Collection: Handmade Crochet Items

The name is derived from the French term "Crochet" meaning 'hook'. Hooks can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, bamboo, or plastic.

Little is known about the crochet's history but for sure the earliest ones were made using fingers rather than hooks used today.

These are the three main theories about the Crochet's origin:

1. Started in Arabian countries and spread eastward to Tibet then to Spain.
2. Started in South America where a primitive tribe used crochet in puberty rituals.
3. Started in China where dolls were made from crochet.

There are a lot of techniques and materials used to create such an art; and you didn't hear this from us girls but, in early centuries, it was the job of MEN!!
