How to Create a Latch Hook Kit

Step 1 
Choose a pattern.

Step 2
Enlarge it to the size of rug needed. If you are enlarging the pattern with a copy machine, watch that the design does not become distorted.


Step 3
Decide on and purchase wool or acrylic rug yarn to complete the project. A good pattern will tell you how many yards of yarn you need.

Step 4
Include tools if they're not on hand: latch hook, binding tape, scissors and 3.3-square-per-inch mesh polyester/cotton canvas.

Step 5
Add the little extras. A latch hook frame is for the person "hooked" on rug making. A magnifier helps keep eyes from getting tired.

Step 6
Consider specialized and various-size hooks and fringe yarn as well.

Step 7
Present the kit, if it is a gift, in a pretty basket.
