Quality material

To rest assured that you bought a premium quality product, you need to verify the material type used. Oftentimes, we get steel, bamboo, wood, and aluminum materials. BeCraftee hooks are made of aluminum.

Quality of materials

You will be forgiven for thinking that since Knitter’s Pride hooks are made of wood it means they are mediocre. Wood crochet hooks are quality materials too. Although not as tough as their metallic counterparts, wood products are relatively free of corrosion.

Nonetheless, handle the crochets with care to avoid any accidental breakage. I also like the colorfulness of these tools. You will be able to distinguish them and no known which color to pick in a blink of an eye.

Storage

Storage-wise, these tools can be stored in their clear vinyl case to be used on the go. A small alternative bag can also be used as the tools are relatively small.

3. Caron Tulip Etimo – Best Crochet Hooks For Beginners

Caron Tulip crochet hooks enable beginners to knit with accuracy as though they have been in the crocheting business for a long time. I found nothing complicated or complex with the crochets hence I categorized them as the best hooks for beginners.

What do you get?

In your package, you get plenty of items sized (D3/3.25mm E4/3.5mm F5/3.75mm G6/4mm 7/4.5mm H8/5mm I9/5.5mm and J10/6mm).

Further, aluminum is great in corrosion resistance. That said, you can enjoy crocheting in different weather conditions without worrying about rust. If you frequent the wilderness, you can enjoy crocheting with these hooks without them suffering from the outdoor elements.

Storage

When it comes to storage,  I must admit that the clear case that this set comes with is not impressive to that extent. If you want something with a premium feel, you would opt for a different case.  My previous products had much better cases for storage purposes. However, this is not really a downside but an expression of dissatisfaction with the case.

Verdict

If you are a fan of aluminum, you will find this Caron Tulip’s set worth investing in. It has the tools you will need for your knitting project. Although not colorful enough, the hooks are still visible with their different sizes. They have a soft, cushy, and smooth feel. Why wouldn’t one want such an amazing product? I recommend it!

Literally, you will have to wait for me to finish counting what’s included in the package. In other words, there are plenty of items in this complete set. You get 20 differently sized crochet hooks with their accessories.

Count to the number 6 yarn needles, which also add value to this set. A pair of scissors and 20 stitch markers are also included.

If I were to rate these sets of crochet hooks, this one would top the rank with its user-friendliness, hence I categorize it as the best for arthritic hands. The hooks are super user-friendly.

For convenience’s sake, you find the tools color-coded to distinguish between the sizes. This also helps when storing them. That said, you will worry no more about confusing the sizes or losing your crochet hook. Thanks to the elastic slots provided with the product.

5. Looen Set – Best Tunisian Crochet Hooks With Cables

These Tunisian crochet hooks are one of a kind on the market with their long and soft cables. They take crocheting to the next level despite being made of ABS plastic while the majority is made of metallic materials.

What do you get?

Braze yourself for 12 different Tunisian crochet hooks at your disposal. They are alternatively called Afghan hooks. With these differently sized hooks, you can complete all your crocheting projects with ease because you get to choose the appropriate size for the project and the yarn. The sizes range from 3.5 mm to 12 mm with 1.2 m in length.

Both beginners and pros may find this product very helpful, all thanks to the different sizes.

User-friendliness

User-friendliness has not been compromised in this product. The grip is extremely comfortable, the groove handle is combined with the lightweight crochet needles to yield low pressure when using these tools. I must say that even arthritic people can enjoy using these hooks.

The included soft and long cables enhance the user-friendliness. They make handling an absolute breeze.  To add on that, these hooks are relatively long compared to standard crochet hooks. That said, big projects will be a cinch to complete and you will be able to handle multiple loops with ease to create your stitches. 

Quality materials

While it may not match the ruggedness and sturdiness of metallic materials, ABS plastic is still a genuinely durable product. It will last you for a long time. Looen Set is made of engineering ABS plastic. Added benefits to this material are that it resists corrosion and abrasion. The tools still feel soft and cushy in hands, thus rendering them suitable for those with pre-existing conditions of arthritis.

