Also, the only reason she did a jump-cut when she showed the cut fabric is because she had to remove those little pieces of yarn from each stitch - you can indeed cut this work horizontally (between rows) :~)
Yes, thank you for explaining it. My eyesight isn't great to begin with, and yes, we had only 15 secs when these #short videos first came out, so exactly what you said.
I’m 32, my mother inlaw taught me how to knit and I saw one of these with her needles. Sadly she passed away from cancer in may and I think I might have asked her what this was for. Now having watched this video, I’m crying happy tears.
It looks like each vertical chain is bound only to the vertical chains on either side. As opposed to threads running throughout the entire piece of work. So when the person cuts it in half, they are basically just removing one vertical chain from the middle. As the scissors are cutting, you can see loose threads, but it’s clean in the final shot. The loose threads were the remnants of the deleted chain. They pulled out those remnants before the final shot. I don’t know crochet terms, I’m just describing what I see. Sorry if I said everything incorrectly lol
@Jessica S if you actually don’t crochet (maybe you do and just don’t know the terms, who knows) then your observation is extra impressive because even as someone who crochets this twisted my brain quite a bit
1) Place the red stopper at the size of the loops you're making. (I'm not sure of the exact ratio, but it's there to keep the size consistent.) 2) Thread yarn through the stick. 3) Poke yarn-stick through loop. 4) Pinch yarn. 5) Pull stick. --> _4 + 5 = New loop in next row_ 6) Poke yarn-stick through next loop *_and_* the new one you're still pinching. 7) Let go. 8) Repeat 3-6 until you're done.
@@Rin-oo9pf I think maybe an automatic awl would be slightly more similar, since you have thread on both sides? Though in a sewing machine the bobbin is separate, rather than the pre-fed end of the spool 🤔 I guess it's just a difference of which bit of string you're using as the bobbin, and now I understand it enough to be able to stitch both ways with either tool. Awesome!
I had to go looking...it looks a bit like some of the tools I see for rug making. I really want one to play with! Being able to cut to size is a bonus. The internet is amazing and a bottomless pit of information.
@@lorrainearmour9614 I have just bought one on Ebay.. it is vintage as I really don't think they make them anymore.. there were a few on there so I'm sure you'd be able to find one.. can't wait to try and use it.. all my yrs of knitting and crocheting I had never seen one of these before...good luck getting one..🇬🇧💞🐷✝️👍🧶 Forgot to say I got a pattern book with it too ..

Why are the two swatches you’re holding after the jump cut different? They should each have the opposite color as remnants on/in the weave and they don’t.
They’re completely different blocks! When she cuts them apart at first, each swatch had remnants of the other’s color attached, meaning they are knitted together. If she had used a strand that could be cut without unraveling, one side would not have the other side’s color bits attached to it bc they would not be interwoven. But you can clearly see that there are pieces of each block leftover on the other after the cut- meaning they are knitted together w no intermediary. Example: if she used blue yarn, you would only see blue bits on the purple side. If she used purple yarn you would only see purple bits on the blue side. If she used an entirely different color you would see that color on both sides, yes, but it would only run up that vertical seam of stitches. But she didn’t- those blocks were knitted together in horizontal rows. The blocks after the jump cut are an entirely different project.
@@emilybusby6922 um… she could’ve cut it, and then pulled out the little remnant pieces ? Obviously even with the tool she’d have to cut thru a row and lose length. Idk what yall even mean by this
@spilledoatmilk yeah you can see that all that is left after cutting is stringy bits. It doesn't unravel afterwards. People seem to think that not unraveling means a perfectly clean cut like sorcery. Clearly, some yarn will be cut in the process of, well, cutting yarn lol
Saw this before! My Mom used it when I was younger since she’d taken knitting as a hobby. She knitted our (siblings and me) baby blankets with our full name. They’re super cute ☺️
It's actually a crochet slip stitch, worked in a slightly different way. Slip stitches look like knit fabric, but won't unravel or cause dropped stitches.
