76. A Review of Human Factors Research on People Who Crochet
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionCrochet is a handicraft which involves yarn and a single tool of similar size to a pencil, with a 180-degree hook at one end, called a crochet hook. The crafter employs different stitch techniques with the yarn and hook to create a variety of finished projects, from blankets to clothing to plush toys. In many studies that have been conducted, multiple fiber arts have been studied together (e.g. knitting, crocheting, embroidery) and there is relatively little work isolating individual fiber arts. It is expected that there are several knowledge gaps as a result of limited HFE work on fiber arts and crochet specifically. These gap areas include demographics, biomechanics, physical skill development, limiting factors within the learning process, and factors influencing continued engagement. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of existing literature on the physical, cognitive, and social effects of crochet on both experienced and novice crafters.
