# Crochet

*Crochet makes fabric by drawing loops of yarn through other loops with a single hook, working one stitch at a time.*

Crochet stitches, from the chain to the double and treble, are built one at a time, which makes it easy to work in rounds, change shape and make lace. [Filet crochet](https://teazle.art/glossary/filet-crochet.md) and Irish crochet are lace traditions within it.
