Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The history of crochet is a fascinating journey that spans centuries and cultures. And today we are talking about this craft that involves creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn or thread with a hooked needle. While its exact origins are difficult to pinpoint, we will dive into its rich history and discover stories that will change how you see our craft from this point forward.

    I never thought crochet would have such an interesting history! I'm a 15 year old who learned to crochet by myself so i have something to do with my hands and stop me from picking my skin, hurting myself and other bad habits. Ive been following your account for maybe 2 weeks now and i love your videos! please dont stop making them, they make me happy and teach me a lot :)

    Thank you for sharing this. Fiber work & cross-median body work of all types is so healing. Stitching helped me to stop biting my nails, picking apart my own skin, & chill out my racing, intrusive cPTSD thoughts. It’s an active meditation which creates something pretty/useful/fun to give &/or enjoy myself. Stitching with a cup of coffee/tea & an audiobook is my bit of heaven on Earth… front porch swing & curled up cat or dog makes it about perfect.

    Very interesting. When my late wife and I married in 1969, we received gifts that were crocheted. Especially in the wave pattern. That must have been really popular!! Two years later, when our daughter was born, she received a plethora of sweaters, bonnets, and booties, all crocheted by aunts and great grandmother's. Here I am, 52 years later, crocheting blankets and shawls and hats for charity giving. Now that's progress!!😂

    During my young years (1960’s) when brides were ready to get married, we would all go the the Convent of the Sisters of Notre Dame to get our (top) sheets for the trouseau made there, all linen with the most gorgeous embroidery and bobbin laces that you could imagine. Then we would wait for that special occasion when we had babies and had to be in the hospital for three to five days to receive visitors. Then the old families would save and pass down the baptism ensembles also made of handkerchief linen with gorgeous hand embroidery and french laces. And then… came first communion girls’ dresses, again hand made bobbin laces and embroidery. But of course that was in the last century. Traditions!!!

    The knitter snobbery is real in my community! We have two yarn shops with space to come in and work on projects together. One shop welcomes everyone with open arms and the other shop has only knitters because they make the crocheters feel very unwelcome…I have always wondered when this started and why?

    I’m so sad to hear about this prejudice continuing on to this day. My Mother told me about it, but thankfully in the way that made certain I knew it was wrong. It has its’ roots in Catholic/Protestant conflicts & continued on in America as anti-immigrant bias. I was taught knitting to mastery before learning any crochet. Largely because my Mother had to teach herself what little crochet she (a master weaver, seamstress, knitter, & embroiderer) knew, as she was highly discouraged by any of her family or friends. She was extremely proud of anything I made for her, especially when I learned crochet lace. You’re better off stitching & spending your $$$ in an inclusive place. ❤ It’s their loss, in so many ways.

    My grandmother taught me how to crochet around 1985. I didn't understand I had to make increases to make a flat table cloth, so my first project just turned into kind of a sausage shape. I stuffed it with cotton and made a tale and called it a mouse! I loved that thing (I was around 5 at the time)

    When I was a very young child my next door neighbour was an elderly Greek lady. She was always crocheting, always had a crochet hook & thread in her hands. She crocheted table cloths, borders for bed sheets; a variety of different kinds of lace work. I was too young to ask her to teach me though I was always in awe.

Now I crochet almost daily making blankets with acrylic yarn & tablecloths with cotton thread & occasionally with acrylic thread. I never knew all of this history even though I have a book on Irish crochet. Soon I will be teaching my girlfriend's great granddaughter to crochet. She is 9 years old. Thank you & keep hooking!

They used to test how fine the lace was by passing it through a wedding ring. Great if, like me, you have big hands for a woman. I also watched some vintage footage of Shetland shawl knitting (BBC 1964 - more valuable than gold) where they hold one needle under their arm and their hands moved so quickly it almost looked like they were pretending to knit! Thank you for this, I really appreciate the effort you put in to research for this video. Ps, my grandmother was called Elise, so my niece's middle name is Elise. Beautiful name, but I am biased 🥰

    Thank you for a really interesting dive into the history of Crochet . With the invention of knitting machines and lace making machines, their production costs plummeted, as did their appeal to the wealthy classes. Unlike Knitting, crochet has never been replicated by a machine so this has probably affected its appeal in terms of fashion and affordability.

