The craft or act of creating fabric or textiles using a single hook and looped yarn, forming interconnected rows of loops.
From French 'crochet' (small hook, from Old Norse kroker), with the gerund '-ing'; named for the hook tool used to pull yarn through loops.
Crochet exploded in popularity in the Victorian era and became so associated with elderly women that it became a stereotype—yet modern crocheters are mostly young people on TikTok who've transformed it into a trendy, artistic craft.