I'm pretty sure it was just a cut for time. I looked it up, articles elsewhere mention that it can be cut without ravelling, too. I haven't tested it yet -- gotta make my needle first!
Well, I'm pretty sure she has fingers that can grab the leftover yarn and pluck it out. There's a clear jump cut. She obviously removed the little pieces. 🙄
@@sullendragon8900 I don't understand why you would need to make a separate needle for this. The yarn takes the same route as it would with backloop slip stiches. Maybe this needle is a bit faster and an easy way for people who don't know how to crochet. But a crochet hook just seems way more versatile
You can also cut crochet projects. You just need a life line ( a thread) for the casting of the first row of the latest half you crocheted. I try to think ahead and place the life line as im crocheting the row, its basically weaving it in but you can also do it after with a needle.And you cut. You can then slp stch all of the loops held on by the thread and tadaa.
You can cut knitting, too, but you need to securely stitch each side where you plan to cut - it’s called steeking. I’m not sure if you can do horizontal steeking but it’s mostly done vertically.
I will have to look through all my hooks I have . My mom got my grandma's hooks when she passed and then I got all my mom's hooks God rest their souls. Each generation has added to them when I am gone I have one child who is interested so she will get everything hooks, books and any left over yarn just as I did
I got my grandma's when she passed too it's really cool to look through some of the old books and stuff she had and it's always nice to have extra hooks and needles
LOL. I am part Native Alaskan Indigenous. We have fishing net repair "needles", like this, for eons of time, LOL. Who would have known, I guess it is all about marketing. I have my Grandmother's wood one.
I am so sorry to hear about the horrible things you have been going through. I experienced a sudden loss recently and it definitely was like a sucker punch. I am sending all my love and prayers to you. Please take as much time as you need to yourself. You are so strong and you will get through this❤️❤️
Ok here's the thing. That's a flo slip stitch when you look how the yarn is going (same idea as finger looping/finger crochet). So yes you can cut but you'll need to leave ends to weave in (don't cut all the way from end to end, unravel the rest). Otherwise, yes this will eventually unravel as it moves around. In wonder if it's the same with blo and if you can cut thumb holes in sleeve ribbing 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you, you explained what I was trying to say/ask in a previous comment. You can CLEARLY see that she had to edit the video and remove some of the yarn from each piece that she cut. It wasn’t explained very well as to how it actually works. I felt it was very misleading. Thank you!😊
I was lucky enough to have it passed down by my late Grandma with many other yarn and crochet hooks, but this weird old plastic looking thing I knew was way different than anything else. Now if only I can figure it out....
The separated pieces are different pieces than the uncut one. The edges look different. This is a dishonest trick. What about the loose thread at the end of the row, if she can magically cut it apart? It makes absolutely no sense.
That is insanely useful. Why the heck is this not available now?! For instance, I crocheted a backpack for my niece. I wasn’t sure about the strap length so I guessed. If I had made the strap with this tool, it could have been cut to the perfect length, instead of tying an ugly knot.
You can do this with crochet! It looks different, because it's a needle pushing in from the opposite side as the hook, but in the end, it's just all front loop only slip stitches. As long as you crochet across the width of the band, not down the length, then you can cut the band anywhere to length, between the stitches, and pull out the little bits it leaves behind.
@@gfixler really? Had no idea. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble visualizing what you are explaining. Do you know where I could find instructions or the name of the stitch?
@@BlueJasmine24If you've ever crocheted flat, like where you work single crochets across, then turn and work single crochets back, over and over, it's quite literally that, but do slip stitches instead. You can cut between the rows, because making a bunch of slip stitches is just making a chain. Working back and forth in single crochets, each row is it's own unbroken chain, just looped over and over through the ones on either side. When you cut between the rows, you're just cutting apart one row. The slip stitch chains on the rows above and below don't end up cut. Pick out the pieces of the cut row, and you have 2 unbroken rows/fabrics above and below it. The very ends of the cut can be a little less stable, though, because the tails will be nothing more than the tiny bit that connected the rows where you turned.
