Crochet

crafts · yarn · textiles · patience

One hook, one loop.. Unlike knitting which uses two needles, crochet uses just one special hook to grab and pull yarn through loops, one stitch at a time.

Finished before moving on.. The coolest part about crochet is that each stitch is totally done before you start the next one, which means you can't mess up as easily as with knitting.

Named after French.. The word 'crochet' comes from the French word for hook, because the technique was popularized in France way back.

Many materials work.. You can use yarn, thread, or even strands of other materials like fabric strips or plastic to create your crochet projects.

Hooks come in varieties.. Crochet hooks come in different sizes and materials like metal, bamboo, or plastic, and the size you pick changes how your finished project looks and feels.
