Crochet hook

Crochet hooks

A crochet hook is a tool used to create loops in thread or yarn and to interlock them into crochet stitches. It consists of a round shaft with a hooked tip, with a lateral groove behind it. The point eases the insertion of the hook through the material being crocheted and the groove makes it possible to pull a loop back through the material. The shaft includes a working area that determines the hook's nominal diameter and helps maintain consistent loop size, and a handle designed for grip and control.
