CROCHET
Crochet is a kind of needlework consisting of the interlocking of looped
stitches formed with single thread and a hooked needle. It is a process of creating
fabric from yarn, thread, or other material strands. It has become one of the
preferred hobbies during leisure time dominantly by women, young and old, since
you could produce an item within a short period of time. But now, even men are
engaging to perform such skills.
The word is derived from the French word "croche", meaning hook which
has been used in the intricate process of lacemaking. Crochet differs from knitting

2
in a way that only one stitch is active at one time, and a single crochet hook is used
instead of two knitting needles.
No one really knows the origin of crochet. However, it is widely known that
the fine crochet was worked on by nuns in the 16th century in Europe, Ireland. What
do you think is the first crocheted product ever produced? Right! It is the laced mats
pioneered by the Irish and universally known as Irish crochet. At that time, nuns
taught it to their pupils and the proceeds derived from the sales of crocheted articles
helped alleviate poverty of the Irish people. Crochet articles give a lacy effect. They
are also durable and the designs can be easily created by combining a variety of
yarn with different colors and crochet stitches. At present, there are several
crocheted articles available in the market such as shawls, blouses, and sweaters.
Other interesting products are table runners, doilies and curtains, bags and
decorative edgings for handkerchiefs.
