The earliest dated reference in English to garments made of cloth produced by looping yarn with a hook- shepherd's knitting-is in The Memoirs of a Highland Lady by Elizabeth Grant (1797–1830). The instructions prescribe the use of a tambour needle (as illustrated below) and introduce a number of decorative techniques. The third purse is made entirely in double-crochet. The second (illustrated here) starts in a semi-open form ( demi jour), where chain-stitch arches alternate with equally long segments of slip-stitch crochet, and closes with a star made with "double-crochet stitches" ( dubbelde hekelsteek: double-crochet in British terminology single-crochet in US). The first is "simple open crochet" ( crochet simple ajour), a mesh of chain-stitch arches. This includes a colour plate showing five styles of purse, of which three were intended to be crocheted with silk thread. The first known published instructions for crochet explicitly using that term to describe the craft in its present sense appeared in the Dutch magazine Penélopé in 1823. Earlier work identified as crochet was commonly made by nålebinding, a different looped yarn technique.Ī crocheted purse described in 1823 in Penélopé Knitted textiles survive from as early as the 11th century CE, but the first substantive evidence of crocheted fabric emerges in Europe during the 19th century. Origins 19th century crochet from Orvieto, Italy In 1567, the tailor of Mary, Queen of Scots, Jehan de Compiegne, supplied her with silk thread for sewing and crochet, " soye à coudre et crochetz". The word crochet subsequently came to describe both the specific type of textile, and the hooked needle used to produce it. It was used in 17th-century French lace-making, where the term crochetage designated a stitch used to join separate pieces of lace. The word crochet is derived from the French crochet, a diminutive of croche, in turn from the Germanic croc, both meaning "hook". Some variant forms of crochet, such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace, do keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time.ĭemonstration of crochet technique Etymology The key difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the next one is begun, while knitting keeps many stitches open at a time. Hooks can be made from a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, bamboo, or plastic. The name is derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'hook'. Crochet ( English: / k r oʊ ˈ ʃ eɪ/ French: ) is a process of creating textiles by using a crochet hook to interlock loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials.
