For starters, if you have an interest in history you'll want to know that the word crochet has French origins and comes from the word that means "hook". Crochet is a method of working loops into an interlocked chain. What you do is gather each loop and then bring it through the previous loop in your chain. This method is called crochet and its origins are not entirely clear. It seems to date back as far as the early renaissance period.

This is of little importance really. You probably want to cut to the chase and know whether crochet is a hard skill to pick up. Okay, I'll be honest. Hard is different to different people. If you were to suffer from arthritis then this kind of activity, using the hands, could prove hard. If you suffer from any condition causing joint pain, then crochet may not be a good choice for you.

Assuming that you are not suffering from pain, let's take a look at the level of skill you'll need. Again, hard is a relative term. Every person is dexterous to a certain degree. You may have heard the phrase "all thumbs". Some people are unable to hold a pen straight or hold a nail to hammer. For these people, crochet would be a very daunting task. Others may take to crochet like a duck to water and pick it up very easily. Some people can do it with their eyes closed or whilst watching TV. They have become that confident in the art of crochet and you could too.

The most honest answer I can leave you with is this. Anybody can learn the techniques of crochet and become brilliant. If you take a look at the resource review in my signature you will learn how to master this great art quickly and easily.
