	Crochet hook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A crochet hook is a type of needle, usually with a hook at one end, used to draw thread through knotted loops.
		An alternative form is the Tunisian crochet hook, which is much longer than a regular crochet hook, in order to accommodate the multiple loops used in Tunisian crochet.
		Hooks come in various sizes (measured in millimetres or fractions of an inch), according to the thickness of the needle.

	Crochet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crochet hooks used for Tunisian crochet are elongated and have a stopper at the end of the handle, while double-ended crochet hooks have a hook on both ends of the handle.
		Crocheted fabric is begun by placing a slip-knot loop on the hook, pulling another loop through the first loop, and repeating this process to create a chain of a suitable length.
		Hooks ranged from primitive bent needles in a cork handle, used by poor Irish lace workers, to expensively crafted silver, brass, steel, ivory and bone hooks set into a variety of handles, some of which were better designed to show off a lady's hands than they were to work with thread.
