About this deal

My English hooks are slightly more pointy at the point and have a slightly sharper lip…looks to be inline style, but it’s hard to tell with the teensy tiny hooks. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.

One crucial aspect of crocheting, which can significantly impact your ease and enjoyment of the craft, is the way you hold your crochet hook. i did see on their listing that you can cut off your favorite hook and use it in the egg, which would work better for me because i personally like that exact type of gray susan bates hook that you showed in the photo. If you wish, you can mark the size of the hook on the outside of the cushion with the permanent marker. Read on to learn about the two most popular crochet grips and give them a try to see how they can improve your own crocheting experience.According to Beth’s videos and her Etsy listing, each Chunky Boy can be slid onto any hook (for the size) and adjusted up or down depending on your personal grip.

Below, I will explain the main features which vary between crochet hooks and how these may impact your preferences, your crochet rhythm and tension. Nancy, I also crochet by twisting the hook to catch the loop, and yes, I don’t feel I can do that using the egg hook.

The thumb brace wraps around your wrist, and has an extension which a metal piece sewn into the brace which runs down along your thumb, immobilizing the bending of the thumb. Fingers crossed I have left you with some food for thought about what your preferences might be, what to look out for and maybe an idea of what you might like to try next. They grab a loop and keep it there, but make it let go when you need that, and they have an actual point on them, so placement of the stitch is more accurate. Place a cushion behind your back or raising up your work on a cushion can both help to improve your posture and enhance your crochet experience.

Experimenting with various grip styles can allow you to find your most natural and comfortable hand position, ultimately improving your crocheting experience and the quality of your projects. If making your own modifiers is not working for you, there are some commercially available options for some of the more common sizes of crochet hooks.The only downside for me having a pencil grip is that it is sooooo much harder to tunisian crochet because my hand placement prevents the stitches from moving down the hook as I work further into a row. Featuring a softly tapered tip that makes inserting the hook between/into stitches much easier, and a glorious gold finish that helps you see your stitches, whichever yarn you use, KnitPro's Soft Grip Crochet Hooks are available in a great range of sizes, and are perfect for beginners and pros alike. In many, but not all, inline hooks you may also notice (as in the wooden hook pictured below) that the throat of the hook does not narrow towards the head when you look from the front or back. I don’t think these are the worst looking ergonomic crochet hooks by a long shot (the earwax coloured Clover Soft Touches are pretty hard on the eye) but there’s something very medical about the way they look. Unique Hook Extractor: the fact that these grips come with a hook extractor is a huge plus in my book.

There are may different scales for sizing crochet hook and you can find a chart comparing the different global crochet hook size terminology used here. i did find a set of bamboo ergonomic hooks from china that look like the clover soft grip ones, but with a more bates-like hook. They’re better than the full metal ones (for some reason those ones just don’t mesh with me) and they’re really affordable. But the almighty TikTok algorithm must’ve noticed my interest because guess who kept popping up on my FYP.By incorporating regular breaks and gentle stretches into your crocheting routine, you can maintain optimal comfort and prevent potential problems. The small finger and thumb of the non-dominant hand secure the crochet work, making it easier to manipulate stitches. I often wonder if there is a relationship between grip style and hook preference, but I’m yet to see the science! Hello Chanel my name is Marla and I just bought my first clover hook, I usually use Boye h99ks because the handle is perfect for me.
