International Crochet Day

Perhaps an American crochet hook cutter joked in 2007 when he announced an international crochet holiday on his blog, but the idea received worldwide support, and now fans of this hobby celebrate the holiday with handicraft exhibitions, flash mobs, master classes and just friendly gatherings.

For crochet enthusiasts, both beginners and experienced, the day of September 12 has become the date when they  can  demonstrate their skills, and the results of creativity  by participating in events  related to this holiday. Most often, this wonderful holiday is celebrated by holding flash mobs, master classes, demonstrations, exhibitions, as well as simply sharing photos through social networks.

It is believed that crochet technique has an ancient history, but it is documented that it appeared and became widespread only in the early 19th century. At the same time, crochet gained popularity at once in all layers of society. Both the wealthy and the poor were fond crocheting. Subsequently, this hobby did not pass unnoticed even for  the representatives of the royal families.

In addition to the fact that crocheting allows you to create beautiful, unique, various items (bags, skirts, dresses, belts and capes, napkins, blouses and even coats), this hobby has a beneficial effect on the emotional state of a person, as it allows you to escape from everyday problems,  relax and relieve stress.  It's a great way of self-expression, allows you to raise self-esteem.