Yes! My mom had one - but I seem to recall it did allow your work to easily unravel at all the edges, before you were finished if you weren’t very careful...
I still have mine, I don't remember the name and I lost the instructions. I was 12 and saw the TV commercial I mentioned that I wanted one, my mother surprised me one day after school with this tool and a small skein of yarn. Pure happiness.
@@pigeonegg1429 if you watch before the cut, the edges are very neat and clean. After the cut the edges look completely different. She made two completely different swatches. Use common sense
@@iicall_mehkanii5771 dumbass she just pulled out the small excess pieces she cut in the CENTER OF A ROW so therefore the ROW THAT WAS CUT IN HALF is now tiny shreds that she just pulled off
My grandma left me her wooden knitting & crochet box with lots of goodies in it & I just looked & I have one of these!! Thanks so much for the video, I had no idea how to use it since there's not many videos of vintage crochet tools available that shows how to use!!
Yes ! 😮 I haven’t seen it for decades that’s what I really got serious about crocheting where did you find it and you remembered how to use it fantastic
My gram had it in her stash that I inherited back in like 1987. I played around with it in my teens then just came across it a few years ago. Said to myself that one of these days I have to make a video on it :)
Hehe, yep! My grandmother had a couple of them she gave me in the 80s, then I found a few more at local estate sales. Definitely a fun little yarn tool to work with.
I had one, I got that, a latch hook pillow, a hook and loop set and yarn for Christmas one year. It was so much fun. I made A LOT of little potholders and stuff. Lol.😊
WRONG!! Knifty Knitter it something TOTALLY DIFFERENT!! This is from K-Tel, sorta like Ron Popeil stuff that was on TV back then; K-Tel even sold records you could order, knock-offs of popular pop songs from those times records by those trying to sound like the originals.
I think what’s more impressive then that almost seamless jump cut was that you were able to make two different pieces that look the exacte same as the one you cut up.😮
So the hook looks cool and all, but I'm kinda suspicious of the jumpcut after the piece is cut in half. Even with the tool, the technique itself looks pretty much like standard knitting and crochet, so I don't know how it would keep something from unraveling after being cut.
Thanks! That was from my grandmother's kit from the early 70s that I inherited. Honestly I'm surprised it's still in perfect condition. They made things really good back then!
@@loisharach3612 look in thrift shops and flea markets, estate sales too. I had one that I tossed when i was younger bc i thought it was broken. I got another from a local buy nothing group who was getting rid of a bunch of stuff they inherited. I still havent played with it yet
The way i finally got into using my nan's knitting gear was to find a pattern i really want to make and then i basically HAVE to learn. (you're even more inclined to pick it up of the project is going to be a gift for someone else) hope that helps !
After doing a little research I think this is the K-tel knitter. It’s a one needle looper from the 1970s. The modern version is fauxchet easy loop according to other videos I’ve seen. Hopefully my research is accurate.
What happened to the purple yarn in the blue after it was cut? What happened between that edit? I'm seriously curious? So does it really not unravel? We're those just pieces of purple yarn that were taken out of the blue after cutting?
Ya gotta pick out the little pieces of the row that was cut and it's faster not to show. I tried it with flo ss. It works but you'd need to leave some on the ends to weave in.
OMG 😮. Well I’m guessing g it’s coming back - since you got your hands on one. So spill the beans on how we can get one. Also do you have a video making that blanket or scarf in the background???
I just saw this video last night and this afternoon I went to a crafting thrift store and found it for $1!! I’m so excited, I just started crocheting about a week ago. Really excited to learn how to use my new tool!

