Definition

Double-ended crochet, also called cro-hook or crochet on the double, uses a double-pointed long hook so loops can be worked off from either end with a different colour.

Overview

The fabric is genuinely double-sided: one colour dominates on each face, and patterns can be mirrored so the reverse is a colour negative of the front.

It creates a thick, warm and completely reversible fabric, which suits blankets, scarves and pot holders where both sides are seen.

Characteristics

  • Double-pointed long or cabled hook
  • Two colours, one per face
  • Thick, warm, fully reversible fabric

Typical uses

  • Reversible scarves
  • Blankets
  • Pot holders and mats
