How to Use
Single Ended Crochet (Classic)
The Single Ended Crochet Hooks are the classic crochet hooks that are used for crocheting as we know them. The hook at the front of the tip is the tip we’re working with. There are different types and shapes of handles such as our handleless zing needles, or the aluminum or waves needles with a soft grip. Which needles you prefer depends on how you hold the crochet hook. Just try it out and find out which handles are best for you. The crochet hooks are held by the handle and the wool is processed with the point. These needles are suitable for all normal crochet projects.
Interchangeable Tunisian
This special type of crocheting, which is particularly popular in Nordic countries such as Denmark, is crocheted with a crochet hook that can be extended at the back with a cable. Tunisian crocheting is a mixture of crocheting and knitting and enables countless possibilities and also the stitch patterns look very much like knitted. Maybe this is an alternative for everyone who knows how to crochet but doesn’t dare to knit.
At knitpro we offer you a variety of different Interchangeable Tunisian Crochet Hooks. Take a look at our range of crochet hooks at knitpro.
