Crochet World is more "crafty" than other crochet magazine and stays with more conservative styles in wearables. Some of the recommended yarns aren't my favorites, but you can always substitute and I sometimes re-imagine them to suit myself. If you like crochet stuffed animals, seasonal decorations, baskets, rugs, doilies, etc. this may be the magazine for you. Not my highest rated crochet magazines since I prefer more wearables and modern patterns, but this magazine has its own special niche.

I have picked up several copies of this magazine at the newstand. I have not bought one copy. The patterns in the magazine lack style. They also use rather unflattering and uncomfortable yarns (eg scratchy hairy synthetics for ponchos). I have not seen one item that I would make.

To subscribe to "Crochet World" you must enjoy making and/or wearing items such as a mulit-coloured jumper with crayons crocheted all over it. But if, like me, you cringe at the thought, check out "Crochet!" magazine.

This is the best crochet magazine on the market today. Not only does it feature a variety or crocheted patterns, it uses easily found material that are not ultra-expensive. I love their columns and designers. I especially like the Crochet Potpourri column that lets me write in and ask other readers for particular patterns. They have been publishing for over 25 years and boy, do they do it right! I tell all my crocheting friends about this terrific magazine.

I did subscribe but definitely will not renew. This magazine is out-of-style for my taste. But there's hope reader...buy or subscribe to Crochet Today magazine instead.

I am one of the people who enjoys Crochet World magazine. It does have patterns that are dated, as in, inspired by yesteryear. If you like classic style and throwback doily patterns, you will like this magazine. It's not for everyone. Check out an issue on a newsstand and you'll be able to tell right away if this is your kind of magazine.

My mother received this magazine when another (much better) crochet magazine went out of business. The remainder of her paid subscription was filled in with this magazine. Even in a "crafty" sense, this magazine is terrible. Every pattern is ugly and totally outdated. Perhaps these things would be considered "cute" in the '50s or '60s, but no one today save nostalgic grandmothers would consider making these patterns. Don;t waste your time or money.

I dont have any thing to say right now. Sorry.
