Abstract:
Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts.
To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a
fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the
French word “croche,” meaning “hook.” The crochet
hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate
lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came
into being, and crocheting became a separate art.
Crocheting appeals to many people because it can
be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves,
caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, laces, doilies,
tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads.
