crocheting
Yarn hook art
Crocheting is the craft of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn or thread with a hooked needle.
Unlike knitting, which uses two needles, crocheting builds each stitch independently, making it easier to correct mistakes.
The term covers both the activity and its products: She took up crocheting during the pandemic, The baby blanket is her own crocheting.
