Is quilting easier than crocheting?

This truly is a matter of opinion. One could argue that crocheting is easier than knitting because there is only one needle/hook, as opposed to the two needles in knitting. However, knitting is simpler (there is a difference between "simple" and "easy") than crocheting, having fewer basic stitches and an easier-to-understand material. The basic stitches in crochet are easier to learn, but are also easy to mess up. The basic knitting stitches are harder to master, but once learned, are more difficult to mess up. In all, I would recommend that younger children learn to knit, and anyone over the age of 10 to do either, though crocheting might have the advantage, since it usually takes less time to do.

What is the hardest stitch in crochet?

What one crocheter finds difficult, another person might find easy, so it is hard to say which would be the most difficult stitch to work for you personally. The hardest stitch is probably the first one you learn after the chain stitch, usually either single or double crochet. The stitch itself isn't hard, but it is awkward at first learning something new. Once you know the chain, single and double crochet, half doubles, trebles and all the variations beyond the treble come easily because they are so similar to the single and double crochet. As with knitting, it isn't the actual stitch that brings an opportunity for life-long study of crochet, but the infinite number of ways those stitches can be combined and manipulated. Bobbles and clusters, working around posts, reaching to stitches in rows below, twisting, picots...all of these are simply manipulations of the three basic stitches (chain, single crochet and double crochet). Addition to first answer: A good answer, but -- I once surveyed 12 crochet experts on this exact question, and they all said the bullion stitch.
