Cro-hook
Template:Short description The cro-hook is a special double-ended crochet hook used to make double-sided crochet. It employs the use of a long double-ended hook, which permits the maker to work stitches on or off from either end.<ref name="BrittainManthey2011">Template:Cite book</ref> Because the hook has two ends, two alternating colors of thread can be used simultaneously and freely interchanged, working loops over the hook.<ref name="BrittainManthey2011"/><ref name="Milne2011">Template:Cite book</ref> Crafts using a double-ended hook are commercially marketed as Cro-hook and Crochenit. Cro-hook is a variation of Tunisian crochet and also shows similarities with the Afghan stitch used to make Afghan scarves, but the fabric is typically softer with greater elasticity.<ref name="Sims2000">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="BrittainManthey2011"/>
