Just when you think you have all of the crochet tools you need, something new and exciting comes along! I ordered this beautiful jumbo crochet hook from Jenkins Woodworking, and it is the most remarkable jumbo hook I have ever seen. I love that it was handmade by an Oregon woodworker and his wife. I purchased one of their hairpin lace looms last year and was so impressed, I didn't hesitate to place another order with them. There aren't a lot of places to buy jumbo hooks, and these are the best quality I have found. I also love that they wrote a personal note on the invoice:
I ordered a 25mm (size U) hook to get started with. If I decide I like large scale crochet, I think I will order the 22mm (size T) and 28mm (size V) as well.
After I came across this inspiring blog post showing a giant granny square used as a chair covering, I fell in love with the idea of extreme crochet, and I knew I had to try it!
With the right yarn and doily pattern, a jumbo hook makes an incredible rug!
This gorgeous chair has been cross stitched, but I am thinking something similar and equally effective could be done with the surface crochet technique and a jumbo hook. Now, I am off to find some ultra chunky yarn to play with! |
Awesome! I think I'll give it a go! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fun! You are tempting me to get a super jumbo hook, too, now.
ReplyDeleteNext time we meet IRL we will have to have a Giant HOok off! Your Jenkins vs. my Craftwich "U" hook! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a giant hook and I'm making a doily rug, but I love the stool covering!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever try this? How did it turn out?
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsay, I haven't had time to try it, but as soon as I do, I will be posting about it!
ReplyDeleteFound any good lead on super chunky yarn?
ReplyDeleteBerroco has a few super chunky yarns that look promising: http://www.berroco.com/yarn-listing/5/all/all/all/all/all

ReplyDeletewhere did you find the pattern for the rug i love the frilliness of it
ReplyDeleteHi lkp, I saw this rug on Pinterest. Try the website that is in the lower right-hand corner of the photo.
ReplyDeletethe doily pattern is named "splendid" by Patricia Kristoffersen and is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/227039541/crochet-doily-splendid-pdf-pattern?ref=listing-shop-header-0

Hi there. Can you give an idea of the yarn that could be used for this? I translated her page from French to English where she says she used 10 threads to do the granny square, but the yarn she posted is a dead link. Thanks.