    I do medieval reenactment and I crochet. I have been told that crocheting introduced after the timeframe we reenact. I was told I have to knit if I want to be in "period". I can only cast on and do the knit stitch. This will help me on proving crocheting was used during the timeframe. I just didn't realize when the lacy items were done. I am portraying a woman during the 1400's-1500's French/Italian. Italy "owned part of France between the mid 1300's to the mid 1800's. The area became part of the House of Savoy . I was born in that area (years later) and I also have the Italian family on my mother's side. This will be a win-win situation for me. Thank you for sharing!

    Beautiful Elise!! Thank you for a FaNtASTIC video on the history of crochet. I normally wouldn't do this, but because I've been "on the online" for going on 30 years, I wanted to pop in with a little of the history of modern crafting, how knitting and crochet came back. Yes, in the 80's and 90's, things died down for a while... but even from the beginnings of the mainstreaming of the internet (ie from about 1994, 1995 or so)... "making" was making a comeback, with both knit and crochet leading the way. I remember because I was there. I learned how to both knit and crochet in 1996 from a dear friend. I was 24 at the time. Meanwhile this thing called "the internet" was becoming more and more online, so to speak - at the time had just graduated from NYU with a masters in computer science and immediately went to work as an engineer for a series of NYC Digital Alley startups. Meanwhile, as websites for individuals started to become more and more ubiquitous, crafters were coming online and creating crafting sites and blogs - mostly knitting and crochet. These were the precursors to the Instagram, TikTok and KZread that we have today... and believe me they were just as popular. Knitty.com broke new ground... but even before that there were so many websites and blogs made by young makers. There was a real feeling of "hey, these crafts are 'cool' again" and many women in their mid-20's at the time were embracing them. There was a feminist slant, too, lead by Debbie Stoller of BUST magazine. That period of 1998-2004, 2005 or so was simply MAGICAL. Local yarn shops started opening in bigger cities (I remember when Purl Soho opened, The Point which is gone now... and more that I can't remember)... the hot patterns were published in the craft books of the day, which were being published at a rate that I could barely keep up. Of course, the one who really brought. it all home was Debbie, whose book 2003 STITCH N'BITCH became the definitive "how to knit" book and at that point, the scene EXPLODED. I remember thinking that Debbie's book, along with. Jean Railla's LET'S GET CRAFTY: HIP HOME EC made it official: this crafting thing was a THING and no longer just in the realm of aunties and grannies. The slant back then was young feminist, but of course that opened the doors to everyone and the richness of influences that we have now. Debbie's crochet book (STITCH N'BITCH: THE HAPPY HOOKER) followed in 2006 and that was that. Etsy in 2005, KZread in 2005... and then Ravelry in 2007, made patterns even more accessible and opened up channels for makers and designers to sell their patterns and work directly to the public. I love your video and wanted to pop in here, because while this bit is probably out of scope for your video, I personally would like to acknowledge the crafters, makers and designers who really were at the forefront of the modern craft movement a generation ago, who helped shape it as we know it today. I am soooo grateful to them, and to KZreadrs like yourself, who have contributed so very much to my enjoyment of the craft. Thank you for all that you do!

I think when we're done with our latest projects (fall flowers for a wreath and decorative pumpkins) We're going to watch this video. I think they would love to learn the history of crochet. Thank you for making your videos simple enough that even a beginner can understand and follow along.🧶

    etymology of crochet is French/Germanic. crochet (n.) "kind of knitting done with a needle with a hook at one end," 1846, from French crochet "small hook; canine tooth" (12c.), diminutive of croc "hook," from Old Norse krokr "hook," which is of obscure origin but perhaps related to the widespread group of Germanic kr- words meaning "bent, hooked." So called for the hooked needle used. Crochet-needle is from 1848; crochet-work from 1856; crochet-hook from 1849.
