$6 + s/h to US & CA

Some vintage crochet magazines feel like time capsules. Others feel like treasure chests—packed with projects that still make your heart flutter the moment you flip the cover. Crochet Fantasy No. 35 (April 1987) is one of those special issues: a romantic, bridal-themed collection designed for keepsakes, celebrations, and meaningful gift-making.

If you love crochet that leans elegant and lace-forward—gloves, delicate accessories, polished details, and heirloom home pieces—this issue was made for you.

Why this issue is a standout

Issue No. 35 is centered around weddings and special occasions, but the patterns aren’t limited to “one-day-only” use. Many of the projects are the kinds of pieces you’ll pull out again for anniversaries, vow renewals, bridal showers, and sentimental gifting.

• Bridal and bridal-party accessories (perfect for adding handmade detail to a special day)
• Keepsake gifts that feel personal and timeless
• Romantic wearables with that classic Crochet Fantasy style
• Heirloom home pieces that make a celebration feel beautifully “finished”
• A memorable detail: a project that includes a vest for the groom for a true vintage wedding moment

How to make bridal crochet feel modern (without losing the charm)

Vintage patterns have a distinctive look, and that’s part of the appeal. But you can easily update the feel with a few smart choices:

• Choose contemporary colors (ivory, champagne, soft blush, or crisp white are timeless).
• Use high-definition fibers to let lace and texture shine (cotton blends can be lovely for structure).
• Focus on finishing: weave in ends carefully and block when appropriate for a clean, polished look.
• Repurpose motifs for modern use—think gift toppers, bouquet wraps, or keepsake accents.

A perfect issue for collectors and gift-makers

Whether you’re collecting Crochet Fantasy back issues or simply looking for projects that feel meaningful, No. 35 delivers that “special occasion” energy in the best way. It’s romantic, detailed, and full of inspiration for anyone who loves elegant crochet.
