Crochet is a way of making fabric from yarn or crochet thread by using a crochet hook The word crochet actually means 'hook'

When starting a crochet project you simply start off with a slip knot insert the crochet hook through the loop wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it through the first loop Continue wrapping the yarn over the hook and pulling it through the previous loop until you have reached a desirable length Each loop as it is passed through the previous loop is called a chain

Once the chains have been made you can join the last chain to the first chain with a slip knot to form a circle and work in rounds or you can simply turn the chains and work in rows When working in rows the work gets turned at the end of every row but when working in rounds you have the option as to whether you want to turn or not The patterns will let you know when and when not to turn

A crochet stitch is made when the yarn is wrapped around the hook and one or more loops is pulled through the chain or the stitches from the previous row or previous round The great thing about crochet is that at the end of each stitch there is only one active loop remaining on the hook

With crocheting you can create all kinds of neat fabrics such as doilies table cloths bedspreads and afghans Plus you can make your own clothes anything like sweaters ponchos skirts scarves hats headbands socks and slippers Other items such as bags purses dish cloths place mats and napkins can also be crocheted
