Crochet (English: /kroʊˈʃeɪ/;[1] French: [kʁɔʃɛ][2]) is a process of
creating textiles by using a crochet hook to interlock loops of yarn,
thread, or strands of other materials.[3] The name is derived from the
French term croc, which means 'hook'. Hooks can be made from a variety
of materials, such as metal, wood, bamboo, bone or even plastic. The key
difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for
their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before the
next one is begun, while knitting keeps many stitches open at a time.
Some variant forms of crochet, such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick
lace, do keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time.
