How do I Use a Latch Hook Tool for Rugs?
- 1). Select a piece of yarn in a color that corresponds to the printed colors on the canvas.
- 2). Fold the yarn piece in half around the latch hook, holding the yarn piece in place below the movable latch of the latch hook.
- 3). Insert the latch hook into a canvas hole and then back up out of the canvas hole immediately above the first hole. Push the latch hook up so the top portion with the movable latch extends out of the top hole in the canvas with the folded yarn piece wrapped around the latch hook below the bottom canvas hole.
- 4). Open the latch of the latch hook and wrap the yarn over the latch hook with the two ends of the yarn piece in the open latch area of the latch hook.
- 5). Pull the latch hook carefully down through the holes in the canvas. As you pull the latch hook down, the latch will close around the yarn. Continue pulling the latch hook through the holes. The pulling movement will tie the yarn piece around the canvas.
- 6). Remove the latch hook from the canvas and tighten the yarn piece by pulling the ends gently.
- 7). Repeat this process to attach the yarn pieces to the canvas, following the color pattern printed on the canvas.
