Knooking

Knooking is a combination of knitting and crochet, using a specialized tool called a knook. A knook is a single-ended crochet hook with a hole at the non-hook end, similar to a knitting needle. The knook allows you to create fabric that looks like knitting, but with the versatility and ease of use of crochet.

To knook, you begin by making a slipknot on the knook and then working a series of chain stitches. Once you have a row of chain stitches, you can begin to work the knook through each chain stitch, creating loops on the knook that resemble knitting stitches. You then use the knook to work the yarn through the loops on the knook, creating the next row of stitches.

Knooking can be used to create a variety of items, from scarves and blankets to hats and bags. It is a great technique for those who enjoy the look of knitting but find it difficult to master the two-needle technique.
