It is basically a round shaft pointed on one end, with a lateral groove behind it. The point eases the insertion of the hook through the material being crocheted and the groove makes it possible to pull a loop back through the material. The shaft is then divided into a working area that determines the hook's nominal diameter and ensures the uniform sizing of the loops formed on it, and a handle. ====== Challenges ====== ====== Approaches ====== ===== Plarn ===== [[File:Plarn.jpg|thumb]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_yarns#Plarn|Plarn]] is a plastic yarn made from used plastic shopping bags.