Hadn't seen this before, and am amazed that it didn't take off enormously! 👏🏻
Omg that’s amazing, I don’t understand how it works but it’s sure is cool! Thank you for finding and sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I've always known the basics of this case, but I'm so happy that I got to learn the details with you 🧡
interesting that you switched the swatches after cutting them
Interesting that you're too stupid to know she pulled the excess fabric out when they were cut
she didnt, she just pulled out the little remaining bits of the row she cut 🤦 use common sense
@@pigeonegg1429 if you watch before the cut, the edges are very neat and clean. After the cut the edges look completely different. She made two completely different swatches. Use common sense
@@iicall_mehkanii5771 dumbass she just pulled out the small excess pieces she cut in the CENTER OF A ROW so therefore the ROW THAT WAS CUT IN HALF is now tiny shreds that she just pulled off
@@iicall_mehkanii5771 Right 💀
My grandma left me her wooden knitting & crochet box with lots of goodies in it & I just looked & I have one of these!! Thanks so much for the video, I had no idea how to use it since there's not many videos of vintage crochet tools available that shows how to use!!
Awesome! You are very fortunate to have one!
can you please share what its called?
I know I’d be pretty excited if I inherited a tool then saw it being demonstrated by someone else! Hope you have fun with it :)
Yes ! 😮 I haven’t seen it for decades that’s what I really got serious about crocheting where did you find it and you remembered how to use it fantastic
My gram had it in her stash that I inherited back in like 1987. I played around with it in my teens then just came across it a few years ago. Said to myself that one of these days I have to make a video on it :)
Oh my goodness Donna! I do remember that gadget! Wow! 😮
Hehe, yep! My grandmother had a couple of them she gave me in the 80s, then I found a few more at local estate sales. Definitely a fun little yarn tool to work with.
SHE IS A WIZARD!
*Harry Potter Starts Playing*
I had one, I got that, a latch hook pillow, a hook and loop set and yarn for Christmas one year. It was so much fun. I made A LOT of little potholders and stuff. Lol.😊
Whats the name of the hook
I remember that!! I had one as a kid. I always thought it was a “starter” knitting needle. 😂
Wow! I never saw such a tool! I am 84 years old and knitted and crocheted all my life. Interesting! ❤
Also known as the Knifty Knitter. I have several.
WRONG!! Knifty Knitter it something TOTALLY DIFFERENT!! This is from K-Tel, sorta like Ron Popeil stuff that was on TV back then; K-Tel even sold records you could order, knock-offs of popular pop songs from those times records by those trying to sound like the originals.
Me who crochet’s: OMG WHAT I NEED THIS ASAP
Bro imma now start if I got this tool!
New version fauxchet easy loop tool
That is terrifying. Thank you.
I love your videos
Thank you for your kindness! ❤️
Yes I have one but can not find tutorials of different stitches. SO all I know is simplicity stitch. I hope you do some tutorials on stitches with it~
Yes, I can’t remember either. Maybe there is more than 1 YT channel about it? I’m going to search. 🐨🦘👋🏻
What’s the exact name for this tool?
@@roxy725 it’s called K-Tel Knitter.
@@roxy725 Ktel looper
literally drooling over this.
I NEED THIS. NOW
I got one from Ebay and its called a K-tell knitter..
yeah its pretty nifty
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 mind giving the link?☺️ tried finding it but couldn’t
Whoaaa😍 I loved this vintage yarn tool 🪡
I have two of these I got in grandma things mostly yarn crochet hooks and knitting needles and books
I've seen that before I think... i NEED IT!
I think what’s more impressive then that almost seamless jump cut was that you were able to make two different pieces that look the exacte same as the one you cut up.😮
its like crocheting in another level
Never seen one, thanks for showing it.
Yes. I just have to go to my tool drawer and there it is!
Take me to ur leader... Need answers quickly ?!?!!💜
Please do more of this this is my new favorite video I’ve never laughed so hard😭
took me a few minutes to get it set up in my imagination... you cut with the row not against it....nice...cool tool...
