1. Just Hook It

2. Crochet
Crochet is a process of creating fabric from yarn, thread or other material strands using a crochet hook.
The word is derived from the French word “Crochets” or “Croc” ,its meaning Hook.
Crochet differs from knitting in that only one stitch is active at one time (exceptions being Tunisian crochet & Broomstick Lace stitches )
In Crochet a single hook is used instead of two knitting needles.

3. Crochet Hooks
 Steel hooks are for the smallest sizes and are often used in fine thread crochet such as in doilies. Steel hooks are also known as "thread hooks“.
Aluminium hooks are available a large range of sizes. Aluminium hooks allow you to crochet smoothly and quickly.
Plastic hooks are available in all the common sizes. They are very large and are usually made of hollow plastic, because it is lightweight.
Bamboo hooks are lightweight and warm in the hand
Tunisian hooks are longer than regular hooks, and sometimes have a hook on both ends, its called a cro hook. Tunisian crochet is also called afghan crochet, and the fabric looks different from normal crochet, and a little like knitting.