Storage

If storage is your main concern, then I’m afraid you might have to look for alternative storage.  This set does not come with an impressive storage case like other previous products I have reviewed.  That is not, however, a discouragement to buy the product. I would opt for an aftermarket bag, which I should find cheaply online.

Verdict

For your crocheting needs, I recommend this set of crochets. The set provides you with 12 different sizes of hooks with cables made of ABS plastics. All I see is quality material suitable for enthusiasts in the knitting world. I wish the carrying case was that attractive. Nonetheless, you can opt for an alternative one.

6. MW Hook Set – Best Steel Crochet Hooks

You probably know how tough steel is compared to aluminum and other common materials such as rubber, wood, and plastic used in manufacturing crochet hooks. Does this toughness make steel hooks leaders in the crocheting business?

What do you get?

Best Steel Crochet Hooks could be your go-to product if all you need is tough crochet for tough projects. However, this does not really make these items superior to all other materials.

In this package, you get a set of 16 crochet hooks, from which you can select whichever size fits your project and/or your yarn. These sizes are from 0.5 mm to 2.7 mm. All items are approximately 12 cm in length.

User-friendliness

Made of rough steel, one would conclude that the items are super user-friendly. Well, a different scenario emerges.

Steel is tough and super durable. However, it is not as user-friendly as other materials unless coated for a proper finish and for water resistance. Stainless steel is a finished product, which performs way better than steel.

For this reason, these crochet hooks are not really user-friendly in hands but are nonetheless great for your crocheting business if all you need is tough crochet. What I like most about the product is that it can withstand any pressure you subject it to when crocheting.

Quality materials

When coming to quality, steel is quality material. There is no doubt about that. It will surely last you years to come.

However, you need to be vigilant when exposing these crochet hooks to outdoor elements. Unless treated, steel does not resist corrosion and other outdoor elements. Besides, these drawbacks, steel is of premium quality material.

Storage

 The set does not come with a carrying case.  You may, therefore, have to consider alternative storage cases for your storage purposes. Considering how water resistance is challenging for steel hooks, I recommend considering waterproof storage cases. Always store them after use to avoid any contact with precipitation if working outdoors.

Verdict

If you are looking for tough crochets, this is the best option. However, I reckon you buy a waterproof storage case so you can store these items. A soft and cushy feel on the handle is not guaranteed; however, steel brings top-notch quality and durability. I recommend this product for enthusiasts in the world of crocheting.

7. Yarniss Lighted Set – Best Lighted Crochet Hooks

If you are more technologically inclined, these Yarniss Lighted Crochet Hooks could be suitable purchases for you. They take crocheting from manual to automatic. So far, this is the only technologically advanced set of tools I have reviewed under the best crochet hooks.

What do you get?

In this unique organizer bag, you get a set of crochet hooks totaling 9 items. There are 9-in-1 interchangeable heads with hook sizes ranging from 2.5 mm to 6.5 mm. also, you get 9 hook tips, a wrench, USB cable, 10 stitch markers, soft measuring tape, magnifier, handle, and a carrying case. What else did I leave? That is all that you will get in this package as you embark on a journey to take crocheting to the next level.

User-friendliness

This electronically advanced set of crochet hooks is user-friendly. Handling the tools is one such enjoyable moment that even the arthritic hands can embrace. The crochet runs on a battery that lasts long. It takes about 15 minutes to charge but can last 7 to 9 hours after a single charge.

If you are traveling to a far place, make sure you charge enough and preferably own multiple batteries in case your battery depletes before finishing your project. You also get the charger included in the set.

For user-friendliness, I applaud the 2 brightness modes. If your crocheting needs illumination, you can take advantage of these brightness modes. Working with a dark yarn will be advantageous when using these brightness modes.