So the hook looks cool and all, but I'm kinda suspicious of the jumpcut after the piece is cut in half. Even with the tool, the technique itself looks pretty much like standard knitting and crochet, so I don't know how it would keep something from unraveling after being cut.
WOW!!! That's so cool 💕
Magic circle magic crochet. ❤
That blows my mind. How do you find these things??
Thanks! That was from my grandmother's kit from the early 70s that I inherited. Honestly I'm surprised it's still in perfect condition. They made things really good back then!
Is there anyone in the USA, or CANADA that sells this awesome find? I really think I need one of these!!!
@@loisharach3612 I agree, I am a gadget junkie!!
@@loisharach3612 look in thrift shops and flea markets, estate sales too. I had one that I tossed when i was younger bc i thought it was broken. I got another from a local buy nothing group who was getting rid of a bunch of stuff they inherited. I still havent played with it yet
It's a K-tel knitter. Vintage so maybe ebay or Etsy. Grant had a version also. Easy loops is a more model type.
Yeah I think I have a couple in my moms knitting stuff, I keep telling myself I’m going to pick it back up but it’s been 18 years and I still can’t.
The way i finally got into using my nan's knitting gear was to find a pattern i really want to make and then i basically HAVE to learn. (you're even more inclined to pick it up of the project is going to be a gift for someone else) hope that helps !
I remember my friend's sister had one. We were poor and couldn't afford one, I had to stick with my knitting and crochet.
Wow. I never saw that before!! I learn new stuff from you all the time. ❤
would love to see more about this! ive never seen one of these and i have no clue what it is
UA-cam k-tel knitter. It's vintage
The modern crochet hook originated in 1830's. Different hooks were used prior to that as part of knitting.
I'm not sure I fully understand how it works! 😮
Is it just me or is her voice so soothing
Let's just say she got two other yarn lil test thingys but yeah she definitely replaced it after the cutting
"It won't unravel." - 🤯🥳
Woah that's cool, what's the tool called?
After doing a little research I think this is the K-tel knitter. It’s a one needle looper from the 1970s. The modern version is fauxchet easy loop according to other videos I’ve seen. Hopefully my research is accurate.
@@HannahCarter2112 correct. I have the same one as in this video and it says k-tel on it.
@@HannahCarter2112 thank you!! I want one and didn't know what to look up.
@@HannahCarter2112 I’ve tried looking for that one can’t find it
It was discontinued. But there is a tool called the fauxchet easy loop tool
Wow!! Everything back then was made well to last
Hi, are you going to make a torurial?
What happened to the purple yarn in the blue after it was cut? What happened between that edit? I'm seriously curious? So does it really not unravel? We're those just pieces of purple yarn that were taken out of the blue after cutting?
Ya gotta pick out the little pieces of the row that was cut and it's faster not to show. I tried it with flo ss. It works but you'd need to leave some on the ends to weave in.
I saw this and went 'What is this witchcraft!' Then giggled at the craft part.
Honestly I can tell that the cut piece turned into two separate crochet pieces after
OMG 😮. Well I’m guessing g it’s coming back - since you got your hands on one. So spill the beans on how we can get one. Also do you have a video making that blanket or scarf in the background???
Try Etsy or eBay!
I'm pretty sure I found something like this in my Nana's sewing kit!
Most definitely. My Gram had this in her kit too.
You can get the same thing by crocheting literally a single crochet stitch. That’s what that is.
WoW! And it's looks way more easy 🎉🎉😊
Stopp I literally need that I crochet I love it ❤
How awesome is that...
Magnifesting to have this yarn🤩
I just saw this video last night and this afternoon I went to a crafting thrift store and found it for $1!! I’m so excited, I just started crocheting about a week ago. Really excited to learn how to use my new tool!
That's awesome! Great find!
Wow, this is so cool
Oh wow! That is so awesome! I want one
The best cut I ever seen
I had one of these as a teenager it was called a Looper what great fun I had with it❤
Yep! And yours I believe was the original one. The one I'm using I believe was made after yours.
