WHAT DOES CROCHET HOOK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Crochet hook

A crochet hook is a tool with a hook at one end used to draw thread or yarn through knotted loops. Just one crochet hook is used to make crochet stitches. The crochet hook's earliest use appears to have been in the late 18th century or early 19th century. Typical materials for crochet hooks are wood, plastic, casein, or aluminum. Historical examples also include bone, steel, porcupine quill, celluloid, agate, ivory, and fossilized mammoth ivory. Crochet hooks often have decorative handles. The handle may be shaped to fit the hand for easier use. Some hooks are made with wooden or plastic handles with the hook made of metal and inserted into the handle. There are many ergonomic approaches to hook handles. One approach, for sufferers of arthritis, hooks have a ball in place of a straight handle. An alternative form of crochet hook 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. A type of crochet hook with hooks at each end, known as a cro-hook, is used to make double-sided crochet pieces.
