Have you ever wondered about the origins of crochet? Its like uncovering the threads of a rich tapestry! Did you know that crochet has roots dating back to the 19th century, with its popularity surging in Europe? Its amazing how this art form has stood the test of time and evolved into the intricate and diverse craft we know today. The first known published instructions for crochet explicitly using that term to describe the craft in its present sense appeared in the Dutch magazine Penélopé in 1823. This includes a colour plate showing five styles of purse, of which three were intended to be crocheted with silk thread.
