How do you use circular crochet hooks?
These hooks are like the circular knitting needles, but are used for the tunisian or afghan stitch. The one that I have is to make a “40″ wide panel. I just can’t figure out how to use them.
I have never seen a circular crochet hook. I imagine that it could be used for circular crocheting in the same way as with knitting. But probably the reason for this type of hook is to hold a great many stitches in order to make blanket sized material specifically a “40″ wide panel.
You first crochet a chain as long as you need, then you proceed to put loops on your needle. The second row is worked off by first going through the first length-wide loop and thereafter through two loops. The third row is done by putting on loops by going through the length-wide stitches until you finish at the end of the row. Repeat the second and third rows for the length you need.
