The exact origins of crochet are not certain. It is likely that the word "crochet" comes from the Middle French word, "croc" or "crochet" which means hook, and crochet first appears to have become popular in Europe during the 19th century - the earliest written reference to crochet appears in a book first published in 1812 (where it is referred to as "shepherd's knitting"). It is possible that crochet did evolve from older traditions, and there are theories that crochet evolved from earlier practices, perhaps in France, South America, Arabia or China.
