Aluminum Tunisian (afghan) hook with 30 cm working length to hold many stitches for textured fabrics. The smooth shaft keeps loops uniform through forward and return passes, and the rounded head reduces splitting. At 4.5 mm (US 7), it fits scarves, panels and lightweight throws. Choose yarn appropriate to hook size and swatch to confirm gauge for a balanced drape. Check gauge against your pattern to achieve the intended drape and dimensions. Swatch before starting to confirm fabric and tension.
