Learn about crochet tools and materials. Many crochet instructors will say that all you need to get started are your hook and ball of yarn, but you really need more than these. We gave you the parts of a hook and the different sizes, but we’ll get into more detail here, as it is the “star” tool of any crocheting project. If there were no hooks, there would be no crochet.
Crochet, as with all hobbies, you've got your "inside language" to learn so you can understand what your fellow crochet artists are talking about. In crochet you will also learn about the basic stitches, hooks and yarns to use.
You may ask? What is crochet? Crochet (pronounced /kroʊˈʃeɪ/) is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the Middle French word croc or croche, meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.
Hook, loop and shape! This is the art of crochet! And no, this isn’t some sort of an abbreviated strategy to bait your fiancé into marriage. First you hook the poor, unsuspecting fellow, loop him into the marriage cord and then shape him to suit your taste. The male species are a lot smarter these days and it will take them lock, stock and barrel before they would even consider crawling towards the bait.
