K Hook.

[jessicali]

What are some patterns that call for a K sized hook? I have googled & can't find anything!

If you are a member of Ravelry there is a search option that allows you to search by hook size

This is the link for my search. You will need to be a member to access it.

Great suggestion. I had a baby blanket that called for one. That is the only time I have needed one.

Sue's famous Stash Buster Tote uses a K hook. Everyone that makes it becomes addicted.

Actually, I use a K hook a lot! I'm one of those tight crocheters, so I usually have to go up at least 2 hook sizes for a pattern. For worsted weight yarn, I usually have to go up to a J hook, but sometimes I have to use a K hook.

I usually use a K when I am using two strands of yarn together. It works well for this.

I have used either a K or an N for a pair very lightweight, summery Seraphina Shawls for my mother. This was with sport weight yarn so you can see I deliberately pushed the gauge way up to achieve drapey little shawls. They turned out pretty and exactly the weight she wanted.

Great idea! I didn't think of this!

 

Thanks ladies!

 

I found a K hook when I was going through my drawers earlier looking for some yarn & figured I'd try something with it sometime!
