Latch hook letters

Using these latch hook letters

Each character lists how many knots (pre-cut yarn pieces) it needs and its size on 3.75-hole rug canvas. For a full name with a border and background, use the latch hook name pattern maker.

Every knot uses one pre-cut piece of yarn, so counting knots is the same as counting the yarn you need to buy.

Tips before you start

Latch hook pile is soft and fluffy, so thin strokes blur. Basic and Serif letters read best; Tiny letters only work on 5-hole canvas and in strongly contrasting colours. A single big initial on a rug is usually more effective than a long name.

Hook the letters first, row by row from the bottom, then fill the background. Brush the pile away from the letter edges as you go so neighbouring colours do not cover the lettering.
