Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook.

The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning small hook.

These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and are manufactured commercially and produced in artisan workshops.

The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with the next one, while knitting keeps a large number of stitches open at a time.

(Variant forms such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time).

Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).
