You too can knit, Just try "continental knitting" , works just like crochet. youtube it.. As for knooking, it's basically Tunisian crochet, just get a long Tunisian hook.

Wow this is so ingenious!! I really hope you can show us how to do other stitches, especially cables.

So many new techniques, I love it!! Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be making one! ❤

I've had these types of hooks I have no idea how I got them and I didn't really care to look into them, I thought it's a needle+hook situation so not much interest from me. I got suggested this video and immediately pulled those hooks out and they are amazing! I thinks it's the easiest way to create cables I found so far, having so much fun playing around with them now. Tools went from ignored to 'this is magic'! Thank you for sharing this with the world! Fantastic tutorial!

Fascinating. It’s like a variation of Tunisian crochet, but more. Very interesting. I’m a knitter and have no interest in learning this but it’s still so fascinating how such different tools and techniques produce the same fabric.

This is what I am waiting to learn ❤❤

Ty for this! I have the knook kit and loop crochet kit. I definitely am going to pull the kit out because I’m running out of knit mode lol I’m bored this seems much faster than knitting 🧶 ❤❤thanks so much I’m going to knook a rib stitch scarf!

I wonder, is it possible to work along in normal crochet, then bring in a knook and knit a section, then return to crochet? I'm all about the seamless transitions.

I've heard that fisherman used to knit. I've also heard they would crochet to pass the time at sea. This is definitely not just for women.

Thanks for this! I crochet but have never been able to knit. Now I just need to get some of these needles. They are also used for Lumra work which is an old type of rug hooking here in Ireland.

I still have the nook needles . But never got into it. Now I knit

But….. where to buy a knooking hook 😳 I want to learn this !!!

So funny. I tried this about 10 years ago but I couldn’t get the hang of working around the yarn running through the stitches. I gave up and taught myself to knit!

Hi Thomas, thank you for this very clearly tutorial on knooking. I've seen more of these but yours is the best I've seen so far. I think I might give it a try again. Thanks a lot for your time and effort Greetings from The Netherlands

So cool!❤🙂👍🏻

2 questions?- Is there a way to make a taller stitch? How do you finish the top edge to match the bottom edge?

Thank you! Amaaazing!❣

TO MUCH TALKINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Stupid idea To many steps makes EXTRA work JUST KNIT !

Very interesting g nice

So beautiful ❤, thanks

Please, we need a lesson to explain how to make a decrease or increase in this technical way

Great tutorial. Tried this a few years ago but needed a refresher course to start again. A lot in one tutorial so I'm ready to go now. Thanks. I'm excited to begin a hat 😊

My mother got a new rose bush every year and eventually lined the fence rows of her house with flowers anyone could pick. Her birthday was coming, I was broke, and there were fist sized balls of yarn I did NOT want to granny. Then I found a pattern like this. I put the many colored roses on the darkest green I had access to and stitched a slightly smaller solid granny. She wrapped herself in roses every winter after that.

I bet you would love mosaic overlay crochet as well. I make double sided blankets with beautiful patterns with mosaic.

The carrie along wool is just like a needle .

You can also use Interchangeable Tunisian Hooks with cable wires of different lengths. You just screw onto that Tunisian hook the length of cable wire you need for that project. You can also screw on a disc or square at the other end to prevent your work from unravelling when you need to take a break. It works and no snagging of any yarn used as tail. Good luck!

Imteresting

Thomas thank you for this detailed explanation and tutorial, you have given me inspiration to try this, I have only used the waistcoat stitch for baskets in the past .❤I’m looking forward to future projects matching mittens or fingerless gloves would be great !

I would love to see this done in the round

Wow! That was incredible. I know how to crochet and Tunisian crochet. I would love to add this to my skills. What a cool concept.

I have a set of wooden crochet hooks that are cable capable, these should work for this shouldnt they?

The scissors are darn cute xD

You do beautiful work and I love the techniques you are teaching, beautiful and fantastic.

❤❤❤

How is this different than tunisian crochet? I bought one of these about 10 years ago, I knit and crochet.

I tried to learn to knit so many times without success. When Leisure Arts brought out the knook several years ago, I tried it. It still took a little bit, but after a few months, I gave needle knitting another try, and I was good to go!

I knit, I crochet, tsunami crochet, circular machines now a new fun way to enjoy my craft.

This to me is just like Tunisian crochet

This is fascinating. It is like an eccentric form of knitting. I think we'd describe the knit stitches as being worked "through the back loop". I've often wondered if knitting would be easier with one of the needles replaced by a crochet hook, especially in Continental knitting which certainly challenges my dexterity.

I tried knooking for a bit and it was ok, but after learning to knit I simply couldn't think of any reason why I would choose knooking over knitting. The availability of sizes in knooking equipment is very limited compared to any other craft and in the end it is just knitting with extra steps. There was a short hype of knooking some years ago but I think that was because of one specific book that only addressed making hats and also not very delicate ones.

My knocking needles are on the way 😊

I've never heard of this... I struggle with knitting but can crochet so can't wait to try it out ❤

Interesting! 1. I never knew those types of needles existed. 2. Never seen this type of knitting technique! Thank you for sharing. I learned something new. (you can teach an old dog new tricks, lol) =)

very interesting!!

This is so cool!!! Thank you for sharing :)

Hi, Thomas. This is so crazy! I don't know when I'll get to this - before next winter. I see so many possibilities ~ thank you!

I bought the nook kit years ago and couldn't figure it out, I learn better by watching someone instead of reading. Now at 71, I can't knit anymore, hurts my shoulders. God bless you for sharing how to do this!!! Just amazing, thank you so very much!!!!!

PS, you did a great job!

If you do a plain stitch at the beginning and end of each purl row the edge won't curl so much.

Can you do knooking in the round?
