latch hook is a yarn craft that involves short pieces of yarn that are tied, or “hooked,” onto individual squares of a canvas grid to create a patterned finished piece, usually a rug.

characteristic of folk embroidery in Eastern and Central
Europe.[2]
In the United States, the earliest known cross-stitch sampler is
currently housed at Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts.[3] The
sampler was created by Loara Standish, the daughter of Captain
Myles Standish, circa 1653.
Multicoloured, shaded, painting-like patterns as we know them today
are a recent development, deriving from similar shaded patterns of
Berlin wool work of the mid-nineteenth century.
Traditionally, cross-stitch was used t
