Hi Annette;
I have a Cro hook, it has the 2 hooks at the ends, and end caps like the
knitting needle point protecters. I bought it at Horizons for the blind last
year when Beckie had her Tunesian crochet class.
I do believe that Horizons for the blind still sells them.

Hi Henry,

Yes, when the needle has a crochet hook on one end and a cap like that on a
knitting needle on the other end, it is a Tunesian crochet hook, or an
afghan hook.  However, this is not what you need for the Cro Hooking class.
For the class you will need a needle that has a crochet hook at both ends of
the needle.

Just as crochet hooks come in different sizes, so do Tunesian crochet hooks,
afghan hooks and cro hooks.  While traditional crochet hooks do not vary
much in length, cro hooks are available in a variety of lengths.  I do not
know about the lengths of Tunesian crochet hooks and afghan hooks.

HTH,
Annette

Good Morning Annette;
Last week I bought a hook that is like a knitting needle, in that it has a
crochet hook at one end and an end cap on the other end like a knitting
needle.
would you consider this to be what is called a Tunisian crochet hook, or an
afghan hook?
Thanks for your help.
Henry

Here is some more information on Double Ended/pointed Crochet Hooks, A.K.A.
Cro Hooks.

Aluminum Double Point Crochet Hook - 14"

Different sizes I, K, or N. Manufacturer: Boye  Sold at Amazon.com

   Double-Ended Crochet Hooks - 10"

Sizes G, H, K  Sold at Annie's

   Susan Bates Silvalume Circular Double Ended Crochet Hook

40" circular hooks have a flexible cable with a hook on each end. Varies
Sizes.   Sold at Amazon.com

   Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet-Knit Double End Hooks - 14"

A crochet hook on both ends of a 14 Inch shaft, Various sizes.  Sold at
Amazon.com

I am going to look for the Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet-Knit Double End
Hooks.  I think that working with a cable style Cro Hook will be much easier
than a Cro Hook with a long stiff shaft.  The longer the shaft or cable, the
bigger the project you can make.  But the longer stiff shaft can be very
heavy to hold when all of your stitches are loaded on the needle.

A Cro Hook is also called a double ended crochet hook or double pointed
crochet hook.  At either end there is a crochet hook of the same size.  Cro
hooks can vary in length.  You do not want to start out with too long of
one.  Around 8 -10 inches is a good starting length.  I like using a size I,
J or K.  Boye and Clover make them.  I've bought them from Joanne's and from
AC Moore.

If you own a interchangeable crochet hook set, you would need 2 crochet hook
tips of the same size and a cable.

HTH,

Annette

A question came up in tonight's chat concerning the cro hook. I did a search
on the following sites with no luck: A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, Joann,
Michael's, Webb's, Consumer Crafts & Amazon.

What exactly am I looking for?

Thanks!

Courtney
