Cro-Hooks


Here is a layout with the cro-hook on it.

It says:
My grandmother taught me how to cro-hook when I was a teenage girl. We made several afghans and I have since used the technique to make prayer shawls. See the instructions I posted here as a pdf file.
My grandfather took a wooden dowel (3/8”) and made us hooks. Mine is 18” long. I have a second one that is about 22” long. The hook made by him is on the top (below). The two steel hooks inside the package are sizes I and K and are still smaller than the one he made. I think his would be about a size P. The larger hooks
makes a softer shawl.Kit used for layout is Dragonfly Garden by Maddy Fernandez.

Cro-hook instructions

Here are instructions I created for you to learn how to Cro-Hook, the file is in pdf format. They are for a Prayer Shawl but can be converted, by changing the number of chains and the length, to anything from a washcloth to a scarf to a full size afghan. Please download the pdf file to use for your instructions, it will be much clearer than the image below, and it won't have the words across it!



Here is a photo of one of the hooks my grandfather made for us when I was a teenager. The ones below are in a package you can purchase. Get the largest size you can to make a looser material.
