Ergonomic Crochet Hooks, 9-Piece Set — Soft Grip Aluminum Hooks from 2 mm to 6 mm, Red or Blue

Nine ergonomic crochet hooks, color-matched from hook to handle: a deep berry red, or dark navy handles with blue-tinted aluminum hooks. Lined up from 2 mm to 6 mm, they look like a proper set of tools rather than a jumble of odds and ends.

The soft grip handles are thick and gently cushioned, so you can hold the hook lightly and keep going for longer. Customers who crochet with arthritis or grip problems have told us these are easier on their hands, and one wrote that they can use them for hours without their hands hurting.

The sizes go up in half-millimeter steps, with no gaps: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 mm. That covers fine cotton and amigurumi at the small end through to DK and worsted blankets at the top, and every handle is printed with its size.

Choose Your Set

There are five ways to buy:

• 1 Red Set: 9 hooks
• 1 Blue Set: 9 hooks
• 2 Red Sets: 18 hooks, two of every size
• 2 Blue Sets: 18 hooks, two of every size

Two sets are handy for keeping a full set in each project bag, or for sharing one with a friend who is learning to crochet. Red and blue also make it easy to tell two people's hooks apart.

Why Ergonomic Crochet Hooks

A plain aluminum hook is about as thick as a pencil, so your fingers end up pinching it. An ergonomic handle is wider and softer, which spreads the pressure and lets you relax your grip, whether you hold the hook like a pencil or like a knife. You still get the smooth glide of an aluminum tip; the comfort comes from the handle.

How This Compares

• Against plain aluminum hooks: the same smooth metal tip, with a cushioned handle you can hold for a whole evening.
• Against sets that start at 2.25 mm: many popular ergonomic sets begin at 2.25 mm. This one starts at a true 2.0 mm, which is useful for fine cotton and small amigurumi.
• Against our pink crochet hook set with case: that one comes in a zip case with yarn snips and runs 2.5 to 6 mm. This set adds the 2.0 mm hook and comes in red or blue.
• Need somewhere to keep them? Our crochet hook case is made for thick ergonomic handles.

Sizing, Materials & Care

• US equivalents: 4.0 mm is G-6, 5.0 mm is H-8, 5.5 mm is I-9 and 6.0 mm is J-10.
• Yarn: the 2.0 to 3.5 mm hooks suit thread, fine cotton and amigurumi; 4.0 to 6.0 mm suit DK and worsted weight yarn.
• Care: wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store the hooks flat or in a case so the tips stay straight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are in the 9-piece crochet hook set?
Every half size from 2.0 mm to 6.0 mm: 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 mm. Each size is printed on its handle.

Are these crochet hooks aluminum?
Yes. The hooks are aluminum, colored to match the handle, and set into a soft grip handle.

Are ergonomic crochet hooks good for arthritic hands?
Many crocheters with arthritis prefer a thicker, softer handle because it lets them hold the hook with less force. Several of our customers with arthritis or grip problems have told us these hooks make crocheting more comfortable.

What is the difference between the red and blue sets?
Only the color. Both have the same nine sizes, the same aluminum hooks and the same soft grip handles.

Are these a good crochet hook set for beginners?
Yes. The set includes the 5.0 mm (H-8) hook most first patterns ask for, plus every size either side of it, so a beginner will not outgrow it.

Pick your color, pick one set or two, and enjoy crocheting with hooks that are as comfortable as they are good-looking.
