How to Hold Your Hook & Yarn:

You can hold your hook with your dominant hand in either the pencil grip or the knife grip.

✏️ Pencil Grip

  • Hold the hook like a pencil

  • Great for precision and control

  • Common for beginners

🔪 Knife Grip

  • Hold the hook like a knife

  • Feels more natural for some people

  • Good for longer crochet sessions

There is no “right” way—use what feels comfortable.
