Crochet is usually relegated to the domain of hats, scarves, and potscrubbers-frankly, a damn shame given its enormous sculptural potential.
The primary quality that recommends crochet as three dimensional medium is the fact that crochet stitches are not unlike pixels - discrete units that combine to facet the surface of a form. The size of those stitches, and the number of their neighbors in the rows above and below, determines the shape of the work. As such, your design can be quantified as a pattern and easily shared with others. Aside from certain intangibles – tension of the working yarn principal among them – a piece produced faithfully from a pattern will be identical to the original. If you like, you can think of a crochet pattern as a program for highly individual human fabbers.
In addition to this great reproducibility, the fact that only one stitch is worked at a time in crochet leads to fantastic opportunities for improvisation. You don't need to really plan ahead to make your form branch, or squeeze down to a point, or begin to crenelate. Experimentation will show you how to manifest these changes, but it might be helpful to look at how small, repeated changes (stitch height, number, loop worked in, etc) influence the finished product.
