I'm thinking for dropped stitches also. I had similar tools for my knitting machine years ago

Nope, it's not that. I have a collection of shoe button and glove button hooks. They aren't made anything like this odd-looking gizmo. I think I'm of the same mindset as several others. It looks like something for hooking rugs or for fixing snags in sweaters. ;-)

Its business end has a hook with a hinged bit that would allow the user to pull something out without snagging. The whole thing is less than 3" long. We are baffled.
used for sweater pulls, used to fix them with same yarn, hook rugs but light ones , I have same from my grandmother days , on the other end is a gadget pull though helper..

Kandi! That makes sense!!! I'm just glad it stayed in my pile of stuff instead of going into the garbage. I'm all about fixing clothing instead of tossing it. Thank you! :-)
