Latch hook
Latch hook involves short pieces of yarn that are "hooked" or tied, onto individual squares of a canvas grid to create a patterned finished piece, usually a rug. Latch hooking is a very popular form of craft today that stems from rug hooking, an earlier, cheaper alternative to machine-made rugs. Because latch hook rugs vary in size, the finished piece is often used as a wall hanging rather than an actual floor covering.
