Bare Hook

I've called this Tatter's Hook "Bare" because the hook isn't covered. While getting the hook tangled in your clothes is a risk, it is simpler to use, and allows more decorative options. This one is cherry with a brass wire spiral. It can be made of any of the solid wood choices listed on the Tatter's Accessories page. You can have one made like this, or suggest some other design. It's about 3 inches long, and has a hole drilled for a lanyard or other device to hang it around your neck.
