Wow! How do I say it? Wow! I can see using that technique for a host of projects. Cotton for kitchen, acrylic for sweaters and so much more. I do see this taking off worldwide eventually. More than anything it shows that creativity is not dead. Just think outside the box. Thank you.
I learned this in the '80s, and used to teach it as a bridge between crochet and knit. The old Portuguese knitting used hooked needles, and I had found an old reference to Peruvian knitting long ago, possibly taken there by Portuguese sailors--who knows?. Great technique, and I am glad to see someone playing with it. It can br used for any knitting, without going back to front around the needles, by just making sure your left hook is pointed down. Work it just like knit or purl. And remember the old trick of wrapping rubber bands around the ends, to make end caps, so you can hold more stitches. There are cirular double ended crochet hooks, which are very nice, too.
Ive been crocheting most of my life, but have some sort of mental block with knitting, just have never been able to get it! And, as expected, i love knit fabric and am mostly lukewarm about most crochet. So i decided to look again if there was a way to knit with crochet hooks, and voila, i found this. Thank you! You make it look so logical its almost intuitive. Going to try this with my tunisian hooks soon! (Although my tunisians have cables, so that may present its own difficulties haha)
I'm glad this exists. I got a pair of knitting needles from dollar tree to try it out. For my first time knitting, it's a bit harder to handle than crochet. I figured its because you are using 2 needles instead of hooks. Will definitely keep this in mind when I get my longer hooks
Let me know how it works out, I think the metal hooks ( the weight) made this a bit fiddly, I’m going to get a set of plastic and a set of wooden Tunisian hooks , I think it will be more comfortable and efficient 😊
This is fascinating. It isn't just knitting with hooks, it is a different conception as well. There is _never_ a worry about the stitches getting lost. If your arm was jostled , or if the project dropped, you wouldn't lose your place. It is like a new "Safety Knit."
Absolutely brilliant, thanks so much! Off to the shops to get duplicate Tunisian hooks now... don't tell my husband... he thinks I spend too much on yarn stuff, silly man.
I really enjoyed trying this stitch. Like you, no tunisian, but plenty of regular hooks. I can't choose between the two as to which is my favorite. Unless i choose by which is easier. The second wins hands down for sure! Thank you for showing this to us! I bet we will see numerous projects coming up with this croknit stitch. Actually, since croknit is another name for crohook, it probably will need to be called by another name, but kitchet seems strange somehow. Maybe Hook knitting? Whatever it is called i am sure it will catch on!
Wow. Don't know how I didn't get notified but I am so glad I found the video even without youtube's help. I don't know how your mind works to even come up with this idea. It is great. I see where you told Rosemary that you were watching a knitting video on casting on with crochet hooks. I have watched those too recently (trying to get back to knitting a little) but I sure never got this idea. My hands are too uncoordinated to try this morning but I will be trying this and of course I have tunisian hooks and am ready to go. What feels awkward for me is that the finished fabric is on the right hand but I don't think I will have any problems with this at all. I can't believe this hasn't been out before. Great idea and thanks for sharing it.
@@ItsNotKnit Hey, I did it. I knitcheted. However, I tried it with one straight tunesian hook and one flexible hook and I can't use the flexible hook at all for tunesian. I hold my long hook all the way at the back and twirl the hook. So tomorrow, I will get another straight hook from the craft room and see about a scarf. I am getting confused about having the finished fabric in my right hand but we'll see if more practice overcomes that. Also my stitches are much looser than yours but I crochet and knit with a loose tension nowadays. I would love to see this take off also but so many youtubers are having trouble learning and handling just the tunesian crochet. Thanks for sharing.
Look at you! That is awesome! It looks very fiddly! I can see where Tunisian hooks would make it easier, and the extension wires would allow you to make larger items. Did you follow a knit pattern to learn the stitches? Congrats Corrina!
I was watching a video about casting on with a crochet hook for knitting, then I saw a very old video of a woman using 2 hooks to cast on, I took that concept and ran with it and started playing around and came up with this lol
Oh yay, I love doing crochet anything, but when it comes to knitting needles, I hate hate hate the grabbing the yarn part with needles. It feels so fiddly when you’re used to pulling with the hook. I so just wanted confirmation it would work out lolll thank you!
This is fascinating. As a scrumbler who has added tunisian crochet to the mix, this is perfect. Must figure out how to do round shapes, if possible. Subscribed and look forward to your croknit explorations (thumbs down on knitchet... like @gaylehenderson603 mentions, there's a tunisian-ness to it so maybe tunisian knitting? 8-)
Hi, im sorry I missed your question , I would imagine you can sew 2 ends together just the same as with traditional crochet , I have a lot going on behind the scenes and a lot scheduled , so Im really sorry I don;t have any time to film a video for that
@@ItsNotKnit thank you for responding. I really appreciate it. I did seam them together and that worked out ok. If you get around to it, I'd love to see things made with this technique. Thank you so much! Enjoy your day.
I wanted to let you know that I have made a hand towel with this stitch and finished it my way. I'm also entering it into my county fair. I will be posting pictures on my community tab in a couple days. I am also making a blanket. I would love to show others on my channel how to make these items and grow this stitch work with reference back to this video and your channel. I don't have a big channel but some have asked for a tutorial already and I've sent them here. I love your work and respect you so much. I only aim to make you proud. 😊
Now this is what im talking about. I womder how many more can be dome this way. I cant knit qith the knitting needles at all. Tried and tried and tried...
Thanks this really help this is just like knitting but with crochet hooks I wonder if you can make a sweater with this can you make a tutorial for this but with making sleeves?
Just a quick tip, you can create your own knitting crochet needles by carving their one tip hook shaped and sandpaper their necks and stips from cheap plain bamboo sticks to create 10 or more if needed to knit with the comfort of pulling the yarn
I use three hooks for circular knitting. I cast on using crochet and then loop through the stitch creating a cast on and then raglan l to r or continental r to l. Your cast on gives you double loops per stitch?
I really want to try this! I actually know how to knit but i was wondering how to make knitting work with crochet hooks. Is the swatch stretchy like knits are? 😮
I have often wondered if, you could and if it would easier to, knit with hooks. Thank you for your time in figuring it out in some form. I am fascinated. Does that mean you invented that concept I wonder? Great job anyway!
Re-watching this, and watching other knitting styles today, I noticed how much more relaxed your hands, fingers, and yarn tension are while working with each stitch. With so many styles, that stitch between the points is quite tight. . That tension is completely absent in your method with the hooks. This method could prevent issues from developing, and help knitters with painful hands, or those who lack dexterity, to be able to knit.
This technique on Tunisian hook with wire attached is a good way to rest the They hand and thumb joint when doing too much knit or crochet the traditional way.
Another thing... I always liked the look of knitted stitches, but with three children I never had the chance of finishing s piece. somehow the stitches would always fall off the needles.... can't with a hook on the end!!!
The return pass looks like Tunisian crochet. Why not just do Tunisian purl stitch and knit stitch? I'm surprised your stitches haven't fallen off the back of your hook.
I am just experimenting, sure anyone can just do Tunisian crochet, but if that's all we ever did ( what already exists) , then nothing new happens, Im just having some fun, it's not that serious
I played around with a similar idea a while back only I used the long tail cast-on from knitting to start and went from there as if I was knitting normally, this is really cool I can't wait to try this way out great thinking 🩵Also if you put hairbands at the ends of the two hooks you wont have to worry about your stitches falling off the back end and I feel you with the annoying hair I get them in my yarn all the time.
lol I wanted to knit but don’t have any needles so I just used crochet hooks and did this. Then I wanted to see who else has done this and found this video
First row was difficult. Next better. And 3d my head started to work on both crochetting and knitting AND afghan. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. So 4;th round will go like im running😂😂😂😂
Wow! How do I say it? Wow! I can see using that technique for a host of projects. Cotton for kitchen, acrylic for sweaters and so much more. I do see this taking off worldwide eventually. More than anything it shows that creativity is not dead. Just think outside the box. Thank you.
Thanks! You’re a genius. I am a Tunisian crocheter and I am always trying new stitches. This is fantastic!

