Latch hooking is a popular, relaxing craft that involves creating rugs, pillows, and wall hangings by knotting pre-cut yarn onto a stiff, gridded canvas using a specialized tool. It is suitable for all skill levels, often using kits that include a color-coded canvas and yarn for easy, engaging, and creative projects.
Latch hooking is considered very easy and beginner-friendly, requiring minimal skill to get started. It involves a simple, repetitive knotting technique using a specialized tool to pull yarn through a grid canvas, making it a popular, relaxing craft suitable for both adults and children (typically ages 7+).
If you’re a beginner, I always recommend starting your practice knots in the centre of the piece as it’s easier to get the hang of than along the edge. But once you’re used to the technique, then it’s best to start working from the top down.
