Crocheting has been around for centuries. The term crochet originated from the words croche or croc, which is French for hook. It is relaxing, fun and simple enough that even beginners can learn it. It is also an ideal hobby for people who want to create decorative and fashionable projects, including hats, tops, scarves, ponchos, bedspreads, doilies and tablecloths.You only need two things to crochet: a ball of yarn or thread and a hook. All stitches are created by wrapping the thread or yarn around the hook. At first, you may find it a bit confusing or difficult to do. However, as you continue to do it, the entire process will be easier for you.Most patterns begin with a series of loops, also called chains, or a slip stitch. Nevertheless, you can easily learn how to create a foundation without using a standard chain. Projects are typically worked in rows wherein you have to stitch back and forth, with every row over the previous row. You can also stitch in rounds wherein you work around a ring of chains and create a geometric figure, such as a circle, hexagon or square. You can also use a motif or a geometric piece to stitch together and form your crochet project.
