Double-ended hooks

[mva5493]

I thought maybe the difference was that two different companies sell the different hooks. I used my double hook to do a crochenit pattern. Also the crochenit hook uses red and green "stoppers" on the end of the hook you are not using at the time. so that you can remember which end you were on when you stop working I think. I didn't buy the "crochenit" hook, I just picked up several double ended hooks. I think also that the term "crochenit" is copy righted so others had to call their product something else.

Any double-ended afghan hook is used for Tunisian (and I personally call it cro-hook when I use a double-ended afghan hook). I'm actually teaching online classes for both Tunisian with the regular afghan hook and with the double-ended hook. You can see my current schedule by visiting my blog and looking in the links section on the left. You'll see "Crochet Classes!"

The technique is called cro-hook or cro-knit. Within the last 7 years, there was a resurgerence of the technique and Annie's Attic called it "Crochet on the Double" because of the double-end. Crochenit is a copyrighted term by Mary Middleton. Her hooks and patterns are made for only one size of cro-hook, that being size M although you can use any of her patterns with any cro-hook depending on the look you want. It's all the same. It just goes by different names due to trademarking.

These are not the same as the special double-ended hooks made in which you get two hooks of different sizes. I have several of these made by Clover. Very handy to have two different sizes on one hook. But, these are different. These are the longish afghan hooks, only with a hook on each end rather than a "button."

I've been using the crochenit patterns to make dishcloths with Lilys "Sugar-n-Cream" cottons. They make up easy and fast and are a great thickness. I can make 1 dishcloth in about 30 min.
