<\/p>\n

Crochet can be a bit like Marmite \u2013 you either love it or hate it. If you\u2019re not a fan, though, it\u2019s likely that you still think of it as old fashioned and fussy. Modern crochet is bright, eye catching, practical \u2013 and it\u2019s the hot new trend of the summer.<\/p>\n

The history of crochet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What is crochet and where does it come from, anyway? \u2018Crochet\u2019 refers to the art of making thread into intricate, lace-like patterns using a hook (\u2018crochet\u2019 is French for \u2018hook\u2019). We don\u2019t know how it got started, but it gained in popularity during the Second World War. It was cheaper than lace, which was no longer readily available, and it was quick and easy to make once you\u2019d mastered the basic skills required. For this reason, it was seen as a sort of \u2018poor cousin\u2019 to lace and got the reputation of being a bit cheap and not very classy.<\/p>\n

In the 1960s and 70s, though, it really came into its own. Crochet squares were quick and easy and could be made into all sorts of things from blankets to waistcoats, which suited the homespun, rustic ethos of the period. Gradually it started to acquire its old-fashioned image and become very uncool as we moved into the 1980s, an era dedicated to manmade fabrics.<\/p>\n

Modern day crochet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now, crochet is back and it\u2019s appearing everywhere from table mats to wall hangings. The emphasis is on bright, modern colours and bold design, and the craft itself is making a comeback, with many people taking it up during lockdown. We\u2019ve put together some ideas for adding crochet to your home decor, or for making your own designs.<\/p>\n
