Crockhet is an activity of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name comes from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. These are made of materials such as metallic, wood, or vinyl and are manufactured commercially and stated in artisan workshops. The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for his or her production, is that every stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with another one, while knitting will keep a large quantity of stitches open at the same time. (Variant forms such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches wide open at a time.
Basic materials necessary for crochet are a hook and some type of material that will be crocheted, mostly yarn or thread. Yarn, one of the most widely used materials for crocheting has varying weights which need to be taken into account when following patterns. Additional tools are convenient for keeping stitches counted, measuring crocheted fabric, or making related accessories. Examples include cardboard cutouts, that can be used to make tassels, fringe, and many other items; a pom-pom group, used to make pom-poms; a tape strategy and a gauge strategy, both used for calculating crocheted work and counting stitches; a row counter; and occasionally plastic material rings, which are used for special projects. In recent years, yarn options have shifted beyond man made and plant and animal-based fibres to add bamboo, qiviut, hemp, and banana stalks, to name a few.
