Crochet (as related to)

Crochet is a needlework technique that uses a hooked needle, called a crochet hook, to create fabric by pulling yarn or thread through loops. It involves forming a series of interconnected stitches, which can be combined to make a variety of textiles, from clothing to decorative items. Unlike knitting, which uses multiple needles, crochet typically uses one hook, allowing for intricate patterns and textures. The process is versatile, enabling the creation of both dense, sturdy fabrics and delicate, lacy designs. Crochet is valued for its precision, portability, and the ability to produce custom, handcrafted items efficiently.
