Crochet assistance apparatus

A crochet assistance apparatus for supporting a flexible filament, the apparatus comprising:

• a base;
• a guide assembly coupled to the base, wherein the guide assembly comprises a guide hook having a distal guide surface and a proximal guide surface, and wherein the distal guide surface is positioned relatively farther from the base than the proximal guide surface;
• and
• a tensioner assembly coupled to the guide assembly, wherein the tensioner assembly is configured to receive the flexible filament, the tensioner assembly having a first filament contact surface, a second filament contact surface, and a third filament contact surface, wherein the tensioner assembly comprises a first stabilizing rod, a central rod, and a second stabilizing rod, wherein the first filament contact surface is disposed on the first stabilizing rod, wherein the second filament contact surface is disposed on the central rod, and wherein the third filament contact surface is disposed on the second stabilizing rod, and wherein the tensioner assembly exerts a resistance to the flexible filament moving through the tensioner assembly.
