So many want to knook a pair of socks, but it has been hard finding a small enough hook to do that. If your handy then here's a way to make your very own sock knooking hook.
Supplies:
Pony Bead Lacing 2-3 Feet
Hand File
2.75 mm Boye Aluminum Hook (or hook of choice)
File around the end of the hook creating a post so it can accept pony bead tubing.
Slip tubing on to hook.And happily knook a pair of socks. For more sercurity you can glue tubing onto hook to make sure it doesn't slip away.
Hi Ronda...love this, will it work on larger hooks as well?
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't reponded earlier. Yes it should work you may need a bigger tubing.

Do you mean 'accept'?
do you have a chart for making a knook sock or do you go by a knitting pattern to do it?
ReplyDelete@Marny sorry yes "accept"

Do you have a sock pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI run into the same problem, although I have to go look for the pony bead tubing. Meanwhile I use a Denise tunisian hook (3.75 is the smallest one available) and the smallest cord available for the knitting kit. This works for me. I have created a crochet/knit knooking project (for size 5 so you can use a regluar knook) for a basket which I am going to felt tomorrow. I will post it this week on my blog, crochetalong.blogspot.com, happy knooking (I like it!)
What is a "hand file" and where do I get one?
