A very short encyclopedia entry defining crochet. It gives the etymology of the word (French for hook) and describes crochet as fancywork in which linen, cotton, worsted, or silk thread is looped with a hooked needle to make decorative and useful articles. It notes that varied patterns and openwork come from twisting the thread or passing over loops.
