ETYM French crochet small hook. Related to Croche.
Something created by interlocking looped stitches with a hooked needle; SYN. crocheting.
Craft technique similar to both knitting and lacemaking, in which one hooked needle is used to produce a loosely looped network of wool or cotton.
Remains of crocheted clothing have been discovered in 4th-century Egyptian tombs. In 19th-century Europe the craft was popular among Victorian ladies, and the availability of fine machine-made thread made it possible to create fine laces. Both garments and trims are still produced by crocheting.

1. To create by looping or crocheting