FINALLY a new crochet technique I DIDNT GET on the first try love being challenged 😈🙃❤️
I just love this way of knitting ❤
I'm glad this exists. I got a pair of knitting needles from dollar tree to try it out. For my first time knitting, it's a bit harder to handle than crochet. I figured its because you are using 2 needles instead of hooks. Will definitely keep this in mind when I get my longer hooks
Love this! I've been trying to learn to knit forever, now I can! THANK YOU!
Oooo, Ooooo! I couldn't wait to comment on this video.
I got multiple crochet hooks already. I think **I** can do this!
Let me know how it works out, I think the metal hooks ( the weight) made this a bit fiddly, I’m going to get a set of plastic and a set of wooden Tunisian hooks , I think it will be more comfortable and efficient 😊
I am stoked to give this a go!
I appreciate your video, I was researching the best way to knit. I'm still in the learning process.
This is actually Japanese knitting! This is awesome 👌 though! ❤
This is fascinating. It isn't just knitting with hooks, it is a different conception as well. There is _never_ a worry about the stitches getting lost. If your arm was jostled , or if the project dropped, you wouldn't lose your place. It is like a new "Safety Knit."
Plastic and wooden Tunisian hooks will work most comfortably with this technique, I hope you all try it ❤❤
Would I use 2 Tunisian hooks?
Absolutely brilliant, thanks so much! Off to the shops to get duplicate Tunisian hooks now... don't tell my husband... he thinks I spend too much on yarn stuff, silly man.
this looks like so much fun! I think I'm shedding too lol!
I hope you keep up with this. I'm interested!!!

