Heraldic Dolphin Fish Pjoning

Published:

Description

It's a mouthful, I know. This hook is specific to a unique form of crochet called pjoning or shepherd's knitting. Its shape only permits single crochets to be made. The results are a very dense and sturdy fabric with patterns worked only in the front or back loop of the previous row.

I used the heraldic dolphin fish because it's a rather interesting image. This particular fish is modelled from a set of submarine dolphins.

It's made from cowbone and is about 4 inches long. In a private collection.

What is a pjoning, if I may ask?
