| 20100024488 | Finishing needle - The finishing needle is a hand sewing tool used for weaving loose ends of yarn back into a hand-knitted item when finishing a knitting work. The finishing needle is a long needle with two ends that taper to a semi-point at each end. The needle has a single eye that extends through the length of the needle. The eye has a beveled edge that provides for easier threading and to hold the yarn securely. The finishing needle can weave loose ends of yarn into a knitted item when finishing without stopping to turn the needle around, and with no need to re-thread, when weaving in the opposite direction. The finishing needle can more easily make use of shorter lengths of yarn than a conventional needle or hook, and can finish a large knitted item or one with multiple colors much faster than with a conventional needle. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20120036898 | Flight Acceptable Knitting Needles - A knitting needle has multiple segments, at least one of which is relatively non-rigid, wherein the segments can be combined to produce a needle that is sufficiently rigid to be used for knitting, while also having diminished usefulness as a weapon. In three major classes of embodiments, one of the segments fits inside the other in a telescoping manner, one of the segments wraps around the other, or the two segments can fit together in some sort of slotted fashion. There may be one or more engineered points of structural failure. Segments can be held together frictionally, magnetically, threadably, using a snap or twist and lock fitting, or in any other suitable manner. Contemplated segments can have any suitable composition, including especially a bendable plastic or a foam rubber. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20140047868 | Device and Method for Repairing a Knitted Article - The present application describes a device and method for repairing dropped stitches and for correcting errors in previously knitted rows in a knitted article. The knitting repair tool of the present invention comprises a first hook and a second hook at opposite ends of a relatively short elongated shaft for recovering a first stitch and for recovering a second stitch in a knitted article, wherein the second stitch is recovered after the first stitch has been recovered, without releasing the recovered first stitch from the knitting repair tool. The present invention describes various methods for repairing dropped stitches in a knitted article wherein a first dropped stitch that is recovered is not released prior to recovering a second dropped stitch. | 02-20-2014 |
| 20140202215 | Knitting Needle - A knitting needle ( | 07-24-2014 |
| 20150143854 | NEEDLE FOR FABRIC CREATION BY KNITTING - A needle for use in creating fabric from yam having an elongate, substantially parallel-sided shaft and a tip, the tip having a transition part whose diameter and cross-section substantially matches shaft's diameter and cross section, and a tapered part which tapers from the diameter of the transition part to a point, the Up and shaft being releasably engageable with each other. | 05-28-2015 |
| 20150308022 | INTERCHANGEABLE KNITTING NEEDLE SYSTEM - An interchangeable circular knitting needle system with improved reliability and consistency having at least one knitting needle, at least one flexible cable, and a connector assembly to join the needle to the cable. The connector assembly is composed of two members, a plug and a receptacle. The plug may be inserted snugly into the receptacle to ensure a reliable physical connection. An interchangeable circular knitting needle kit is composed of the interchangeable circular knitting needle described above as well as a disconnecting tool for assisting in disconnecting the connector assembly members. | 10-29-2015 |
| 066118000 | Crochet | 4 |
| 20130205838 | Ergonomic Crochet Hook - One or more ergonomic crochet devices are provided herein. A crochet device may comprise a curved elongated shaft and/or a grip anchor. The curved elongated shaft may be configured to provide a depressed resting angle of the crochet device when held by the user at rest. The depressed resting angle may result in a hook of the curved elongated shaft being positioned at a lower position than conventional crochet devices when held at rest. In this way, reduced wrist flexing may be used to lower the hook into a crocheting angle and/or maintain the hook at the crocheting angle during crocheting activity. The grip anchor may be configured to create a pivot point of the crochet device near the grip anchor. In this way, small wrist motion may translate into large positional change of the hook in order to easily rotate and/or manipulate the crochet device during crocheting activity. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20140216110 | STRAIGHT SHAFT LATCH NEEDLE - A sewing needle for use in crocheting and the like. The needle has a shaft with a hook. The shaft is straight and includes a handle. | 08-07-2014 |
| 20150361602 | Piercing Crochet Hook - Disclosed here is a type of crochet hook of use in piercing a material for crocheting purposes, where the crochet hook's end may be tapered at a sufficiently acute angle so as to allow the end to pierce the desired material. | 12-17-2015 |
| 20160047074 | CROCHET HOOK AND GRIP BODY FOR CROCHET HOOK - A crochet hook can include: a rod-like crochet-hook shaft 2 which has a tip formed with a hook portion | 02-18-2016 |

A slide is movably arranged on the needle body between an initial position (I) and a stitch knock-over position (II). The slide has two slide blades. A hook hole on a free blade end of the slide blades is formed by inner hole surfaces. In the stitch knock-over position (II), each inner hole surface lies against an associated lateral hook surface of the needle hook at a contact location and the contact area between the slide and the needle hook is reduced in a height direction (H). | 06-09-2016 |
