Abstract
A knitting tool which is suitable for embodying both large and small loops has two needles (), disposed coaxially to one another, whose hooks are oriented identically. The hook of the larger needle () is split in two in the middle and comprises hook halves. The finer needle () can be driven between the two hook halves upon spreading of the two hook halves apart from one another. For selectively closing the hooks, a slide is provided, which can be brought into engagement both with the tip of the fine needle and with the tip of the coarser needle. To raise and lower the slide to the various positions of the hook tips relative to the needle back, a sliding control block may be provided. The sliding control block may be embodied on the coarse needle and the fine needle ().
