CROCHET · FACT
Nobody knows where crochet came from
Here's a party fact for your next yarn haul: the origins of crochet are a genuine mystery. Unlike knitting, which left textile evidence back to ancient Egypt, crocheted fabric simply doesn't appear in the historical record until the early 1800s — not because nobody hooked yarn before then, but because the early techniques went by other names.
