crochet

Craft technique similar to both knitting and lacemaking, in which one hooked needle is used to produce a 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 ladies, and the availability of fine machine-made thread made it possible to create fine laces. Garments and trims are still produced by crocheting.
