The word “crocket” refers to a decorative element in architecture, particularly in Gothic architecture. A crocket is typically a curved, leaf-like ornament used on the edges of a roof or on the angles of a structure, such as a spire or a column. It is often associated with the decorative details found on cathedrals and other significant buildings. In a different context, “crocket” can also refer to a type of small, hooked implement used in textile arts, such as knitting or crochet.
