I fell in love with hook locking after I bought the book Hook, Loop ‘n’ Lock: Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects
The way I hook and lock is a little different from the book, so if you want to know how Theresa did it, please refer to Hook, Loop ‘n’ Lock: Create Fun and Easy Locker Hooked Projects
Due to the details of the Locker Hook tutorial, I have to split it to 3 parts:
1. Basic Locker Hook Preparation

I enjoy locker hooking but am always afraid of not having enough material. How do you know how much to buy. I make 14″ pillows.
I am not sure, Nancy. I always prepare 6 to 8 times of materials based on the area, 14″ x 14″, for your case.
I just bought the hook loop and lock book. I was overwhelmed by the yardage amounts for these projects! Do you really use that much material. It seems like a lot of material for just a pillow or placemat.
Wonder if you could use a knooking hook (knook) to do this? It is made of wood, but it has an eye and a hook. I’m going to try it and see.
Teresa, I am not sure about the knook tool, please keep us update if it is do-able. By the way, I have got a proper locker hook and will try it soon too.
Hi,
Can i know where i can find the locker hooking Kits to buy in malaysia for starting?
So far I haven’t found any shop locally that sells locker hooking tools and materials. You can buy from Color Crazy online shop from USA.
Lovely tutorial and possibilities! Thanks a lot! I do the something similar with crochet. I’ve made a rug, a bag, a tapestry and I use a simple clean cloth. I’ve a nice video.
Wow, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing all your incredible crafts. I have been wanting to locker hook a rug for my bathroom. THANKS!
Hello!
Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial.. There is one thing I don’t understand: What do you mean with leaving 5 square for borders and how do we have to cut… Can you explain?
Thank you again. Love this blog, already in my favorites…

PS Excuse my english, I’m french speaking.
That is the allowance on the border for you to fold the canvas in. By having double layer of canvas at the edge will enhance the structure of the project. It will make the locker hook project firmer.
Hope this help 🙂
Wow! You have so much nice little handmade Christmas ornaments and now even more creative hand crafts…. waiting patiently for the locker hook! 🙂
I am so excited to watch the rest of the tutorials! I need another craft. Lol
