$6 + s/h to US & CA

There’s a certain kind of joy that comes from flipping through a vintage crochet magazine in the colder months. The projects feel cozy, the motifs feel nostalgic, and the ideas are perfectly sized for seasonal stitching—decorations, small gifts, and those “I can finish this!” weekend makes.

Hooked On Crochet! No. 42 (Nov/Dec 1993) is exactly that kind of issue. It blends winter whimsy with holiday sparkle, offering a variety of patterns that are fun to crochet, easy to gift, and charming to display year after year.

What makes Issue No. 42 so fun

This issue is a great “variety pack” for crocheters who like to bounce between project types. Instead of focusing on only one theme, it mixes seasonal décor, small accessories, and playful motif-style designs.

• Snowflake patterns (perfect for ornaments, garlands, gift toppers, and window décor)
• Holiday accents including a sweet wreath pin
• Whimsical projects like critters and themed motifs
• Cozy accessories for winter comfort and quick finishes
• A standout fantasy-inspired design that adds a little extra personality

Great ways to use the projects

If you love practical crafting, here are a few easy ways to get the most out of a winter issue like this:

• Decorate with snowflakes: stitch a set in matching thread for a cohesive look, then reuse them every season.
• Make gift toppers: smaller motifs instantly make packages feel special.
• Create “one-evening” projects: pins, small accessories, and quick décor are perfect for busy weeks.
• Build a holiday tradition: add one new handmade piece each year—your décor becomes a story.
