A type of crochet which makes a lace, is called tatting. There are various ways to make tatting.You can make tatting with a shuttle, or a needle, or needle and crochet hook (cro-tat).Tatting is a process which is different than crochet or knitting. The stitches are made differently than those in crochet and knitting.

Certainly! There's a special product called crochet thread that is used to make doilies and fine table cloths, as well as lace edgings. Crochet thread comes in various sizes and colors. It is mercerized and spun tightly to make it easier to crochet.

Mademoiselle Riego de la Blanchardaire *********** No one particular person "invented" crochet, to my knowledge. The woman listed above did publish the first book of Irish lace crochet patterns (1846). You can still buy a reprint of her book several places online.

It is a form of knitting using broomsticks as needles. In modern times the broomsticks are replaced by oversized knitting needles. The method is most common in making afghans and lace where large loopy stitches are desired. Although the tool used does resemble a knitting needle, I classify broomstick lace in crochet. However, I think it is really a blend of the two. You begin by making a row of chain stitches, but the loops are kept on the hook like in knitting, but then are worked off with a crochet hook. You can find videos demonstrating the method at YouTube and also web sites with instructions that show pictures. I like to use the #50 needle, but broomstick lace can be worked with smaller needles as well.
