Can you take Crochet Hooks on an Airplane?

Can you take crochet hooks on an airplane? Here is what I packed and was able to carry on in my purse. Everything passed TSA check.

1. Yarn from my stash- I wanted a few colors for my granny square and was happy that these fit in the bag.
2. Crochet hooks- I always pack a hook and a spare. I have this set of bamboo needles that is great for travel- because TSA in general likes wood or plastic crochet hooks vs metal ones.
3. Printed pattern- I printed the paper double-sided and folded it up.
4. Travel Scissors- Scissors need to be blunt, no pointy edges. This scissor folds into a super compact size.
5. A Zippered Pouch– I like to have everything fit nicely into a small zippered pouch.

Can you take Crochet Hooks on an Airplane?

• Very important–don’t pack your favorite prized hooks or needles. I LOVE my Clover ergonomic hooks but would never try to carry them onto a plane. One -they are metal, and two they come as a set of pretty colored hooks and I would be terribly sad if I lost one of them.
• Pack an extra crochet hook. I have learned this the hard way. I have dropped one too many hooks in our car or in a plane and spent time searching for them instead of crocheting. So now, I pack two hooks at all times.
• Think about maybe packing a paper tape, this one is in fact from one of our IKEA purchases and has lasted long! A paper one is easy to fold and if you lose it while traveling – it’s easy to replace.
• Don’t forget to pack those travel scissors. I like that this set has 4 travel scissors!

can you take metal crochet hooks on a plane?

Yes! Metal crochet hooks are allowed on a plane as per TSA rules. They don’t want you carrying anything super point and sharp like a needle or sharp scissors.
