A Little History of Crochet
Crochet:
origin-Old Norse word, "krokr" meaning hook and the Middle French word,
"croc or croche" meaning hook. According to the research, crochet
possibly developed from Chinese needlework. This was an ancient form of
embroidery which was brought to Europe in the
1700s where it was referred to as “tambouring” from the French
word “tambour” meaning drum. At the end of the 18th century, “tambour” evolved into what the French called
"crochet in the air.". In the early 1800s, Mlle. Riego de
la Branchardiere brought crocheting to
life by turning old-style needle and bobbin lace designs into crochet
pattern, making it easier for the public to duplicate. History states that
she invented "Irish Crochet".
Since crochet is made from threads, there is very little evidence
of it earlier than the 1700s. Though glimpses of possible connections are traced back in to the past, no
direct link has been proven that these earlier forms were
actually Crochet. Over the years, crochet has become quite popular. It
is an easy skill to learn. There are a variety of yarns and threads
available, plus various size hooks. Patterns are readily available for everything from rugs
to sweaters, to shawls. A variety of instructional books are also available.
