Best Answer

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.

Crochet hats and scarves are practical items with both crochet and knitting. Crochet potholders are another practical item when using cotton yarn and working two sides for a thick potholder. Crochet and knit baby blankets are a wonderful gift for new mothers.
