The crochet hook is THE fundamental tool for crocheters and that’s why it’s so important to choose the right one for you. The metal part of the hook was smooth, which is super important to me. And the wide handle felt good in my hands. I didn’t take very well to using the Addi Swing . I’m very glad I tried it and after a while it was quite comfortable but it took some practice.

I’m naturally a very twitchy person – I don’t sit still for very long – and this behaviour translates with crochet hooks as well. If I’ve been using a Clover Amour all day designing something in the Crochet Coach studio and I want to switch to another project, I’ll often change to a different style of hook too just to mix it up. It’s like exercise – if you run 5km every day your body eventually gets used to it and you need to change your exercise routine to incorporate something different. The handle isn’t ergonomic per se, it’s just built up with polymer clay to give it a handle. I think this is a plus though because it’s inclusive of all crocheters. Both pen and knife grips can use them.I will do a full post on the whole shebang of hooks but for now you just need to know that there are basically two kinds of hooks and most brands are based on these kinds of hooks. The pointed head and grippy handle are two really big positives. But there’s one negative that makes the Addi Premium Hook lower on my list.

They’re not ideal for tight crocheters because the tapered throat allows the working loop to slip even smaller and tighter as you’re crocheting I was so disappointed with these hooks as they look so lovely, but the metal actually slowed me down when I was crocheting with them. I don’t love the feel of the plastic handle but the row and stitch counting features made up for it. And what’s even better is that the set is rechargeable.

I found this hook extremely difficult to work with. If you are using this hook, you are likely having a lot of issues making amigurumi. It’s not you, it’s the hook.

Finally, I will give you most honest opinion about these crochet hooks, enabling you to make an informed decision. Items such as fabrics, elastics and other items that are cut to length cannot be returned unless they are faulty. These crochet hooks, may not be my number one favorite for crocheting, but they are definitely better than a lot of others. One of the best features in my opinion is the handle shape. I love how it feels in my hand and how it reduces strain on my joints, muscles and tendons.

I’m a knife grip crocheter and found it fine to use the Addi Swing but I’m pretty sure a pen grip crocheter would struggle – they look to me like they’re designed for knife grippers. My personal preference shouldn’t really come into anyone else’s crochet hook experiences but I’m a Clover Amour gal through and through. I use and love a variety of crochet hooks but if I have the choice, I generally reach for a Clover every time! Addi is one of my favorite brands of knitting needles, so I was curious what their crochet hooks would be like. I bought this from a knitting store that carries only Addi hooks so I was kind of forced into buying it but I quite like it. It’s a 2mm so I use it for amigurumi and it’s a top notch little hook. I prefer these to the Addi Swing so if you’re going to budget for an Addi hook, try this one first, especially if you’re a pencil grip crocheter. I can’t quite imagine how a pencil grip crocheter would hold and Addi Swing. If anyone can point me to a video of it being done, I’d love to see it!On the event that your parcel is held up or is lost, it may take up to three months to receive an answer from the Australia Post Investigation Team.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crocheter, selecting the right crochet hook is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable crocheting experience. With the multitude of options available, it can be overwhelming to know which crochet hook is best suited for your project. The Omni Crochet hook is one of the most beautiful crochet hooks I’ve ever used. It’s made of a resin material and moved through the yarn quite smoothly. I really like cheap little Birch hooks. They’re better than the full metal ones (for some reason those ones just don’t mesh with me) and they’re really affordable. I have several because I like to keep my hook with the project so I don’t forget which hook I was using so I actually have 2 size 4 Birch hooks. No complaints.
