Best Crochet Hook Sets

Depends if you want inline or tapered hooks.

Furls does not make any true inline hooks. If you like tapered they’re great. I recommend the odyssey for any project that has long repeats i. e. Blankets, scarves, shawls.
The streamline is good, but ones smaller than H tend to break, my G broke where the hook is shortly after I received it.
Other tapered is Tulip and Clover which are too short for my long hands. There’s Boye, which I can’t stand, too plasticy for me.
I’ve never tried the others so can’t tell you about them.

I like the metal hooks. Some swear by the bamboo, but I don’t like the drag on it.

As far as I know the only true inline hooks sold in US that are metal ( aluminum) are made by Susan Bates. I used this baby and my hands said “ perfect”. Since my hands are long, I get the longer Susan Bates. See pictures.
Most amigurumi artists prefer inline hooks.

So, I think if you’re using a typical tapered hook and your yarn keeps sliding off the hook, get an inline hook.



Michaels doesn’t sell Susan Bates. Joann’s sells Susan Bates in all its forms/sizes as well as other Susan Bates notions.
