Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name is derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. Some say it works up much faster than knitting, and old-time objections that it is very stiff are now debunked with so many new fibers and techniques that can be used!
