Crochet in Song Lyrics
“The Crochet Song Prod” by Uni’Q and CMajor
This song dropped in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when there was an explosion of new crocheters hitting the scene during lockdown. What a fun way to celebrate this craft!
“Crochet All Day” by Chuck E. Cheese
Even Chuck E Cheese got into crocheting during lockdowns. This cute and catchy song shows how Chuck E Cheese tried so many fun hobbies, but fell in love with crochet and now crochets all day!
“The Incredibly Expensive One of a Kind Crochet Wool Sweater Song” from Pony Songs by Cats Millionaire
A throwback from “My Little Pony” days, this song is silly yet the emo representation we all needed growing up.
“Out My Mind, Just in Time” by Erykah Badu
This song has the line, “I’d pray for you, crochet for you, make it from scratch for you” which truly does speak to the dedication and love that goes into our handmade items.
“Futile Devices” by Sufjan Stevens
With the line “When you crochet I feel mesmerized and proud”, crocheters can feel the well-earned respect and admiration that our dedication to our craft deserves.
“Sunlight” by Tabi Bonney
“My plans got crocheted” speaks to how life is sometimes unpredictable and doesn’t go the way we imagine. This line is great wordplay, as crochet is often used as a craft to help self-regulate and process big emotions.
“As long as I have you I’m home” by Imaginary Future
This sad ballad speaks to the anxiety of waiting and finding a home within our relationships. With the line “You sit in silence in the room, crocheting patterns out of woven yarn”, Imaginary Future paints a picture, showing how crochet can help ease anxiety and tension.
“Davy Crochet” by Backseat Lovers
“I’ll teach you how to laugh if you can teach me crochet” is what Backseat Lovers calls out in this song. Haven’t we all tried using our crochet skills as a bargaining tool?
“Crochet Hearts” by Itty Bitty Beats
This incredibly sweet song is part of a lullaby album by Itty Bitty Beats titled “Lay Your Head Down”. The line that mentions crochet says “You help me realize our hearts are entwined like they’re crochet” which is such a perfect illustration of the love between a parent and child.
“Crochet” by A Will Away
This song uses the visuals and components of crochet to write about the way a breakup can feel so gut-wrenching and painful.
