Bargain crochet hooks often feature comfort, speed or durability. For the beginner crocheter, knowing which one to choose can be a frustrating process. Avoid the hassle (and expense) of testing and messing with all the known crochet brands, and let us do the work for you instead!
Addi's Swing Ergonomic Crochet Hook — This new design from Addi really impresses with its soft feel and smooth curves. You will be banging out crocheted Christmas gifts left and right with this beauty. (Alpaca Direct, $13)
Laurel Hill's Ebony Wood — Hand carved from sustainable materials. They have a specially designed thumb rest and will also make you feel good because they are environmentally responsible. (Alpaca Direct, $8)
Brittany's Birch Crochet Hook — The wood used for these crochet hooks comes from selectively cut forests, to better foster reforestation and healthy forest growth. The hand carved details make this hook seem like a luxury hook, but only you will know how much of a bargain it was! (Brittany, $7)
Boye's Crochet Hook Steel & Aluminum Hook Set — This master crochet set contains the majority of standard size crochet hooks, including steel hooks (sizes 00 to 14) and aluminum (sizes 3.25 mm to 6.5 mm). With the variety of sizes, crocheters won't need to worry about not having the right size hook. Beware, though, that the smaller hooks have been known to succumb to bending with long-term use.
