Overview

Crocheting is an old favorite pastime, pretty much like stamp collecting, and coin collecting. These hobbies were incredibly popular back in the day when electronic gadgets didn't get in the way of our leisure time. Often times, when we imagine crochet, we think of our grandmothers crocheting a table runner or placemats in her rocking chair. At a certain time, it seemed as though the world had lost its interest in arts and craft. However, with blogs and social media accounts that focus on craft, such as Diply, Pinterest, Buzzfeed and Tastemade, crocheting and other long-forgotten handicrafts are making a comeback, albeit with a fresher twist compared to what our grandmothers used to do. Crocheting as we see it today was not how it was done back then. A quick search on Instagram will show you plenty of ways to make cool crop tops, comfortable shoes, bags, phone covers, dream catchers, as well as cute dolls. Thanks to its new techniques and tools, crocheting has turned into a trendy and modern craft. So, if you've ever looked at a crocheting video and thought, I want to do that too, then you're in luck!