Quality materials

The crochet is made of a durable polycarbonate while the handles are made of silicone.  All these materials are superb in quality even though they do not come closer to aluminum with premium quality. Nonetheless, if all you want is decent quality, this is the best product to opt for.  What I like most about this is its technological advances. You seldom find such crochet hooks that are rechargeable or that come with interchangeable heads.

Storage

You are provided with the carrying case. For this reason, storage is sorted with this set. If you are traveling outdoors, you will be able to store your items and hit the road. There are individual slots for each item; this prevents the likelihood of losing your hook.

Verdict

Tired of manual crochets? These crochet hooks are the best products to consider by technologically inclined crocheters. I love how the product comes with interchangeable heads. Also, it is easy to store in individual slots. Personally, I found this product worth investing in. Just be careful of the batteries. I would take multiple batteries if I were you and then hit the road.

8. KOKNIT Set – Best Crochet Hooks For Amigurumi

If you are into crocheting adorable Japanse-inspired small creatures, Koknit Set could be your best buy. The overall experience of using these tools is enriching. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter.

Multiple crochet sizes simplify your job by enabling you to choose the correct size for a specific task; you would otherwise purchase individual sizes of hooks designed for particular projects. Thanks to this set of 14 pcs of crochet hooks and accessories to make your job effortless.

 Those suffering from arthritis can also find this set very user-friendly. No pains felt after using the crochet.  Most importantly, you will not aggravate your condition. Very few crochets have a cushion feel that accommodates arthritic conditions.

Quality materials

Like the majority of crochets on the market, these ones are made of premium aluminum material.

In this set, you get smooth aluminum crochet designed to last you for a prolonged time without splitting your yarn. Knitting becomes a smooth process with these long yet quality crochets.

Speaking of the storage, the 14 pcs come in a carrying case that you can travel with. You will travel knowing that your items are safe and can conveniently take out a specific size without others disturbing you.

Using the product is quite an absolute breeze as the crochets are extra-long and the handles are ergonomically built to give a soft touch. If you are dissatisfied with the product, you will qualify for a money-back guarantee. Without hesitation, I do recommend this product.

9. BCMRUN – Best Aluminum Crochet Hooks

This is yet another aluminum set of crochets. If you recall vividly, I have reviewed ample aluminum-based crochet hooks. You would even think aluminum is the only high-quality material used.

What do you get?

In this set, you get 14 aluminum crochet hooks with sizes: 2.0 mm up to 10.0 mm. The hooks are multi-color coded with each displaying the appropriate so that you can choose the correct one for your project.

 Unlike others, you don’t get much of the accessories in this set. Only the crochets are provided. I also wish the carrying case was impressive enough, but it isn’t. 

User-friendly

Using this set of crochets should be an intriguing moment for both beginners and pros. At first glance, you see a portable tool with the appropriate hook, shaft, and ergonomic handle. And when you pick it up, you feel the premium quality of aluminum in it. Lastly, you will feel the comfort of using it for your crocheting tasks. It feels lightweight yet functional in knitting.

Because you have plenty of items, they are each color-coded. If it were not the case, you would otherwise struggle to spot the correct size at a glance. Each item is printed the right size. Those involved in multiple projects will find this set very helpful.

Quality material

This is the best aluminum crochet hook set. I have had the privilege to get hold of it, and I must admit it felt so premium and lightweight in my hands. If you leave them exposed to the outdoor elements, they will not corrode or rust.

The overall anatomy of this crochet hook is impressive. The hook is impressively sharper to be inserted in any stitch without splitting the yarn. The crochet is long enough to knit your fabric through the loops.

Storage

Unfortunately, storage seems to be a problem for this set. There is no carrying case. Nonetheless, that is not really the downside of buying the product. You can still find an alternative storage case. The bottom line with this product is its rich collection of features.

