Susan Bates Crochet Hook Cushion Grips 3.75"-2/Pkg

Product Information

As a knife-grip hooker, I’ve found the opposite to be true about tapered head hooks–rather than letting the stitches slide and tighten more as I work, they slide and loosen up so I have gawdawful floppy loops on top of my stitches.

So, I am a true pencil grip and I have been unsuccessful at changing my grip to anything else and it just works for me. This is where hook design can vary enormously and preference and personal comfort start to come into play. 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. To test it out, I grabbed some scrap Lionbrand Mandala yarn and whipped up this little cutie: Image by Chanel of cbfiberworks. I love my knit pro 8mm and my plastic clover amour 12mm, and I have inline bamboo hooks in 9mm and 10mm that I like using too (I think these are knitpro too but the brand has long since worn off!

Purple 4mm beaded crochet hook, crochet, handmade ergonomic crochet hook tool with silicone beads for easy hand comfort. However, the combination of narrow shaft and very pointy tip of the hook meant that the tip would split my yarn every time I tried to draw back up through a loop. If you have found any of my blogs, resources or free patterns helpful and would like to make a contribution, I welcome voluntary donations, no matter how small.

Properly holding the crochet hook can help you maintain consistent tension more easily, leading to a more even and attractive outcome in the final project.I was a bit wary of the large handle – it’s enormous and I’ve never crocheted with anything quite so bulky before.
