Warning: This WILL become an obsession.

Welcome hookers! If you're new to the world of crocheting, “crochet” comes from a French word that means to hook—hence, crocheters are hookers. If you have yet to meet a hooker, an easy place to start is on TikTok. Hookers from all over have started their own culture on the app that includes tutorials, crochet fashion, inside jokes, and much more. It's a beautiful world that you will get hooked too.

Seriously, it'll ruin you… It's addictive.

One you pop, the fun don't stop. Oh, you crocheted a little square for for the first time? GET READY TO NOW WANT TO CROCHET EVERY SHAPE IN THE WORLD. Oh, you want to get a little spicy with you shapes? EASY.
