Crochet is an art you do with a hook and any material that can be made into a thread of various thickness. Not only is it relaxing, thought absorbing and fun, but has the health benefit of exercising arthritic fingers, elbow joints and rotor cuffs. One can crochet with anything threadlike and make everything from head to toe as far as clothing, household good, upholster furniture, create pictures with crochet.... endless possibilities for every person age 8 and up, though some dexterous children even earlier.
