Crochet is a craft that uses a hook, yarn or string, and a pattern. There are many different types of stitches. Single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, treble crochet and other variations exist. These can be used in conjunction with one another to create very unique projects. No two projects ever have to be the same. Every color, hook size, yarn or string type allows you to create something entirely different when you begin to craft your artwork!
