Knowing the ins and outs of crochet vs. macrame can open up a world of arts and crafts opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The biggest difference between crochet and macrame is that crochet stitches are made with a hook and yarn, while macrame knots are made by hand with cord or rope. The yarn used for crochet is usually thinner and softer than the cord or rope used for macrame.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their similarities, crochet and macrame have some distinct differences that you need to be aware of before buying supplies and starting on a textile art adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s dive into the key differences between crochet and macrame so that you can be prepared for your next art project.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame.png\" alt=\"crochet vs macrame\" class=\"wp-image-5814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-728x546.png 728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20800%20600'%3E%3Crect%20width='800'%20height='600'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"crochet vs macrame\" class=\"wp-image-5814 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-300x225.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-768x576.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/crochet-vs-macrame-728x546.png.webp 728w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you decide to purchase through my links.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Essential Crochet Supplies for any Crochet Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For any crochet project, there are two essential supplies you need: a crochet hook and yarn.
