Crochet evolved from tambour which is known to have been practiced in the 16th century while tatting evolved from netting which originated 2000 years ago. It is clear that netting is older than tambour embroidery. What is not clear is which evolved into a modern lace making technique first. Both were popular in the 19th century.

Earliest published patterns for crochet were in the 1840's, though it was popular for an unknown period of time before that. There are some paintings of two centuries ago that might show tatting shuttles, but this is unclear. No samples from prior to 1800 have been found of either craft.