Verdict

Personally, I am always impressed and attracted by crochet hooks made of aluminum. I do not, however, insinuate that other materials are mediocre. If you were to compare, aluminum tops in terms of lightweight to durability ratio. Steel, for instance, might be highly durable but performs badly when coming to outdoor elements. If you are ready for an investment, this is the best product to consider.

10. Athena YY – Best Bamboo Crochet Hooks

For a change, you get these bamboo crochet hooks to complete your crocheting tasks. These types of materials are not as common as aluminum. Nonetheless, they are fairly durable and of high quality.

What do you get?

In this pack of 12, you get wooden crochet hooks with sizes: 3 – 10mm. each crochet is marked with metric sizes for ease of identification in case you are faced with a project that demands different sizes of crochets. You would otherwise spend lots of money on buying individual crochets of different sizes.

These crochet tools are 6 inches long. For this reason, they are easy to handle. Unfortunately, the pack is not as inclusive as others with regard to accessories. Typically, you get wooden tools. Others such as yarn and measuring tape have to be purchased separately.

User-friendly

Considering that the tools are purely made of durable carbonized wooden bamboo, I find them very user-friendly in my hands. For example, it feels super comfortable to grip them with ease and control. However, you have to beware not to break these wooden items. They are not as durable as aluminum – a metallic counterpart.

Given the different sizes, these tools are user-friendly. They are not multicolor-coded but are, however, still fairly identifiable, although you have to be careful.

Quality materials

Upon seeing this wooden design, many would assume the crochets could break easily. You are forgiven if you thought the same. That is not really the case here. Bamboo is still fairly durable, and these tools will last you considerably longer.

You just need to be vigilant when dealing with them, more especially the thin ones. Use thick crochets for bigger projects and thin ones for small projects.

Storage

Although the carrying case is not that attractive, it is fairly functional and will be able to store the tools. That said, you need not worry about getting alternative storage because the supplied bag is sufficient. However, if you are not a fan of the colors then you can reconsider it.

Verdict

If you are looking for a change of material instead of aluminum, this is the right product as bamboo is relatively high quality. I recommend the product without hesitation. However, word of advice, make sure you use the tools vigilantly and carefully because the thin ones could break if exposed to bigger projects.

Buyer’s guide

Now that I have reviewed the best crochet hooks, let’s discuss the best buyer’s guide. Given hundreds of crochets on the market, it can get overwhelmingly confusing to pick the best one. In my collection, I have picked the sets that come with different hooks in different sizes. This helps you choose the appropriate for a particular project. Let’s check what features are worth considering.

Quantity of tools per set

More crochet hooks in your package give you the much-needed versatility in your different projects. These tools must come in different sizes. You will be able to choose the correct tool. Moreover, I prefer color-coded items that will help me identify with ease the correct sizes. Nonetheless, those without colors are still fairly identifiable if you give yourself enough time to check them.

Quality material

Are the tools made of bamboo, rubber, ABS plastic, steel, or aluminum? In my experience, I have come across plenty of tools made of aluminum and plastics. However, almost every material has at least one product made of it.

When selecting proper material, consider corrosion-free and durable materials. Aluminum, for instance, is both lightweight and durable. Also, it is shiny. I personally prefer aluminum over any other material. ABS plastics are also fairly durable, and so it is with bamboo.

If you frequent the outdoors, steel may be a challenge because if exposed to outdoor elements for a prolonged time, it might be prone to rust.

User-friendliness

Are the handles soft and comfortable to grip? Will the arthritic patients enjoy working with the crochet hook? These are some of the questions to gauge the user-friendliness of these items. You need cushioned handles that will not leave pains and cramps on your fingers, hands, and wrists after use.

Conclusion

This marks the end of my comprehensive review of the best crochet hooks on the market. I have reviewed only the best based on the features I discussed in the buyer’s guide.

In a nutshell, if you need quality crochets, check the quality of materials, the quantity in the set, and the overall anatomy including the handles and the sizes. This will help you buy the correct products. For a beginner in crocheting, I recommend watching this YouTube video. It demystifies the process of crocheting.
