Born from the French word ‘croche’ meaning hook, Crocheting is defined as ‘needlework’ consisting of the interlocking of looped stitches formed with a single thread and a hooked needle. The art form has evolved across civilizations and centuries as a means of creating items like hats, socks, and blankets. During World War II, American women crocheted to provide soldiers with sweaters, caps, and scarves. Back home, crocheting helped save money by creating basic household items.
