Crochet, like knitting or weaving, is used to turn yarn into fabric. Crocheted fabrics tend to be less stretchy than knitting and thicker than knitting. They tend to be more stretchy than weaving and more textured than weaving.
Crochet is especially well suited for making afghans, scarves, lacy edgings and doilies, and stuffed animals. However, you can also use crochet to make sweaters, socks, hats, and just about any other sort of fabric item.
