Alright, I have own a couple of double end crochet hooks for over 40 years now,. Never learned how to work with them so just added them to my collection. Now after watching your video I feel I can finally pull them out and finally put them to some good use.
Wow, crochet never ceases to amaze me....there is just so much variation that there is always more to learn. Thank you so much for your awesome videos. I had seen double-ended hooks but never really knew what type of circumstance it would be used for or what it would create! Thank you!
Great video. 😊 One recommendation if someone is going to purchase double ended crochet hooks make sure you look at both ends to ensure they are the same size. There are crochet hooks labled as double ended crochet hooks but the ends are two different sizes 5mm/5.5mm) and are usually the same length, sometimes a little longer than a regular crochet hook. I've made a couple scarfs using two contrasting colors and they've turned out really nice. Thank you Ellen for sharing your love of crochet and yarn with us.
Ellen thank you so much !!!! I was becoming crazy with another tuto on UA-cam and yours is so simple, so clear, so understandable ! I am very grateful to you. Hello from Paris ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@EllenGormleyCrochet Bravo for your video on Paris ! I laughed a lot and liked your comments. Yes colored pants are popular since 3 years, even on elderly thin men. Red or yellow mostly. Yes we put a skirt on as soon as there is a drop of sunshine. Yes, no crochet in the streets. Montmartre, macarons, Sainte Chapelle and Giverny you did not loose your time ! Gingham seems to be "petits carreaux" (?) we like them since Brigitte Bardot which is long ago..... I am very happy and proud that your beautiful family had a pleasant stay in Paris. Thank you !
Thank you for taking the time to go slow, showing the details and explaining the basics. I found a double-ended, about a size 4 hook on the ends, so now I can do something different! ♥️
HI Ellen, thanks for the tutorial. I was thinking of making a asymmetrical wrap with 2 different weight gradient yarns. This technique looks like a winner.
I always wondered why they had 2 hooks. I may even have one. I'll have to check because I would like to try it. Thank you, you are such a great instructor! :-)
Thank you for this tutorial, the last one I checked out was too fast for me to understand. You make this very understandable to do. Been wanting to learn this stitch for awhile and neighbor gave me 2 hooks(do not know the sizes), so I am going to do a scarf with 2 colors.
I enjoyed this very much! You’re right, it is very similar to Tunisian Crochet which I love! I’ll have to make a swatch and give this a try! Thanks for sharing! Happy Memorial Day weekend!
I have the small size double hook that you can work in the round too ;but Please, can you recomend the long double hook brand or type you use ...I like aluminiun because I feel it slides faster than bamboo but can you do a video about the subject of different Tunisian Hooks ..😊❤ Ty!!
Hi, thank you for sharing this video!!! I got a pattern with this double ended hook. I can make the knit stitches and the purl stitches. The pattern calls for a purl increase and decreases on the return row. Im have difficulty with the purl increase. Is there any way you could help? The pattern that im working on is Ripple Jacket by Diane Simpson. Sold by Annie's
Very interesting. I always looked at those hooks and wondered what they were for and then forgot to investigate them by the time I got home. Blonde, brain cloud or senior moment? You decide. lol. 😳 Seems like it would make a very warm scarf or scarf with the hat attached (scoodie?). Thank you for the demonstration. ❤️💜 🌼
Could you please tell me the brand and colorway of that beautiful Speckled yarn?😍 Is this Hawthorn speckled hand painted from the link you’ve included in the description?
My mom gave me all her crochet hooks and there were 2 of these in J and K. Wondered how to use them. Thank you for a wonderful explanation. I have a question though do you have to use 2 colors? Can you use 2 balls of same.
Of course! Use two balls of the same color or work from both the inside of the ball and outside at the same time, though you'll have to watch tangling.
:) LOL, there is a reason there aren't a ton of patterns for this technique. ;) Darla Fanton is the designer who seems to do the best job and enjoy this technique the most. Check her out on Ravelry.
I really love the double ended crochet, out goes so quickly but it uses a lot of yarn, the thing is you cab do the most amazing things with it and it is so super easy. I've only ever seen 1 stitch with it though. I'm not sure it has a huge variety of stitches but I can tell you it is fun! Are you saying i can use Tunisian stitches for this?? I have the hooks with the cable, which are super hard to find for afghans and I Just love them. Also many like one you have there. So glad you demonstrated it! Are there any stitches to lighten it up a bit? It is rather bulky!
It’s nice to see more Tunisian crochet on UA-cam. This way of Tunisian crochet makes brilliant hats and jumpers!

