Crochet is a process of creating textile by using crochet hooks to interlock loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials.
The name Crochet is derived from the French term Crochet, meaning “small hook”. Hooks can be made of different materials such as bamboo, metal, or bone. Also, sizes of hook also change according to yarn used for crocheting.
This is the most unique art and cannot be replicated by machine. Its versatility and complexity makes it very attractive. It is practiced by both men and women in various countries.
The key difference between crochet and knitting beyond implementation used for their production is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun. While knitting keeps many stitches open at a time.
As mentioned above Tom Daley, olympic gold winner British Diver learned to crochet to keep calm, there are several health benefits of crocheting. Art and crafts are more than just fun; they are truly healing and therapeutic. Crocheting does not just help you if you are sick, it helps the caregivers around you, your family, and friends that help you, love you, and support you.
