How old is Knitting and Crocheting?
Knitting is older, but crochet was possibly done first and then abandoned for the much more versatile knitting. There are some very old strings of beads that included looped stitches similar to crochet, but no crochet fabric. Hooked needles appear in various places in history, but more for embroidery than for making cloth. Crochet vanished for thousands of years and re-appeared in the mid 1700’s as “shepherd’s knitting”. It reached it’s peak in the 1800’s when Victorian ladies considered it a “high art needlework” Crochet was used to make laces, most crochet was worked with fine lace threads until the latter part of the 1800’s. The Irish were masters of delicate crochet lace.
Knitting also has it’s origins lost in the mists of time. The first knitted objects that still exist were knitted socks worked in a knot and loop technique similar to modern knitting. Real knitting on two needles traces back to the middle east and moved to Europe with the Ottomans.This makes sense as the word “knitting” makes it’s first English appearance in the late 1400’s. while it appears earlier in eastern European languages. Knot and loop knitting was quickly replaced with two needle modern knitting, it was faster and produced a stretchy supple, warm fabric. They only used the knit stitch, the purl stitch wasn’t invented until the 1600’s. Yarn overs came in the late 1600’s, then knit two together for shaping and soon lace knitting started.
So crochet isn’t very old, but it’s ancient. Knitting is newer, but people have been doing it for much longer. And the true origins and age of both are lost in history.