Tunisian crochet is so much fun - but to use a double ended hook ... and not have curling! Very Cool. As always - thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Finally, I understand what to do with the double-ended hook. Thanks for an excellent tutorial.
Yay! Have fun!

Thanks, Amy!
I like how you show how to do the double end crocheting.
Thank you. I inherited a double ended hook and wondered how to use it.
I have never tried this technique. Thanks for the good video.
Thanks for watching!
I'm picking stitches from the back and love it
I really like this technique!!! Awesome way to change colors without having to stop, tie on new color etc... thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you!
You explained so much better
Ellen you are the best
Aw, thank you, Paulina!
Thanks for the tutorial! My mom told me to take my grandma's old double ended crochet hook, and I had NO clue what is was for... I'm gonna try this!
Yay! Doing more for the double ended hook is on my massive to-do list!

Good point!
good video. I'm just starting to do tunisian crochet and am getting excited about all I can do with this technique.
Ellen thank you so much !!!! I was becoming crazy with another tuto on UA-cam and yours is so simple, so clear, so understandable ! I am very grateful to you. Hello from Paris ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you! (I’ve been to Paris! What a great city!)
Did you see my video on fashion trends I saw while in Paris? ua-cam.com/video/yfPrI_rvOwo/v-deo.html

I love seeing all the different stitches. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
That's awesome. I need to buy that hook and try to make a scarf out of it. It's really nice.
Thank you!

I've seen double ended hooks before but never knew how to use them. Thanks for the demo!! It sure does make a very interesting stitch.
You can do any stitch on it, but this is the process. Now you can experiment!
Thanks for the video, I have never seen the double crochet hook used. I will be looking for patterns to try this technique.
Thanks!
thank you,i’m going to try and make potholders
Great idea!
I have cool hat ideas running thru my head! Lol! Thank you.
Excellent!
I liked seeing you do this. I know I would never try it.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome 👍🏾, I have the one long hook.
Ok, if it only has a hook on one end, it is a Tunisian or ‘afghan’ hook. I have many Tunisian crochet videos.
Good video - explanation is easy to understand. Love the colors you used. What is the name of the color of the multi-colored yarn?
This would look so good for mittens.
Good idea!
I like this I will try this , it’s different
I hope you love it!
Thank you for sharing your video. 👍🌹

Beautiful ❤️!
Thank you for the video! I love that it is presentable on both sides! Its almost like an illusion! Squishy fabric too! :)
Thank you!
I always wondered what u did with this hook thank u
Thanks for watching!
Was hard to tell where you inserted your hook to pick up red heartbgas it going under the front verticals
I've never seen a double crochet hook before. I will have to look.
You are the first commenter! Thanks!
Seriously LOVE this! Could you pretty much use any Tunisian Stitch?
Yes! But it will look different because of the turning.

How do you do it in the round?
Very interesting. I always looked at those hooks and wondered what they were for and then forgot to investigate them by the time I got home. Blonde, brain cloud or senior moment?

Превосходно!
Воспользуюсь!
Благодарю!

Of course! Use two balls of the same color or work from both the inside of the ball and outside at the same time, though you'll have to watch tangling.
I've watched several tutorials on this subject and everyone uses the TSS. Can I do this with other stitches?
Sure! Go for it!
How would you make a blanket or a larger project using double ended hooks?
Hi! Either in narrow strips or use a flexible cable like in the Denise Interchangeable hook set.
I just bought double ended crochet hooks off temu. Unfortunately, there is a thick silicone grip in the centre. So I can't slide work across. 😢
Darn!
I like this. Maybe a pattern in your new book.
:) Thank you!
My cro hook has a different size on one and and a different size on the other and it is size 5(jp) hook and size 3(jp) hook on the other
Could you tell us what stitches would look GOOD

Yes, you can use all Tunisian stitches with it but they will look different because of the turning. Yes, you can make it lacy too.
I use my cro hook for regular crochet
*cuz I can*
Could you do the cross stitch this way ?
You could, but it's going to look different because of the turning.
Is there patterns in your book with this hook?
No, there are no double ended hook patterns in the book.
Cool!!
Thanks!
hook no please ?
I watched it twice but when you switched stitches, it looked like you were doing the same thing.
With this method, I see hot pads in my future. 😉
Excellent!
