Crockhet is an activity of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials by using a crochet hook. The name comes from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. These are made of materials such as material, wood, or plastic and are created commercially and produced in artisan workshops. The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that all stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with another one, while knitting continues a large quantity of stitches open at a time. (Variant varieties such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick ribbons keep multiple crochet stitches available at a time.
Basic materials required for crochet are a hook plus some type of material that will be crocheted, most commonly yarn or thread. Yarn, one of the very most widely 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 cloth, or making related accessories. For example cardboard cutouts, that can be used to make tassels, fringe, and a great many other items; a pom-pom circle, used to make pom-poms; a tape solution and a gauge strategy, both used for calculating crocheted work and keeping track of stitches; a row counter; and occasionally clear plastic rings, which are used for special projects. 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.
