Not that I've ever heard of. If you think about the structure of crochet there would be two main problems with designing a machine to do crochet. First, knit stitches are basically loops pulled through, all neat in a row, not loops within loops and around loops and then through loops like crochet. The movement that creates knit stitches can be done by moving a hook in and out in and out in the same place, without moving or twisting the hook in any way. But that isn't true of crochet. Second, crochet fabrics are often circular or three dimensional whereas the fabrics created by knitting machines are of only two forms: rectangles and tubes. The rectangles are made by going back and forth, without turning the fabric, and without increasing or decreasing stitches. The tubes are made by going around and around a tube. These are where knitting's strengths lie, but not so with crochet.
