beginner patterns, but your calm voice keeps me going. Thank you.
I'd love to see you finish this one. I'm convinced you've made the shape right, now I want to see those ruffles!
I love you so much, C.! Once in a while you say you can hear us shouting at our screens, but this time I was sitting over here in the clueless corner, silent as a mouse! "How is THIS a slipper?!?" indeed! Thanks for the chuckles. Love & hugs 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this one so much. It was an allegory of my life in general. That's how feel every day just trying to make it through the day. Thanks for the entertainment.
I am pretty new at crochet and I absolutely adore vintage and 19th-century garments and accessories, so I have tried following several patterns from these old books, but they are always so perplexing, and I have always blamed myself for it. Seeing a person who is so good at crochet struggle to understand the pattern and try to break it apart logically piece by piece, the way I do every time, made it seem so pure and fun, this struggle to understand crochet patterns and reminded me that even getting confused and not being able to get the final product can be such a great time spent. Thank you for the video and you are truly a champion for figuring something out of this pattern! Thank you again for the wonderful video and best of luck in everything!
You did it right! you are supposed to join the back (heel) to the front. You fold it exactly in half. Yes, you will need to add a sole. It's really pretty! I would like to make it! I was like, OH NO DON"T CUT IT! lol
This was a definite win! You crocheted it perfectly ! It's the construction you had trouble with ... imagine the upper ( item you crocheted) wrapping around a flat sole and walla you have your slipper! Great job. I love your channel ❤️
You did it right! So close. The part you thought was the heel was infact the heel. the front part you lay like a dome, and the back part attaches to the arched portion of the slipper so it matches the other side. Love these videos! Love seeing something besides a coaster, even though are fun too.
I appreciate that you put the effort in. Clearly the pattern was missing details. If you could speak to those who tried the pattern during its original era I would guess they would say they had issues too.
Wow, that was a stumper even with the picture!
Taking the scissors to it probably felt good to you at that moment! Lol. I cringed but I couldnt even watch the whole video, sorry. Got me frazzled too. You are a trooper!
Yes… yes it did lol
😃
This pattern is almost identical to the slippers I made years ago. You started perfectly. The point you messed up at is when you cut your yarn.
The narrow end was the toes. The flat edge would've ended up forming your heel. Row 4 was all around. 5th row was 11 sc (misprint was skip 1 on both sides of increase). Over time that forms the curve for your toes. I wish I had a picture of my slippers. My daughter has then I'll see if she'll take a pic for me to share. Mine doesn't have the frills. But they are nearly identical.
Yeah when Carina only did half the row on row 4 that's when she got into strife. She should have stuck with the first attempt.😅
Your first attempt was correct! You had the heel done!
I almost threw my phone yelling “no you had it!” But I’m sure you might have picked up on that by now lol
Oh, Corina, you were so close! You just had to sew the toe together the tip, and it would have flopped the right way. You did so good
Thank you for trying!
49:55 made me gasp 😱 I love it 😂
Oh dear Corinna, I love watching you! My husband is watching the news and I’m laughing hysterically, he asked how can crocheting be that funny! The bra cup 😂😂😂! And the way you kept twisting it around trying make something out of it. You are such an enjoyment! How did they get 3 different yarns for one slipper?! Love you girl!
great! The funniest thing this week 😍
I just feel so vindicated 🥴😅I didn’t start to crochet until 2018 when I taught myself thru UA-cam and reading a lot of instructions…and this reminds me of so many times I was just horribly wrong when trying to understand-expensive too! I love your videos❣️❣️❣️and I identify so much with the Victorian era…thank you for focusing on vintage and for the pure entertainment ❤
I'm sorry I just found this so funny, I've made slippers before and you reminded me why I don't don't now lol I don't think you were far wrong,you would measure your foot for length ,the increase sts were done wrong that's all,so in all without pictures you did a smashing job x
I think that’s the weirdest way to say to work around the chains no context that that’s what your doing lol 😂
Back then they bought ready made cork or wool soles for their slippers.
Major detective skills at work here 🕵️💪
I can't see any way that you could have gotten this one, even with a picture! The pattern would have needed to list a set of soles in the materials, as well as noting things like "this is the tip of the toe", "this is the heel", "sew slipper to sole". You get an A+++ for this one! And it sounds like Justin is a bit of a sadistic imp - just like my son! Thank you for an entertaining interlude!
We love you for trying, we all will not get anything right on one project or another. Love the fact you do this mystery patterns and not always easy to do with the small amount you have. I do love a good mystery pattern and I'm not great on reading all the patterns. I love to do my best and hope for the best ❤
I think the bra-like portion was the toe. The previous comment about adding a separate sole was needed. The remaining was the heel. Maybe 🤪
Even though the attempted pattern was fail, it was immensely entertaining to see you try! 😅😀❤
I think you got it right on the 2nd, you're just not seeing where to join. The starting point is the tip of the toe, the increase/decrease part goes round the heel and joins in a mirror image of where the 7 stitches part took off.
