Crocheting has been around for centuries. The term crochet originated from the words croche or croc, which is French for hook. It is relaxing, fun and simple enough that even beginners can learn it. It is also an ideal hobby for people who want to create decorative and fashionable projects, including hats, tops, scarves, ponchos, bedspreads, doilies and tablecloths.
You only need two things to crochet: a ball of yarn or thread and a hook. All stitches are created by wrapping the thread or yarn around the hook. At first, you may find it a bit confusing or difficult to do. However, as you continue to do it, the entire process will be easier for you.
Most patterns begin with a series of loops, also called chains, or a slip stitch. Nevertheless, you can easily learn how to create a foundation without using a standard chain. Projects are typically worked in rows wherein you have to stitch back and forth, with every row over the previous row. You can also stitch in rounds wherein you work around a ring of chains and create a geometric figure, such as a circle, hexagon or square. You can also use a motif or a geometric piece to stitch together and form your crochet project.

There are several theories about the appearance of crochet work in history:

• Annie Potter, a world traveler and crochet expert, said that crocheting started in the 16th century. Back then, it was called chain lace in England and crochet lace in France.
• Lis Paludan, a writer and researcher from Denmark, had three theories. She said that crochet may have originated in Arabia then spread westwards to Spain and eastward to Tibet, eventually making its way to Mediterranean countries. She also said that crochet's earliest evidence was found in South America and particularly three-dimensional dolls, which were found in China.
• Another theory was that crochet has already been known in 1500's in Italy called nun's lace or nun's work; another one is that crochet was directly developed from Chinese needlework, which is an ancient form of embroidery known in India, Turkey, North Africa and Persia and has reached Europe in the 1700's.

Today, Crochet keeps on advancing and growing. And it ended up becoming an artistic expression for everyone. Read on and become an artist of your own too.
