Types of crochet:

There are three kinds of crochets according to their shapes: pen crochet, metal crochet, metal double crochet, and a special long crochet called Tunisia crochet. The knitting method is a mixture of crochet and stick crochet. Among crochet materials, crochet made of aluminum and plastic is more common.

When crocheting, there is also a certain stress on what thread to crochet. Crochet knitting threads range from extremely fine to ultra-thick, and various beautiful patterns can be knitted with crochets of different thicknesses.
