To provide knitting needles that are less likely to slip off the yarn and offer excellent operability. [Solution] A continuous groove in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer circumference of the tip of the knitting needle, allowing the yarn to be locked in place and pulled out during knitting. [Effects] It prevents the yarn from coming loose, reduces the movement of the fingers, and improves the efficiency and workability of knitting operations. Furthermore, the ability to secure and pull out the yarn without adjusting the direction of the knitting needles further improves operability.

A crochet hook cover includes a body made of silicone rubber. The body has a rounded end and a flat end, with a cross-cut slit formed in the flat end. The cross-cut slit extends along a centerline of the body to a depth less than the length of the body. The crochet hook cover fits over the hook end of a variety of crochet hook devices having a range of handle lengths. The elasticity of the silicone rubber allows the crochet hook cover to securely fit over a large range of hook sizes. The hook end of a crochet hook device can remain inserted with an active stitch on the hook end to prevent unraveling when pausing work. The crochet hook device can then be placed in a project bag, inserted into a ball of yarn, or laid on the partially completed work without risk of snag or entanglement.
