There are many different types of crochet. This is a method of making a fabric using yarn or thread, normally using a crochet hook. As you will see in the following examples, some crochet styles deviate from the normal crochet hook. What style you choose will all depend on your desired outcome as well as your experience level of course.
The filet stitch is probably the oldest crochet stitch. It uses a series of double crochets and chains to make solid or closed mesh spaces and open mesh spaces. The open and closed mesh spaces are utilized to form fine laces, wall hangings, and table clothes. It is said that this method dates back to 1600.
Aran crochet is a series of cables that form a variety of designs in the fabric. By using stitches that are built around the post of the stitch rather than a front, back, or both loops, the resulting design is raised to make the cable. There are many cable variations, including double and triple cable stitches.
Broomstick crochet, or lace, is a series of crochet stitches created with a regular crochet hook over the stick of a broom. It can also be performed over the end of a knitting needle or other tubular device. This is also known as Witchcraft Lace.
One of the most popular types of crochet is the Afghan stitch. This is also known as the Tunisian stitch or Tricot stitch. The rows are worked in both directions, without turning the fabric. Instead of working the top loops, the fabric is created by working the bars of the stitch. There are many more types of crochet variations you can discover.