I think you had it right the first time, I feel your confusion 😞 I always enjoy your adventures 😉
If nothing else you gave us a little comic relief lol❤
I know these! They're children's booties. Cus im as old as mold, i remember abs still have my first pair when I was two which was made from leather, it's completely unwearable. I have no idea how I wasn't crippled. The leather was so thick it literally must have been like I was wearing metal shoes. These woukd be so comfy for a small child at home as slippers with a moccasin leather sole.
You had done it perfectly!!! All you needed to do was slip stitch the short edge to the front xD
Please have more confidence! You can do it.
You would have bought the sole separately and stitched it together.
Will get a copy and have a go
Yes corinna had it,
I love these videos! You have way more patience than I do.
The first piece you made was the toe. the second piece you made (from the 7 stiches) was the side and back. the strait edges were to be attached (sewen) to the sole.
I remember the work basket magazine
I have laughed so hard at your attempt at the end....I was just as confused as you were.
Grummaw made soles of thick felt. Gonna try this....some day.
I am lmao.😂 I'm with you, directions were crazy. Who needs crocheted slippers anyway. They hurt your bare feet. ❤
Right!!
I've never belly laughed at a crochet video before.
What you have is the top part of the slipper. You are doing it right, you join the end of the heal back to the triangle part...think 3 D.
Corinna! i am pretty sure i made the slipper 😂 i would love to show you but i’m not sure how to share with you. I still need to make the ruffles and puffs, but i think i got it ❤. i also want to say thank you for sharing the vintage, victoria era patterns, i really enjoy them and i’m also learning a lot. keep up the great work. love ya girl and Merlin! p.s. Merlin makes me giggle every time i hear him 😂
You were so close!
I've laughed out loud so much this episode😂 the boys at the end made Sandro's life
Would it work as a jock strap or an egg basket? What a valiant effort, Corinna. Sending you a big hug.
lol, Ma’am hahaha 😂
Big hugs back!! 🤗
Oh noooo you cut it and it’s correct 😂
oh my soul this was hectic. I broke into a little bit of a sweat when you picked up the scissors, but I couldn't see a slipper for love of money - so I was with you all the way
Don't give up!!! ❤
It seems like the "bra cup" is the heel, but Idk for certain. That is the most confusing pattern for slippers I have ever seen. I will NOT be attempting that!! GREAT effort!!
The sole was the first portion that you crocheted, which is why it said “to size”. Generally my soles are a peanut shape that comes from the three in the same stitch at either end. It is a continuous “row” around the oval. At that point I do a single row of back loop only all the way around, which will make the next row stand up at a 90* angle easily. Then the sole is complete and you are working on the top/sides of the slipper. After a few rounds the decease portion happens at the U shape of the toe, however this got muddled because they did the strap “built in” style first. I am a grandma and have made tons of slippers and booties for my grandkids, including baby cowboy boots, baby Reebok’s, and baby Mary Janes-which are the very closest to this pattern. I have seen some patterns with a squared off heel, and I suspect this might be one. I would have to crochet along next time I watch it to figure that part out! I thought you gave it a real go. A+ for effort! At first I was thinking it was a slipper, but when it went off the rails I had doubts…then I thought a bonnet, then a bag, then it just became a big crochet monster in my head. I was so relieved to see it was a slipper all along!
Scratch all of that…. I just rewatched and I think @GlasUndMetall is correct…I got a real nice slipper shape with no sole following along the second time!
First, I thought it was a bonnet, then half (lengthwise) a doll, now is a Fnu Lnu! 😅😅😅😂😂😂
I find a that few modern patterns are mysterious too. I don’t have your patience for that 😠. Love watching you do your thing 👍.
Will you try to do it now that you know what it is & you have the picture to help fathom it out a bit more?Just wondered if you would just to say “Yes! I did it in the end it didn’t beat me “😉 You have so much patience…..Keep doing what you do it’s so inspiring I spent many hours as a child watching my elderly Nan crocheting from very old pattern books & it brings back very happy memories 🙂
Wow! This pattern is a tricky item. Even with picture I can see you scratching your head. You did your best! Lots of helpful comments from others which could make for a do-over! 💖
The back bump first row was a game changer for a neat edge for me. Thanks heaps! And this was a fun one.😊
✂️…. Serious business 🤣🤣 just ignore this. Great effort in the attempt . Nope to shoes, yes to shawls or ponchos 🧡🧡
Imagine from center back you crochet a mirror image that wraps around your heel to the instep (top of foot) of your upper / toe piece those last 7 sc are sl st where your first 7 sc began on the opposite side . Hope that made sense
Ha! No pun intended in that title!?🤣
Im so late for the scream fest.. you had it! Don't cut the yarn!!!❤❤ you're awesome corinna. Love your videos !!
