crochetings

Looped textile handiwork

Crochetings are items made by crocheting—the craft of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with a hooked needle.

The word covers finished pieces like blankets, scarves, doilies, or decorative items: Her crochetings filled every surface of the living room.

Less common than saying "crocheted items" or simply "crochet."
