This type of crocheted lace is gridlike because it uses only two crochet stitches the chain stitch and the double crochet stitch United States U.S. terminology known in some other countries as chain stitch and treble . Chain stitches use less yarn than double crochet stitches, which results in a visual difference in appearance between the two kinds of stitch.

Image Blue crocheting thread.jpg right thumb 200px Crochet thread. Crochet thread is specially formulated thread usually made from mercerized cotton for crafting decorative crochet items such as doily doilies or filet crochet . Crochet thread produces fabric of fine gauge knitting gauge that may be stiffened with starch . Differences from yarn and sewing thread Crochet thread is almost always produced from cotton and has a denser pile and smaller diameter than ordinary yarn . Most crochet threads are thicker in diameter than sewing yarn. Crochet thread can withstand considerable stresses from pulls with sharp hooks. Crochet manufacturing conventions treat thread and yarn quite differently manufacturers designate different sizing scales for thread and yarn. Thread is generally packaged on spool s instead of skeins or hanks and is offered for sale in a separate section from ordinary yarns or threads. Crochet hooks for use with thread are also sized according to a different scale from yarn hooks. Thread hooks are also manufactured differently from yarn hooks modern yarn hooks are usually aluminum or plastic , while thread hooks are made of steel and have smaller hook heads and shorter shanks. The division between yarn and thread is somewhat arbitrary crochet thread at its thickest is similar in diameter and behavior to fine cotton yarn. The largest sizes of thread crochet hooks overlap with the smallest sizes of yarn crochet hooks.

Image Tunisian crochet hook.jpg right thumb 200px a Tunisian crochet hook. Tunisian crochet , also known as Afghan crochet , is a type of crochet that uses an elongated crochet hook hook , often with a stopper on the handle end, called an Afghan hook. It is sometimes considered to be a mixture of crocheting and knitting . As such, some techniques used in knitting are also applicable in Tunisian crochet. One example is the Intarsia knitting intarsia method. The work is begun with the traditional starting chain, a series of slip stitches. Once the chain is completed, the first row is worked by inserting the hook back into the previous link of the chain, and a loop from the free end of the yarn is grabbed with the hook and pulled back through the link. Unlike traditional crochet, however, this new loop is not then pulled through the initial loop. Both remain on the hook and then the process is repeated, working from right to left, until each link in the chain has been worked. At the end, there will be as many loops on the hook as there are stitches required. This process is called Casting on knitting casting on . This is the first of two parts for creating a row. The work is never turned. Once the correct number of loops is obtained, the process is reversed with each loop being worked off from the hook by pulling a fresh loop of yarn through each stitch, working from left to right ... than in standard crochet or knitting.

Image Crochetstitchmarkers.jpg right thumb 200px Crochet stitch markers. In crochet , a stitch marker is a mnemonic device used to distinguish important locations on a work in progress. Crochet patterns have a mathematics mathematical basis, so stitch markers serve as a visual reference that takes the place of continuous stitch counting and reduces a crocheter s error rate. Common uses for stitch markers include noting the first stitch on a crochet round, marking increase or decrease points, or identifying key locations in a complex repetitive stitch pattern. ref Eckman, pp. 21 22, 154. ref Beginning crocheters may use stitch markers to identify a turning chain . ref Eckman, p.90. ref Stitch markers can also designate attachment points for components of a multi part project, such as a sleeve on a sweater . ref Stoller, P. 23. ref Crochet often employs complex lace lacy patterns where stitch markers are helpful.

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date July 2007 Freeform crochet and knitting is a seemingly random combination of crochet , knitting and possibly other fibre arts to make a piece that is not constrained by patterns, colours, stitches or other limitations. The roots of this art are thought to be in the 1960s and 1970s but the late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen a revival and progression of this form of textile expression. Well known freeformers are Penny O neill, James Walters, Sylvia Cosh, Jenny Dowde, Jan Messent, Margaret Hubert, http www.eject.com.au e motive prudence gallery.htm Prudence Mapstone and others. One feature of this freeform art is that group pieces can be made by people of varying expertise and experience. Leftover and scrap yarn can be made into scrumbles that can later be joined together. The name scrumbles was coined by James Walter and Syliva Cosh during the 1990s and has remained the term since.
