• The art of using a hook and yarn to make something.
The discovery
• 1700 based on a Chinese needle work– “Tambour”• Thin needle to make loops• Background cloth that was used to build work
• Transition from background fabric to the “air crochet” by the French in the 18th century– Riego de la Branchardiere known for her art to
make crocs
Crochet all over the world
• Ireland – Used the art to save some from the famine• From 1845 to 1850• The earnings from the sales collected money for them
to start a new life
• French– Used to help with the harsh winters• In France, temps averagely don’t rise above 50⁰
Development of the technique
• Hold – During the area of 1824 to 1833 yarn and hook
held in the same hand – Today you hold the yarn in one hand and the hook
in another• Rows– During the 1800s they cut off the yarn at each row– Now the yarn is only cut off when switching colors
