Crochet Is NOT Knitting

Everyone knows what knitting is:

Knitted Fabric (stockinette stitch)


Crocheted Fabric (shell stitches made of double crochet and chain stitches)

However, when you say CROCHET people may give you a questioning look.  You can read their mind: "What's that?"

Knitting uses 2 or 3 needles and yarn.  Crochet uses a hook and yarn.
Both use strands of yarn to create a textured fabric.
BUT
Often crochet produces a heavier or bulkier fabric.
