You can crochet a chain stitch with your fingers, but doing other stitches will be impossible unless your work is very very loose. It is technically possible to crochet with a knitting needle, but it's not really worth all the fiddling and frustration.
Other contributors have said:- Yes! You can. It is actually easier to crochet without the hook, in my opinion. Just make a slip knot on your finger and pull the long string through the loop, and pull on the long string to make the loop smaller.
not for me! you weave the yarn through your finger when your using the hook, and you can't do that when the knots on your finger. plus the hook has to twist, but theres no hook on your finger. although one time i crocheted a whole scarf with my fingers.
I think you might be able to crochet with a broken hook--depending on where the hook is broken.
The parts of a crochet hook, from point of hook to end of handle would be:
point of hook
hook
throat
shaft
thumb rest
handle
If the hook itself is broken, it wouldn't work, because you have no way to "hook" the material and bring it through a stitch. If you have the hook, throat and some of the shaft, you possibly could still crochet--depending on your dexterity.
I would suggest though that you just get another hook. Hooks are generally not too expensive.
