Holding the Hook & Yarn
| Holding the Hook | Right handers usually hold the hook in their right hand, either in |
 |
a. the Pencil Hold |
 |
b. the Knife hold |
 |
c. the Chopstick hold |
| The left hand holds the work and at the same time controls the yarn supply | |
 |
The left hand index finger manipulates the yarn, while the middle finger holds the work. |
 |
The yarn is put over the first three fingers and under the last. To maintain the slight tension needed it might help to wind the yarn around the little finger. |