Oh my gosh, when you were at row 4 on your first try, I saw the bottom of the sole that's what made me start thinking it was going to be a slipper, at one point I wanted you to keep going around but you stopped and turned. I was getting confused after that. I laughed out loud when I saw it was a slipper, because that was my thought early on. These patterns are so confusing to me.
I hope you give it another try, I'd like to see how it comes out 🤩
Wowser. That one was a "You MUST be from this time period to know wth we're talking about"! Valiant effort. Next!
I’m calmly but getting louder that the wave part is the heel and the point is the toe. I thought you were going to pull it apart! You couldn’t hear me and I was like, “No wait listen!”
Of course you couldn’t hear me. 😂😂😂😂😂
And then you cut it and I gasped so loud I almost passed out!
Corinna, thank you for trying the 1912 pattern out for your subscribers/fans, so we don't have to do it!
Sneaked to the comments to early. So we are making shoes 😁 next crossed from the list you would never chrochet. You can get soles to chrochet shoes (ad least here in Europe) . What if you knew what they ment? Only half the fun.
On my way home I did get the notification of this new video, which made my day! I love watching you figure out these patterns 😅 keep doing what you do! 👏
OMG 😳 you cut the yarn!!! 😂
Great video as always, I'm always so excited when I see yours come out. They are so entertaining.
I know some viewers will be sending you photos. Can't wait to see them.
It wasn't a fail!! You did it right I believe. I think you were just overthinking the placement of the attachment. The flat edge needs to stay at the bottom so you could attach a sole!! I would love to see someone complete it! Do you have a page or something where people share their recreation of the pattern?
I would like to see you try it again
You have it right. Look at the direction of the stitches when you assemble the shoe. This was very entertaining. I felt like applauding when you tried to figure out how to put the slipper together. Will you finish it now?
You need to start doing these live so you can hear us yelling at you 😹
I cannot do slippers at all. Always look like a giant and baby one combined. I love how you try so hard. I would of gave up right away.
Oh by the way, I love the color of your shirt sleeve. Love the green. Looks like it is a very pretty shirt/blouse. 😊
I don't think you failed. Seems to me that the pattern wasn't written very plainly & as precisely as it should have been. Either that or the printer messed up something. You were very patient & went by what the instructions told you. IMHO Thank you. Great job!
Just stand it up by itself and then get or make a sole and add it to the "building" up there...!!! BUT you have to stand it up first and, making believe the working counter is where the sole is supposed to be, fold the pointed section on its own over your left hand where the increases are, and it will start making sense to you... Hope it helps...!!! (BTW, it is a small slipper that needs alterating "the bridge" between both ends...)...
Hi great channel. Row four wasn’t an increase row. No 3 sc in the top middle of the three from the row before. No typo for row five.
That was a gallant effort.
❤ Great try! Im addicted to your channel btw! 😊
Hello Corrina, thank you for this mystery video today. Corrina You sure gave it a good try today 👍 Even though you had trouble with this pattern, I think you had very good intentions of trying to make this work. I'm enjoying watching mystery patterns, and look forward to future videos.
You're brave to just read and try. I always translate / re-write the pattern into a separate sheet of paper and if I encounter problems out comes the grid paper and the crochet symbols and I chart out the pattern. It does take time upfront to do this, but it saves time once I start crocheting because it takes out the guess work and eliminates errors (mostly 😉 )
Can wait to see if someone figures it out and sends a pic x good luck ❤️
Forgot to say great effort though. Your work is so even and beautiful ❤️
You did it right. Just attach both ends and sew it to the sole.
Im watching this on my IPhone. I wish I could reach thru my phone and show you. This is frustrating.
I think what you had the first time was correct.
You can’t win them all 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure you had it at 40:36 right before you went to get the uncovered parts 💕
I was talking so much to this video wanting to tell you that you did it right and just got the last part on how to assembly it wrong. Had to try the pattern myself and have worked up a slipper quite fast. (Would send pic but not sure how to...)
I was chuckling watching you with the slipper! You only made the top part, not the sole. Justin tweaked you on that one 😂
Just watching now. The sole is a seperate piece! That is the toe sides and heel!
You gave me quite a giggle. Lol😂 Some of the older crochet is a dickens.
I know this doesn't help for this project, but those antique yarns all had the same size wrappers, so an 8 fold (Worsted/Aran) would have been a shorter length than the 4 fold (Sport) yarn in skeins. That's why it asked for 3 skeins of the 8 fold. That would have been about the same amount as the sport weight in length. I've had some antique yarns in my stash over the years.
I think if you had the first page of the book you would have seen something that instructed you to have a a pair of soles.
"You will never see me make shoes"
Son: 😈
Always look at way stitches are going. Second way was correct.
The other nearby slipper patterns include “sew on a sole” but this one assumes you just know to do that.
