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, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans,
pillow covers, and bedspreads.
