Hooks

Did you know that there are dozens of different kinds of hooks? I’m going to take some time to show you a few. I’m sure I will just touch the surface of this subject, but at least it will be a start. Parts of a Crochet Hook First, you should know the parts of your hook to aid in discussion with other crochet fanatics. Obviously the head or hook is an essential part of the entire tool and a large part of what makes it different from knitting needles. There are two basic hook types. You’ll notice the difference in Bates and Boye hooks as to the size of the shaft.

Not all crochet hooks have a grip (also called the thumb rest). The handle is often the part of the hook where hook designers let their creativity flow. Materials Why choose one material over the other? Wood or bamboo are warmer to work with. Welcome! Free Crochet Patterns. Over 200 Free Crocheted Afghan Patterns.

Crochet Hobo Bag. I saw this bag and it totally drove me crazy!

Crochet Hobo Bag

For days! Can you imagine? As alluring as it could be, I had to restrain myself from placing another order to Knitpicks. They have some really wonderful wool yarns that are so soft and easy to crochet. I placed my first and only order of Wool of the Andes chunky and was very delighted at the quality as well as the price. It is not a very difficult pattern to figure out at all. So here it is, my inagural design that I finally managed to write down.Crochet Hobo Bag(inspired by the above Nordstrom bag) Pattern written by Dao Lam Materials: 2 skeins Wool of the Andes Chunky (www.knitpicks.com) Hooks size K-11 (6.5mm), J-10 (6mm), and H-8 (5mm) Tapestry needle to weave in ends Lining fabrics of choice One set of magnetic snaps One purse handle (usually sold in a set of 2 but only need 1)
