I’ve subscribed to Crochet! for several years. Through those years, they’ve improved the layout and offerings. Usually there’s at least one item that catches my eye.

There’s a good variety of patterns, usually an afghan or two, a baby or child’s item or two, household items, flower motifs, a few cute & some not so cute wearable patterns in each issue. You can expect some cute purse patterns, once in a while a scarf or shawl. The magazine seems to have a running theme that will last a few months…once it was flowers, I loved those, very cute, now it’s special stitch patterns…handy if you’re creative and like to design your own items.

Crochet! still uses some yarns I’ve never heard of, but they always give the yarn weight which makes it easier to substitute & there’s a buyer’s guide in the back of the magazine. I haven’t noticed many amigurumi patterns, but there’s been some. I made a frog a couple years ago.

The magazine includes a project page, Crochet! at a Glance, which has a photo of each pattern in the issue along with the page # it’s found on. You’ll also find a stitch guide, buyer’s guide info, the patterns are rated by skill level, & a chart explaining yarn weight. There’s a web page with additional information & usually an option to receive a free issue so you can decide if you like the magazine. You’ll find that info on their website.
They are beginning to promote their website more. The September 2009 issue includes some pattern photos, but you’re instructed to go to the website for the pattern.

Help answer the question about Crochet Designs
How many crocheters do you know that has the skill to crochet the project from the picture alone?
My mother was such a crocheter, the picture in the magazine was enough for her. Crochet Designs She was very poor at trying to read instructions. I learned as a teen and taught my mom many things.I not only acquired this skill from her to work from pictures, but I can read any type instructions, also put any type project in to any type of art and design most anything.I hope we are amoung millions, butno one can know, if they do not ask.

Learning+To+Crochet Free Important Guideline

crochet — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:43:29 +0000

I was initially hesitant to spend $45.00 on this video…I thought the price was a little high. I justified it, however, after reading the other reviews, figuring if I could actually learn to crochet with the video I would save money by not having to take a class. Well, I am now a novice crocheter! The video was excellent….it offers step by step instructions on the different stitches and guidance on the patterns as well. Having a video is great, you can keep rewinding to watch the stitches you have trouble with…over and over and over if necessary! The patterns are a bit outdated, but great practice, and you can jazz them up with more modern yarns and bigger needles. I have successfully completed two scarves and three shawls and I haven’t even viewed the 4th chapter yet. I think it’s an excellent resource and highly recommend purchasing this video.
