Originally crocheted lace was not regarded as true lace. Crocheting was considered easy and less time consuming, but otherwise clearly inferior surrogate for "true" Lace such as bobbin lace, needle lace or netting. The first examples of crocheted lace try to reproduce the products of other lacemaking techniques as faithfully as possible. Later, the many possibilities and inherent beauty of crocheted lace were appreciated more.

Today, in the age of machine-made lace, such discussions seem quite pointless to many lace-makers.

There are several styles of crocheted lace:

  • Filet crochet
  • Irish crochet and its modern derivatives
  • more freestyle crocheted lace, such as pieces striving to imitate reticella lace
  • round filet crochet, quite different in technique than filet crochet
