SUMMARY: "Crochet World" has been remarkably consistant throughout its history in picking a great variety of patterns. Quantity went down slightly as quality improved - though the bar was set fairly high from the beginning. There are multiple toy/doll patterns in each issue. If you are an avid crocheter, and by some bizarre circumstance have never encountered this magazine, you are missing out. It is still in publication as of this review(Sept. 2013) and back issues are definitely worth searching for. I highly recommend this publication.

A large collection of Crochet World was donated to the Craft Bibliography Project from the estate of Anna Vinet, through her daughter Lorena, enabling me to fill in all the gaps up to 2014!!! So as of this writing(April 2020), we are missing about half of the most recent decade and that's it! This has been a very long-running magazine, with tons of great patterns over the decades. I'm really happy to fill in so much more of this run(Thank you, Lorena!). Crochet World has a website: http://www.crochet-world.com/ .

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
