| Short crochet hooks |
Another experiment is to see how long a crochet hook really
needs to be. I cut a couple of hooks
off just after the thumb rest, so my hooks are about 3 inches long.
I end up crocheting with my fingers rather than with my whole hand. The shorter hook is convenient for joining motifs in the last round: Slip the back end of the hook through the second motif and make a slip stitch through all loops – it makes a nice look that is different from slip stitching into that same stitch.

I will have a selection of short hooks at the show for anyone who wants
to try it out for herself.
