They consist of all sorts of different designs and shapes and each are unique in their own way. I have spotted a few mistakes here and there.Some are completely misshapen but that actually makes me love the blanket more.

I also sell hooks through my Etsy shop, so I've had a chance to test a few styles out. (Link in the right side bar if you want to have a look!) I really like the feel of wooden hooks, like these bamboo hooks. When using finer hooks, or even if you are working for a long time, I find the hooks with a thicker grip are a bit easier on the hand!
