The 'mechanics' of crochet -- looping lengths of fibre into knots -- is as old as mankind. These basics are used in fishing nets, home decorations and fabric manufacture.
Any fibre or fabric can be used for crochet -- depending on the ultimate use. For example, some children crochet flower stalks into crowns for their heads. Torn strips of t-shirts can be used to fabricate rugs. Strips of plastic bags can be crocheted together to make tote bags. The list is pretty open-ended.

Is there a machine that will do crochet?
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.
What is a tr in crochet and how is it used in creating different crochet patterns?
In crochet, a "tr" stands for treble crochet, which is a tall stitch that creates a loose and open texture in the fabric. It is used in creating different crochet patterns by adding height and creating a lacy or airy effect. The treble crochet stitch is made by wrapping the yarn twice around the hook before inserting it into the stitch, which results in a taller stitch compared to other basic crochet stitches like single or double crochet.