You’re very welcome ☺️, I just kept playing with it and it started to work out lol . I’m having a much easier time using Tunisian hooks

The short metal hooks are fiddly for sure, plastic and wood would be vastly better and Tunisian, but like I said I was too eager to get this out haha
@@ItsNotKnit Very impressive!

For me, this looks very similar to knooking. Nice video, thanks!
Wow I crochet and this just changes everything, I have to try this myself now thank you for show us ❤
This is amazing.
Wow, so cool! I recently bought Tunisian hooks BUT I've yet to try them 😁😂
Oh cool, I’m having fun playing with this lol , I’m looking at some plastic and some wooden Tunisian hooks on Amazon lol ☺️🙃
This is clever how you invented it!
Is this the same as knooking?

I've heard it called Japanese knitting. You can use tunisian/afghan hooks for larger projects.
It almost looks like tunisian crochet. Cool
Cool !!!!!!! ♥
😁😁
I've got the first segment down. I have to try out the 2nd part yet. I was wanting to know if you can show how to crochet two ends together.

Hey great video! Can you make more videos where you do projects using the knitchet technique?
I really want to try this! I actually know how to knit but i was wondering how to make knitting work with crochet hooks. Is the swatch stretchy like knits are? 😮
Does this come out stretchy, like knitted material? Or more like crochet (much less stretchy)?
stretchy :)
I have often wondered if, you could and if it would easier to, knit with hooks. Thank you for your time in figuring it out in some form. I am fascinated. Does that mean you invented that concept I wonder? Great job anyway!
You are so welcome!
FYI - Cro-Knit is already a technique that has been around for a long time, it is done with double ended tunisian like hooks
Good luck. I had a knotted mess 😮

Oh my the second step is so hard can you please do it again I am confused
Excuse my language please:
You are a fkn genius!!!!!!!!!
This technique on Tunisian hook with wire attached is a good way to rest the They hand and thumb joint when doing too much knit or crochet the traditional way.
I do have a question...
Does this process use more yarn than crochet or knit?
Usually knitting is less yarn than crochet. 🤔
about the same as if you were making a waffle stitch in crochet
@@ItsNotKnit ok thank you 😊
Another thing... I always liked the look of knitted stitches, but with three children I never had the chance of finishing s piece. somehow the stitches would always fall off the needles.... can't with a hook on the end!!!
This is my first time

I am just experimenting, sure anyone can just do Tunisian crochet, but if that's all we ever did ( what already exists) , then nothing new happens, Im just having some fun, it's not that serious
@@ItsNotKnit no that's cool it just looks difficult to me but interesting do you teach this technique?

The first row is very much like needle tatting.
lol I wanted to knit but don’t have any needles so I just used crochet hooks and did this. Then I wanted to see who else has done this and found this video
First row was difficult. Next better. And 3d my head started to work on both crochetting and knitting AND afghan. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. So 4;th round will go like im running😂😂😂😂
Is this knitting
Easier than knooking
You can knit with crochet sticks but not crochet with knit sticks.
You can juse tunisian hook. Jus remember to get the needle up for turning😂😂😂
I’d give up in 2 seconds
U talk way to much just get to the point
im just being me, im not for everyone... youtube allows you to fast forward, but im not changing me
