International Crochet Day
This holiday is dedicated to all who are fond of crochet, and aims to popularize this craft. The initiator of creating this holiday was a blogger from the United States who became enthusiastic about making crochet hooks. He urged holding an international day dedicated to crocheting, and the idea found support among crafters worldwide.
Crocheting has a long history, but it is documented that this technique appeared and became popular only at the beginning of the 19th century. Crochet captivated both the poor and the wealthy, and later even royalty.
