Crockhet is a process of creating textile by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials by using a crochet hook. The name comes from the French term crochet, indicating 'small hook'. They are made of materials such as metallic, wood, or plastic and are produced commercially and produced in artisan workshops. The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used because of their production, is that all stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with the next one, while knitting maintains a large number of stitches open at the same time. (Variant varieties such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches wide open at a time.
Basic materials required for crochet are a hook and some type of material which will be crocheted, mostly yarn or thread. Yarn, one of the most frequently used materials for crocheting has varying weights which need to be taken into consideration when following habits. Additional tools are convenient for keeping stitches counted, measuring crocheted textile, or making related accessories. For example cardboard cutouts, which is often used to make tassels, fringe, and a great many other items; a pom-pom group, used to make pom-poms; a tape solution and a gauge measure, both used for calculating crocheted work and counting stitches; a row counter; and occasionally clear plastic rings, which are used for special tasks. Lately, yarn choices have changed beyond synthetic and plant and animal-based fibres to include bamboo, qiviut, hemp, and banana stalks, to name a few.
