Crochet is a method of making fabric from yarn or thread, much like knitting. In both crochet and knitting, loops of yarn are pulled through other loops to make fabric. Crochet is a similar process, but you use a crochet hook to pull loops through a slipknot. You can pull multiple loops through the knot and, if you use a fine thread, you can make highly intricate and delicate patterns. Crochet is hotter than ever, and there are many magazines that reflect this growing trend.
